say we play heat in the playoffs

with perkins gone who will guard our paint against lebron and wade?

We won twice against Miami with Shaq as our starting center. Honestly the biggest worry against the Heat is on the wing defenders and Ray and Paul are doing an excellent job on both Wade and LeBron. Green needs to play average or good minutes of defense on LeBron and we will be OK. I'm not worried about Miami honestly and Perk's departure doesn't change that.

what we will lack in PnR defense with perkins we could gain at the perimeter defense by green,who could finsih games maybe instead of BBD ? he could be thrown at lebron and help in scoring as well.

Our bigs defending isn't the major issue with the heat.  We need our bigs to pound the ball inside on offense (not perks strong pt).  PP would be guarding lebron going toe to toe on offense and defense.  Paul usually does a good job at this but it wears him down...cuz he's older.  We just added a future starter, Jeff Green, 6'9" athletic guy who can play 2 posistions.  See Shane Battier but younger with a higher ceiling.  I think Danny must have said we have the best record without much of perk this season, we need wings to help cover lebron, kobe, odom, insert most chicago names.  I think Chicago might be the main concern, we just got more athletic and younger.  Prior to trade we were going into the playoffs with von wafer as backup sf people!

Let LeBron shoot them out of play.  Did anyone see his clutch three with the Bulls last night where he didn't even draw iron.   He is not that good if you look past his heady stats.   I think if we are close with them we will pull it out even if we had Kristic playing center.
