With West back who sits?

Rondo and Ray sit more often.

Rondo and Ray sit more often.

simple statement but so true
I'd love to see all starters except krstic get some time off.  Ray and rondo have been really pushing minutes.  I think easily who sits, bradley!  I noticed doc played him at sg last night w/ arroyo and he didn't look any better.

I think it all depends on the matchups.

First of all, Bradley sits automatically.  I'm almost all set with Murphy too unless J.O. is hurt.  Murph is horrible at D.  So that's two I would sit.  Then it's down to Von vs Pavlovic.

Chicago has doesn't have a great 2 guard so you would need more offense/spacing.  Wouldn't need Sasha's D as much so I would go with Von.

Against Miami I think you would need all the wings you could get so you might sit Arroyo and have Sasha and Von available.  But I would definitely want Sasha around as an extra guy to throw at Lebron and Wade.  I don't think Von scares them at all.

I'd probably go with the same strategy against Orlando too.  I'd rather have Pavlovic as a guy to throw on Turk or J Rich just because he's a little bigger than Von and those guys are decent post up guards.

Against L.A. I'd sit Arroyo along with Murphy and Bradley since you won't need anyone to stop Fisher.  Von and Pavlovic can help Ray if he gets in foul trouble (although I'd prefer Paul at the 2 and Green at the 3)

The actual rotations I'd like to see:
Rondo/Delonte
Ray/Paul
Paul/Green
KG/BBD
Shaq/Krstic or J.O.(depending on offense/defense matchups)

nobody...you can play arroyo at PG and west at the 2

hello everyone, i'm new here since Arroyo signed.

What is the status of J'Oneal?
Is he expected to be back before the playoffs?

When they made the trades Ainge said JO would be back, but I really don't expect to see him back (and if we do, I don't expect him to contribute much for long)

What about Bradley? I can't see any good thing in the last 3 previous games...poor defense, poor offense...i think he is one of the players with less minutes, if any at all, in West return and I agree with some of you that West should play some SG position with Arroyo in PG to give the starters more time to rest.If Arroyo keep playing good then Doc should consider him to the playoffs but i know will be very difficult with a 12 players roster.

Bradley's only been playing because of all of the injuries. He's nowhere near ready as an NBA player.  Arroyo gets minutes if he can earn them from Delonte (assuming Delonte can keep himself on the court)

Quick question: The 12 players for the playoffs can be changed during the series?

Pretty sure they can change the rosters on a nightly basis, just like the regular season.

...and WELCOME!

Thanks for the welcome and the info. itsthatbradguy thanks too.
Bradley look young but...19? I now understand.

I hope Shaq and JOneal get 100% ready for the playoffs.

Rondo.

Hopefully Rondo will sit, he sucks right now, its embarassing that I once thought he was the best point guard in the league.

You forgot 1 option:  West.

When West is back I'd prefer it if he sits.

No.
