Projected playoff rotation (with anticipated minutes)

[Moranis]

PG - Rondo 40, West 8
SG - Allen 35, West 13
SF - Pierce 35, Green 13
PF - Garnett 25, Davis 15, Green 8
C - S. O'Neal 25, Krstic 13, Garnett 10
 
Total Minutes
Rondo 40
Allen 35
Pierce 35
Garnett 35
S. O'neal 25
West 21
Green 21
Davis 15
Krstic 13 

If J. O'Neal comes back healthy you just put him in for Krstic and cut back KG's minutes at center.

That seems like a pretty darn good roster and rotation.  I think people need to calm down about the world is falling.  That team should still be a favorite to win the title.

Agree overall except KG will play very few minutes at center regardless of JO's presence.  Baby will get the minutes that the O'Neals/Krstic do not.  The only exception is if we go small with Green at the 4, Doc may want KG at the 5 for rebounding.

take 2 more minutes away from kg and pierce and divide them up between davis and green and I think you are right on.

I'd switch around Shaq and Green minutes.

It's pretty scary having to rely on Shaq for that many minutes (even with them reversed)

That was actually my thinking and being realistic, Orlando is the only team in the East where KG can't defensively play center (and that is just when Dwight is in the game).  Everyone else KG is fine playing the backup (or 3rd string) center.

Add more minutes of Davis at Center and add more minutes of Green at PF, take away minutes of Krstic.

Shaq is averaging 20.7 minutes during the regular season.  I think bumping him up 4 a game for the playoffs isn't much of a stretch.

I guess I meant, more that he'd be available at all.

& think about Murphy or who ever else might walk through that door
