Playoff Rotation

[Big_Matt34]

Well with one game left until the real games start, figure ill ask what people expect the rotation to be in the playoffs. I'll do the minutes later, but heres what im guessing.

Rondo/TA (Though i expect Rondo to play 40 a game atleast)
Ray/TA
Pierce/Finley
KG/Baby
Perk/Sheed

Nate will play if we really need offense, Marquis if TA/Finley get in quick foul trouble which is likely considering we likely will play the Dwayne Wades. Sheldon maybe if BBD and Sheed arent rebounding or defending, which isnt really a stretch. I would of never believed TA would be in the playoff rotation before this season, but im happy for him as he worked his butt off and finally learned to play within himself

Pretty much.

This is the rotation that Doc has said we are going to see. At some point I think Robinson is going to wiggle his way back in there, at least for a few games. Daniels appears to be the odd man out, unless foul trouble or injuries happen.

[PosImpos]

Rondo (40) - Nate (when necessary)
Ray (35) - TA (18)
Pierce (38) - Finley (12)
KG (35) - Glen Davis (10)
Perk (32) - Rasheed (20)

I think Daniels should get some stints depending on situations. But I have zero confidence in Doc Rivers at this point.

Rondo, Ray, Paul, KG, Perk, Sheed, TA, Finley, and unfortunately Baby.

These guys simply need to find there game and mesh quickly.

Hah.  It's such an absurdly unlikely idea that it almost makes me laugh.

[mmbaby]

Let's hope for continued health for our starters, but they seem so easily prone to injury now.

[misha]

Nate should be part of the rotation. With him you can find out early if he's on or off, and in some game his ball hog mode can help.

As much as I have liked TA this year, I find it hard to believe he will be the backup PG, despite what Doc has said.  The bench needs to have energy and with Nate, TA and Baby, at least we will get some hustle.

Why no love for Scal?

Five of these nine guys are in their thirties, playing in a league dominated by guys in their twenties.  It looks bleak.

Too big of a defensive liability to count on him. Maybe 5-8 minutes, I think Tony is our best bet in most situations.

[snively]

Baby shouldn't be in the playoff rotation, IMHO and even Finley is questionable to me.

If I were Doc, I'd take a page from Chicago last year and use TA in the Hinrich role and Sheed in the Miller role.  That might give us more of TA & Sheed than we'd like, but I think it's better than diluting our talent so heavily with Finley and Baby.

Playoff rotation? BM?

By the way we have been playing apparently we only have to work out a game rotation for 4 games...


.................then help Sheed and Doc pack................

[Cman]

Rondo (40) - Nate (when necessary)
Ray (35) - TA (18)
Pierce (38) - Finley (12)
KG (35) - Glen Davis (10)
Perk (32) - Rasheed (20)

Yes, something like this.  S. Williams will get minutes if there are injuries, fouls, technicals/ejections to KG, Perk, Sheed.

Po there is still reason to believe (kind of), as you have learned over the last few years, i am basically always right  . One thing i was wrong about however was Sheed, hopefully Larry Brown still wants him after this year. Part of me still thinks he will step it up in the playoffs, may be wishful thinking though.
