I Honestly believe that Pierce should not start upon coming back. This team has a new look, and Doc has to mix line-ups in order to take advantage of that new look.

Nate Robinson: Huge upside, I loved what he did in the Cavs game (High Screen and Drive/High Screen and Dish.

The problem lies here... Upon Pierce's return the 2ND UNIT line will look like this...

Nate (ball-handler/creator/shooter/scorer), Tony (defender/slasher), Marquis (ball-handler/defender/scorer/slasher), Davis (Post/rebounder/scorer) and Rasheed (Scorer/Defender)

There is one important thing missing in that lineup...NO SHOOTERS, BUT THE CREATOR HIMSELF!!! This unit has no outside threat to ease things a little for Nate, so getting shots and taking games over in Boston is going to be far difficult than when he was in New York surrounded by shooters.

Pierce on the 2nd unit will help a whole lot, and teams will be confused on how to defend the C's.

New-Look 2nd Unit: Nate, Tony, Paul, Davis, Rahseed

Marquis is a far better defender than paul, so why not start him to defend the opposing team's starting SF's.

Anyhow Doc Needs to do something, because Danny has done his part. Not in panic mode because it isn't the playoffs, just would like a shake-up of team. 45mins for Rondo was inexcusable :-\
