Still a couple of weeks away, but Doc announced his
10 man playoff rotation today.
Rivers indicated the rotation would be last night’s starting five with Shaquille O’Neal (if healthy) in place of Jermaine O’Neal in the starting lineup. Then it would be Jermaine O’Neal, Nenad Krstic, Glen Davis, Jeff Green and Delonte West coming off the bench.
If you had asked me to predict the rotation prior I would have said the same thing. Now 10 guys seems like one too many and if the O'Neals are both healthy for every game of the playoffs I would imagine Kristic would be the odd man out. But if you're Doc you have to tell Kristic to be prepared, because the O'Neals health is no given. I would imagine West might actually be the reserve getting the most minutes as he seems to fit a little better than Green right now. Green will get the 10 minutes backing up Pierce, but will have to fight Baby and West for any more burn.
