Interesting Lineup

"File this one away for future reference. Doc likes the combination of Stephon Marbury, Eddie House and Ray Allen, which he used to open the fourth quarter. It goes against his better instincts to have a lineup that small play together, but Rivers said the numbers show that it is an effective combination. Here’s another reason why he likes the trio. It’s an effective way to give Paul Pierce a breather. Perhaps Allen can be the long sought-after backup three man." - Paul Flannery - WEEI

with KG or Perk

Maybe KG should sit down earlier and come in at the beginning of the 2nd and 4th quarters with that line up. Perk might be good as well. But these guys needs a backup line on D.

KG posting up with these guys spreading the floor could be very deadly.

Makes sense

Allen, Marbury, House can guard most SF, SG, PG combinations, albeit they are all undersized, not terribly so. Marbury having shooters to kick too is a good thing.
