Wallace will have a similar role to what James Posey had during Boston’s 2008 championship season. Posey was a sparkplug off the bench that season. He was a catalyst on both ends of the floor. Like Posey did at times, Wallace could be on the floor in the fourth quarter with Garnett and Perkins, which would give the Celtics a big lineup that would be tough to defend during crunch time.
“Rasheed will be there in the fourth quarter just like [James] Posey was,” Rivers said. “The difference in some ways, and it is a better difference in some ways, we would go small in the post [in 2008] and the three would have to guard the four, but now we can stay tall with Rasheed at the three and the five would have to guard him. I think teams are going to have to decide how [to defend us]. … Rasheed is such a smart player that anytime you put a four on him he would post him up, and every time you put a five on him he would stand behind the 3-point line.”

Yesterday folks were talking about how Marquis Daniels will replace James Posey. Doc makes it sound like Sheed will replace Posey. Will we still be searching for a Posey successor in February?
