I'm curious how a Sasha at the 2, Pietrus at the 3, with Bradley running the point would work.

Let's be real and break it down by position.

PG: Rondo is playing 40 minutes. Bradley is playing 8.
SG: Ray is playing 30 minutes. Bradley is playing 18. If either of these numbers are lower, the minutes are going to Pietrus.
SF: Pierce is playing 38 minutes. Pietrus is playing 10.
PF: Bass is playing 36 minutes, Garnett is playing 12.
C: Garnett is playing 24 minutes, Stiemsma is playing 24 minutes.

I think you will see some minutes where a wing is at the 4 (i.e. a small ball lineup, probably Pierce.) That will reduce some of the bigs' minutes and open up more minutes for Pietrus. Also I wouldn't be surprised to see less minutes for Ray given his injury w/ Pietrus or Bradley picking them up.

This cant be a serious thread can it?... Sasha might be the biggest bonehead the Celtics have had in the last ten years. The guy is terrible and shouldnt see the floor... luckily, the last couple games he has been a shade above bearable. There is NO WAY he should be in the rotation over Petey however.

Not very well offensively.  None of those guys can consistently create looks off the dribble or the pick/roll/pop.

I'd be much happier with Ray sandwiched between Bradley and Pietrus.  Still not ideal in terms of shot-creation but far preferable to Sasha.

Let's hope Ray's ankle heals up.

There've been over 100 players who have been Celtics since 2001-2002 and I can't see how Pavlovic is even close to the top ten biggest boneheads in green.
