I prefer Sheed to play against Bynum, draw him out.

Baby can grab hustle boards better against just Gasol and Odom out there.

Chris Sheridan on the pre-game chat just said Doc will let them know at his press conference in an hour who starts.  Sounds like nothing official has been announced yet.

Looks to me Doc is thinking BBD will come out with unlimited energy and Sheed will close the game.

I think it's also true that Wallace is more likely to pick up a couple of quick fouls if he starts...

Rasheed has played north of 19 minutes only once since hurting his back last series. Baby has to start because Sheed's hurting so bad he's limited in minutes he can give the team.

That's my read.

Besides, Baby does a great job on big centers who he can get underneath with with his huge frame and move off the box. Something about Baby moving Bynum out on a box out by getting under him after he jumps makes me smile. Especially when Bynum tries to land. :D ;D

Baby comes up big in big games.  Let's hope it's holds true tonight.

My take for what its worth. Doc is littering the media with misinformation. If the Celtics can keep Phil Jackson and the Lakers guessing it only plays into our hands! I would not be surprised to see Doc use a small lineup too. Go Green!

I prefer Sheed to start, with BBD bringing a ton of energy off the bench.

Mike Lynch on ABC said Baby will start and Sheed will come in at the 6 min mark, unless Baby is getting eaten up by Gasol, in which case Sheed would come in earlier.

I prefer Bynum leaning on Baby instead of on KG and Sheed. Sheed has been swinging a lot at opponents leading to very high fouls per minute. Baby is also in better physical conditioning. With Sheed's back, I don't want Bynum leaning on him much.

I also prefer to be in a position to always have either Sheed or KG on the floor. If we are stuck bringing in Williams at any point, I would rather see him on the floor with Sheed than with Baby.

Doc Rivers just said on NBA TV that Rasheed Wallace is starting at center.

Perk just put on his game shorts and warm-up shirt, then disappeared to back. Jersey hanging in stall. Waiting for him to return to locker.


Interesting.
