Doc names Bass and KG starting 4 and 5 respectively moving forward

Doc had the following to say about the new starting line-up:
Jermaine O’Neal, who is seeking alternate opinions about his sore left wrist after taking a cortisone shot last week, is not holding up the starting rotation. Rivers said he decided during the All-Star break to start bringing O’Neal off the bench.
The reason is a quicker, more athletic team with Kevin Garnett at center and Brandon Bass at power forward. O’Neal, then, is back where he started last season — as a reserve.
“We’re quicker, there’s no doubt, and Kevin has been fantastic at the 5,” Rivers said. “I had made the decision even before the injury — when Brandon and Kevin come back, that will be our starting five, and JO and Chris (Wilcox) and whoever else will come off the bench. I made that decision long before whether he was coming back or not.” . . .
Looks like Doc is getting ready for the postseason, where the Celtics do still have a puncher's shot at this thing. He's shortened the rotation to 9 to get players gelling better and now he's tweaked the starting line-up to get his best 5 out there from the get go. If they can remain healthy that's a pretty formidable starting 5.
