I'm assuming Wafer was a healthy scratch tonight with Krstic back in the lineup.

So when Shaq gets back who doesn't dress; Arroyo, Pavlovic, or Murphy?  I'm going to guess Murphy since there really aren't enough minutes for Shaq/Jon/Krstic/BBD/KG.  And you could probably throw JG in there when we play small.

The other positions aren't as deep if Pierce or Rondo get into foul trouble.

Yeah ... definitely Murphy, for the position and the fact that he's had next-to-no experience with this lineup.

Murph for sure. Poor guy, benched all season and since coming to Boston he really hasn't had the opportunity to prove what he is capable of.

Not so poor guy who is getting paid for doing nothing practically all year and who says he didn't get a chance earlier to prove himself. I remember some 0 for something start but when he just started to contribute got hurt. Hard to say, Carlos isn't getting time nor is Pavlovic for some reason.

I still think murphy can help, Pavlovic I think is a body.  He'll work in all ways but he doesn't seem to me to add anything to the equation.  His defense is good but I see nothing else.  Murphy or him.  Arroyo will help us.

Murphy we'll have to wait at least another season before experiencing a playoff game

I hope it's not Murphy because I still think he can help us.  Pavlovic looks like a stiff out there.

Depends on the opponent - against the Bulls I'd probably rather have the size as their SGs stink, ditto ORL because Howard can run through your big men. But against MIA I'd take the extra wing defender just in case.
