Ibaka is a terrible one on one defender
Perkins doesn't rebound well, very limited both offensively and defensively, just plain sucks. Ibaka can block shots and hit the J when open but he's has a very low IQ. Both have no post game and both known for their defense but don't actually bring much to the table in terms of defense.
Did anyone overrate them to begin with? Monkeyballer+fake tough guy+ dirty hustle player..
Someone on another fourm said these 2 were better than Marc Gasol and Garbage man Zach lol![]()
Perk shouldn't even play against Miami. I'm not sure they're overrated because I don't know who really ranks them all tht high. It's not like they are all star caliber players. Perkins has value defending. He has value guarding bigs like Duncan and Gasol. OKC would be in a little trouble against some teams without Perk. Ibaka has value. He's a very solid PF. Overrated? No. The duo as a front court is better than average. They have limitations though.
They have a front court? There's a reason a team with a somewhat weak front court (The Heat) destroyed a team with no front court (the Thunder) Perkins is a s of what he was in Boston. The Thunder are nothing but jump shooters
You can't be serious. A Memphis fan especially is the last person I would expect to hear that from. Jeff Green is a mediocre SF who started at PF for OKC and couldn't grab a rebound to save his life. His interior presence was completely non existent. Nenad hit 17 footers and literally did almost nothin else.
@ OKC playn Green @ PF
Perkins is a good post defender but lousy paint protector. Ibaka, on the flipside, is a good paint protector but a lousy post defender
Leave it to Heat fan to provide some of the tiest realgm-esque takes on the internet.
perkins has been underrated imho. dude gives you quite a presence in the paint and clogs up the lane which would otherwise allow slashers to cut in.
Lol "of all time", then everyone mentions teams from this year .
Perkins / Ibaka / Collison / Durant is a very solid front court.
Perkins makes more than Blair and Bonner combined.
The only real value Perk ever had was for his defense on Dewey Howard, tbh. Otherwise he's an oafish foul machine.
Ibaka is a ty one on one defender who constantly finds himself out of position going after every block. Perkins is useless against most the league and not close to worth his salary. OKC doesn't have one post threat and their only frontcourt player worth a damn is Durant.
Not one post threat and 5pts/6rbs at 8 mil a year![]()
Jerry with the dagger to thunderup's heart.
stupid comment...they said overrated...who the overrates them?
Jerry with the goods
could have just amnestied Perkins so they could keep Harden and Ibaka
$8,000,000 a year for elite post defense when the NBA doesn't have any elite post scorers
Ibaka has gotten productive enough offensive where I like him, but Perkins gets more useless every year given the direction the NBA is headed. Big men who are nothing but huge bodies with horrible hands and coordination so they can't do anything on offense are a thing of the past. Only reason they would have been useful this year is if the Lakers were good.
Overrating Presti
Building a team the right way
Still starting Perkins
