WEEI Boston: Severe PCL strain

[Killakobe81]

It's not a huge deal if their other bigs stay out of foul trouble..Perkins hasn't been a big factor in this series..their rebounding will suffer, but their offense will be a lot better with Wallace in the game..Perkins' offense is just terrible..

The problem will be if they get into foul trouble..Shelden Williams is one of the worst players in the NBA, and he's proven it during this series, so they pretty much forfeit if he has to log in anything more than 1 minute..

Rasheed will have to be big here, this is what they brought him in for..I actually like seeing Wallace in the game a lot more than Perkins, he actually gives LA somebody to guard..when Rondo and Perkins are in together, LA is focusing more on the other 3..with 'Sheed in there, they at least have to come out on his 3-point attempts, and even his mid-range Js..they also don't lose that much defensively IMO..

I also like seeing 'Sheed in there, because I'm assuming they go with Tony Allen more in game 7(I really hope they do), so it will help if Wallace is out there to space the floor..when they throw out a backcourt of Allen-Allen-Pierce, 'Sheed has to be out there..

Lakers are 70-30 favorites for game 7 IMO, but Perkins being out doesn't really change anything for me..

Solid analysis and Sheed actually has better footwork on post defense and a longer wingspan than Perk.

BUT you miss Perk leaning and wearing down gasol with his size ...

It does not clinch ANYTHING for the Lakers but I think you guys are underestimating his value much like Folks do with Bynum.

I also think the "slumlord" sucks ass his wife has more game his daughter will soon ...

[Killakobe81]

I agree..their season depends on Wallace, Rondo and Allen IMO..those are the 3 guys I would be worrying about if I'm Boston..

I hope you are right ... no way a team relying on a PG that is 4-15 from the line this eries should win a le ....

Best PG in the NBA my ass ...

Anyone talking that should write an apology letter to Paul and Dwill ...

[Ghazi]

Rondo > Paul

[Killakobe81]

Rondo > Paul

Maybe if Paul doesnt recover 100% ...

Tony Parker was on Dan Patrick's show his ranking was:
1. Paul (though he said Dwill was close)
2. Williams
3. Nash
4. Himself
5. Billups

(he didnt give an order after Dwill but those are the names he said)

He said Rondo was 6th .... LOL

[namlook]

Rondo > Paul

No. Rondo is too inconsistent. Paul brings it more often.

I could see Rondo at the #4 spot behind Paul, Williams and Nash.

Rondo has definitely received some serious hype over these playoffs..Thursday's game will be huge for his career..I don't think he's on the Paul/Williams tier, but I think he could come close to their tier if he has a big game in game 7..

He was absolutely pathetic tonight..passing up open shots without even waiting for the D to react to him, leading to his bigs catching it outside..passing too early, especially in transition..too many nonchalant passes..

He desperately needs to redeem himself..

[[[As much as he might be able to take advantage of a Perkins-less Boston team Thursday, Bynum is rooting for his rival.
"It's unfortunate what happened to him," Bynum said. "I know where he's at right now. I wish him the best, I hope he's able to play."]]]
That's our Bynum.

another point missed here:
Perk is their best screener even if he does move sometimes when he does it

Ray and PP will miss him on the wing and baseline screens ...

Perk is their best screener even if he does move sometimes when he does it

sometimes?

[Muser]

Can he see his way clear to not post under his other troll names for 24 hours? If so, then maybe.

I'm guessing the OP of this thread is luvas troll?

No. You're guessing wrong.
