Krstic, West, Baby, Green and ________

[BudweiserCeltic]

Unless players are playing like crap, I really don't see Doc shortening the rotation much. But we'll see.

I think we'll constantly go 9-10 deep, with Arroyo/Murphy/JO being odd men out if we don't go that deep.

How about Kristic, Murphy, Green, Arroyo, West

Too bad you forgot our most consistent and best defensive player in Baby. Any line-up without Davis makes no sense at all.

[rondohondo]

The second unit for the playoffs will be .

PG: West
SG: Wafer
SF: Green
PF: BBD
 C: Kristic

Aroyyo, JO, Pavlovic, Murphy will only play in case of injuries or foul trouble

JO may get take some of Kristic's mins if we face Orlando and/or LAL

Yea uhhh, unless Doc clearly said he's not going with a 10 man rotation, I don't see why he doesn't go with a 5-man bench. For example, would anyone really complain if we had an Arroyo, West, Green, BBD, and Krstic lineup off the bench? It's not like none of them don't have playoff experience; they all played in the playoffs LAST SEASON.

Wafer, unfortunately, may be the odd man out of the playoff rotation due to still being injured, which stinks for him.

Good post.  We saw tonight the defensive intensity that West brings, and he's s good shooter.

So does a triple negative in a [the second to last] sentence change it back to a negative? I actually like how that is written and agree with your post. All of those players will probably see action every game.

Bradley, Wafer and Pavlovic aren't going to be a part of our playoffs rotation.

No way with go with a 10 man rotation in the playoffs unless it's a blowout situation. It will most likely be a 9 man rotation with the 4 players listed in the title coming off the bench if everyone is healthy. The only change I could see is JO sneaking in for Krstic against the bigger teams where we would want his defense. Otherwise, no contender goes with anything more then an 8-9 player rotation.

 Haha, I did type that weird, didn't I? 

 But yeah, all 5 of those guys are veterans with playoff experience. Even if it's for 3 minutes each quarter, I don't see why they can't be trotted out there as a unit in the playoffs.

MVP, Suns ring a bell?

[GreenFaith1819]

Tough call....the way Murph is playing, I'd pick him. He's finding his groove.

If JO can come back in any semblance of what he was before he was injured I'd give him a slight nod over Murph, though.

With this many options for Bigs (hopefully), I see no reason to fear Bynum or LA.

[LilRip]

if everyone's healthy, i think our best lineup/rotation should be

Shaq
KG
PP
Ray
Rondo

JO
Green
DWest

as for the other big, i'm having a hard time deciding between Krstic, Murphy or BBD. i realize that BBD's been part of the rotation for pretty much the whole season, but i think we'd be better off with JO if he's healthy. i think Troy Murphy is also startin to come around pretty well too. the other players (arroyo, pavlovic, wafer, and whichever big doesn't get major minutes) can get spot minutes, and a ton during garbage time.

[Tai]

What's with people trying to squeeze BBD out? 

[Edgar]

Kristi, Murpjy, West, Green, Arroyo

[Edgar]

Since Doc said we're going with a 9 man rotation, that's all you're going to get for the bench.

even worst news for bbd
