Sit perk down and start bbd and scal

No thank you. Please keep Perkins in the starting lineup, his presence is imperative to the C's overall defense and rebounding, and to slowing down Orlando's best player.

I will agree that Howard gets his points more by being a bull than he does via good post moves.  However, the guy is still a highly efficient player who led his team in scoring.  To say he's not a scorer or that he can't take over a game is, to me, inaccurate.

He can take a game over, just not that often. He is very limited offensively.

I couldn't care less how limited a player is offensively, so long as he produces.  Howard leads his team in scoring and shoots around 60%.  I'd say he's getting the job done.

I mean, Shaq was a limited offensive player, too, right?  We periodically have arguments like this on the blog, and my thought is always the same:  players should be judged by their production, not by how pretty they look.

perk needs to start he is a physical presence. he has pwer baby and scal dont. even tho baby did block howard 1 or 2 times. as the games go on hboward his gonna try and step on us. perk wont allow that

still be nice to see scal start but the truth is perk get more done

you guys are missing the point. BBD wouldn't be a liability against howard on the defensive end (not much more than perkins) but would be a surplus on the offensive end with scal.

Why? Perk is play on top of the key like kg used to but he can't shoot well! DH backs off of him and guys like pierce, allen and rondo can't do nothing cept shoot contested shots all night.

The key is to get howard out of the paint on the offensive end as much as we like to have him off the score sheet on the defensive end. DH howard no doubt is far superior on defense than offense. (let him shoot ft all night long)

Why our perkingless lineup worked late in the game was the our rotation on defense was that much better, on offense passes were quicker and dh had to respect scal and bbd shooting abilities so he couldn't hang around the paint preventing rondo to drive in

howard will do his damage on offense but it won't be much worst on bbd than perk, the most important part is to not have the offensive system get sufficated in addition
