Looks like Barbosa will be the main back up PG?

Rondo in the Boston Globe today...

Rondo on Leandro Barbosa, who is expected to join the Celtics for Saturday’s game: “It’s big for me, I won’t have to play as many minutes and take a toll on my body. And with Barbosa in the game, the speed is going to continue to stay the same when I go out. He can create his own shots, make plays for teammates, and also can score the ball. I think it’s a great pickup.” Boston Globe

So looks like Barbosa might be the leader of the PG by committee? I guess that works for me as long as terry still gets his minutes. what ya'll think?

I think Terry will play the bulk of the back up point guard minutes?  Barbosa will be the fourth guard in the rotation until Bradley gets healthy.  If everyone's healthy at the same time at any point during the season, Barbosa will be an excellent flexer, or towel waver, or maybe he'll come up with some new, cool Brazilian thing.

Doc has is work cut out for him...its really going to be about this Ubuntu these guys have to be unselfish , because we have so many guards its all about match ups now...Barbosa is a guard that looks to score but he can play the point as well, brings  veteran leadership as well...but i dont see him getting minutes when Bradley is back.

Not necessarily. It means that even with Bradley out, we have 4 legit rotation guards.

No, I don't envision any scenario in which Terry is not the main back-up, as in, first guard off the bench who'll handle PG duties.

Of the five guards (rondo, lee, jet, bradley, and the blur), the only one that isn't a combo guard is lee.  Jet was at his best in dallas sharing the ball / point duties with JJ Barea and JKidd.  I could see that happening with bradley / barbosa / rondo (depending) - where they seamlessly move between on ball / off ball players in the flow of the offense.  I understand that bradley hasn't looked to be a primary on the ball player historically - but I am projecting an improvement.
