I might of gone with Posey but either way Doc just needs to tell KG to look at who he's gonna be guarding if he plays center and then tell him to suck it the hell up.

It's Pau Gasol, KG... I think you can play center against Pau freakin Gasol.

They need Posey coming off the bench on the wing.  He will play a lot of minutes at the 4 I think, but they have more control with him coming off the bench.

As far as Garnett complaining...well, I highly doubt a complaint about playing center ever crossed his mind at this point.  I think Doc could put him on the PG right now, and if he told KG it will give them the best chance to win, all KG would say would be "Yes Sir" (well, he would probably throw in a couple F bombs and a chest bump...but thats just KG).

Probably right about all of that, but man now that I think about it our starting lineup is pretty flawed. I don't think we should go into too many more games starting both Rondo and Perkins. We need a center who can hit a shot beyond 4 feet. I like Perk, but I think he should come off the bench.


He can (hit a shot beyond 4 feet), everytime I've seen it, his midrange jumper has looked nice. He just doesn't use it for some reason. Probably because we need someone around the paint offensively with Garnett roaming on the perimeter. Let's go C's!

This is the best news I've heard all season.

As usual BrickJames your assessment of a player's overall value to the team amazes me...

 The best this team ever plays is when Perk is on the floor being aggressive. Sure he doesn't always do that, but it is becoming more and more often as he matures and develops confidence in what he can do out there. He also is another "KG" type attitude that we need out there. He's shooting just shy of 60 % from the floor in the playoffs blocking 1.3 shots, 6.8  pts and 6.2 boards pg in only 25 minutes. He's only been in foul trouble in a few games and has played through injury. In order to be the defensive presence that we have been all year we need a player like this.
