 While acknowledging the risk of reading too much into the color of jerseys being worn as Boston Celtics players stretched to close out Saturday's practice, it's nonetheless worth noting that Tyler Zeller was sporting typical starter green, while Kelly Olynyk was wearing reserve white.

Maybe the team had just finished up working with sub lineups. But given that Celtics coach Brad Stevens has previously acknowledged a willingness to examine potential lineup tweaks, it's enough to make you wonder if Boston might be pondering the idea of a swap to a more traditional center.

I'm a big Olynyk fan, but I'm not against the idea.

Rondo and Zeller have a good chemistry.
Pressey and Olynyk have a good chemistry.
It might work.

I would just like to see Zeller playing in the fourth quarter, when things slow down and rebounding becomes more important.

Yes, yes and yes.  The kid is shooting 69% for pete's sake and he's the only hint of interior defense on the roster.  Do it, Brad!  Zeller and Sully!

This team is badly in need of defensive help, and even though Zeller's not a shot-blocker, he's the closest thing the Cs have to rim protection in the paint. Start him.

Olynyk has played himself out of the starting lineup.

Has not improved his defense enough since last season to keep his position.

And his offense had taken a nose dive.
