The only issue with that is that this is probably the BEST opportunity that the Celtics have left. Why mess with that?


And you believe Perkins is the key to their success?

I believe that they were doing well, and you shouldn't mess with something that's not broken. There are two other Celtics that play Dwight well. Sheed and Shaq. Sheed's gone, and Shaq? Well... he's injured, an uncertainty, and 39 years of age. Best case scenario, you're getting Shaq for half a game in the playoffs.
You really want to put Krstic or Davis on Howard for the other half?

Shaq does not play Howard well, not this year at least.

On Dec. 25th Celts and Magic squared off.

Howard had 33 mins, 6 pts, 11 RB (1 OR), 5 fouls, 5 blocks and 4 TOs

Davis had 39 Mins mostly at C, 16 pts, 8 RB (4 OR), 4 fouls, only 2 TOs. He was +5
Shaq had 13 mins and was -13
Jermain 10 mins, -5
Perkins was hurt

Orlando won this game withh a big comeback but motly because Rondo was hurt, and Allen and Robinson shot 5-28 combined.

Again on 1/17.

Howard went off. like 33 pts and shot well
Shaq had 26 mins and was -10
Davis had 15 pts 2 asst, 2 blocks and was +5 in 31 mins
Perkins was hurt

Boston won on some late game heroics by KG

And finally on 2/6
Howard went 10-20 with 28 pts and 13 RB (3 OR)

Perkins had 0 pts (0-5) 13 RB 1OR) 3 assists and 2 blocks

Boston won this game too.

Other than KG, Davis is the only big man to have had any success vs Orlando so far this year, so yeah go with Davis. Orlando has Howard but fortunately for the rest of the league this is a 5 on 5 game. I think Boston is pretty much a team of 4 all-stars and....oh yeah...a Center anyway. They have plenty of time to figure it out before the playoffs.

If last year he wasn't injured in Game 7 against LA,Boston would have another banner

I think perk was more important against western conference frontline(lakers,spurs,mavs that all have two or more dangerous big man) that against orlando,because kg can leave some space to bass/anderson and help perk to manage DH(and however perk is one of the player that defend better against DH)

Might have won another banner, I don't think there was any guarantee that they win at Staples.

Of course, if Andrew Bynum was healthy, it might not have gone 7 games.

And if the Grizzlies, hadn't dealt Gasol to the Lakers for a bag of magic beans, then....

What if the Red Sox hadn't dealt Babe Ruth to the Yankees...

What might have been if the Cubs hadn't kicked the man and his goat out of the ballpark...

Thanks for the info on Shaq...
Prior to this season, he's done pretty well on Howard. But I can definitely use that in a different discussion I'm having!

Pau Gasol performance in 2010 Finals
Game 1: 23 points,14 reb 3 assist
Game 2:25 points,8 reb 3 assist
Game 3:13points,10 reb 4 assist
Game 4:21 points,6 reb 3 assist
Game 5:12 points,12 reb 0 assist
Game 6:17 points,13 reb 9 assist
Game 7:19 points,18 reb 4 assist

First 5 game average:18,8 points 10 reb 2.6 assist
Last 2 games(without perkins) 18 points 15,5 reb 6.5 assist (-0.8pts +5,5 reb +3.9 ast)

And if you see boxscores of the games,each game was won by the team with the most rebounds.

Man,I see the difference,do you?

I see your point, I'm just saying the its hardly a guarantee. The Lakers won a couple games against the Celtics earlier in the series when Perkins was playing...so its not inconceivable that they can win a game seven at home.

Perkins miss basically also game 6(he went injured early in game 6 and played only 6 minutes in first quarter),so while it's true that lakers can beat twice boston at home,I would say also that beat twice celtics however it's very difficult,and the fact that gasol had his 1st and 3rd rebounding and 1st and 2nd assist game with perkins out shows that probably in that series perk was a key

Or... likewise: Andrew Bynum. Who was anything but healthy.

Please,stop talikng Bynum
In the key moment of the game,however Jackson would have preferred the Odom-Gasol duo...and however Bynum injuries were known and the same in the series,Perk was healthy the first 5 game and injured in the last two,so it change more for the Celtics than for the lakers

Oh PUH-LEASE!

Perkins. Really? Look, I'm not selling the guy short - but of late people have been acting as if he's the second coming of Wilt.
Bynum is - when healthy - a potential 20/10 guy.
And as you say - he was injured. And as I say, if he were healthy, he impacts the series just as much as Perkins - if not more so.
