Will Posey back up Paul, Kevin & Ray ??

PG: Rajon Rondo 40 / House or Cassell 8

SG: Ray Allen 40 / Posey 8

SF: Paul Pierce 40 / Posey 8

PF: Kevin Garnett 28 / Posey 8 / Powe 12

C: Perk 28 / PJ 10 / KGarnett 10

Even if Pierce, Garnett, Ray & Rajon play around 40 minutes each,

it looks like James Posey could be the primary backup at SG, SF and PF in this series.

You're thoughts ??

We'll see a lot of Posey subbing in for our 2 and 3 (which alots for around 20 minutes), maybe a little bit at the 4 (which brings his total around 25).

However, I think we're going to see a bit more of Powe/Baby to bang with Turiaf off the bench. The lakers aren't very tall at the 4 or 5, and we need the energy that Powe/Baby bring against this athletic, finesse team. I don't think PJ will be able to move his feet fast enough... though i do prefer him towards the end of the game.

I actually think we'll see a dose of Eddie House in this series because Derek Fisher isn't a threat off the dribble. House's biggest weakness is his man to man defense, imo.

I think Perk will stay out of foul trouble and be called on for closer to 40 minutes than 28.

Perk can't play 40 minutes, I don't think the conditioning is there. Possibly 35 minutes.
