Is there a subtle conspiracy theory out there, that the Celtics are planning a major offensive in the playoffs, resulting in a major sweep of all of their opponents?
In other words, the 'Sheed on the perimeter is a major decoy move for the regular season. In reality, he's gonna be center and play backup minutes to Perks for major post plays when scoring down low is required. Likewise, KG will be the *point* power forward when the game turns into an outside scoring bonanza. Once again, his touches will be disguised decoys, drawing instant double teams to set up the men on the outside.
The rotations where Nate and Finley are out in the perimeter, with let's say a slower line up in the frontline, is to in fact, force opponents to guard the perimeter, while the substitutions on the inside result in major points in the paint. If Jim O'Brien had this, his meager squads would have trumped the Nets immediately.
Paul Pierce will suddenly emerge as a triple-double threat but is keeping it in tank, thus playing less that full quarters these games. Likewise, Rondo's got an Andrew Toney shot which he's just waiting to unleash.
Operation Fo' Fo' Fo' is in the works.
