Doc Rivers said that Jared Sullinger was inserted into the starting lineup to create more energy.
Rivers also said that Sullinger is "playing well," and acknowledged concerns that he'll weaken the bench by starting Sullinger over Brandon Bass. Sullinger finished Sunday's win with seven points and four rebounds, while Bass went for six points and four rebounds. Jeff Green spent the most time at power forward with 42 minutes, compared to 22 for Sullinger and just 14 for Bass.
