headsup (Perk out tomorrow)

[Who]

Nate Robinson has brought one thing to this team... a crippling flu.

Hopefully since he has now had a few practices he can come in and bring that "microwave" scoring mentality off the bench.

I'm worried about Nate Robinson. It looks like he's repeating the same mistakes Stephon Marbury made. Forgetting who he is as a player and sacrificing himself in order to give the team a true floor general when instead they need an aggressive scorer.

Agreed, Nate has only played a few games though so it could just be that he's learning the system. If he keeps doing it KG or Perk just need to shake him until he shoots more shots.

Say what you want about Eddie but passing up shots was never one of his shortcomings.

Perfect -- we already have a built-in excuse if they lose tomorrow night. Although Perk has basically been bringing nothing to the table in the past several weeks.

ha!

good to hear from ya ricky.

we could all use a little humor

Sheed and baby can get a few more minutes to try to play their lazy selves into some kind of shape..

Perk has not been "beastly" lately.

I expect Sheed to dominate his former team and go for 20+ and 10...

20+ 3 point attempts and 10 uncontested layups?

BBD has not played smart, but he is anything but lazy IMO. He hustles his butt off on the court.

[Drucci]

We really can't catch a break... when Pierce comes back, Perk is out. [dang].

At least the flu is still "better" than an injury so I will take that but I hope we will finally have all our players healthy by Wednesday against Charlotte.

KG sounded sick Saturday in the postgame pc...like he is fighting a bad cold.

Lazy in terms of general conditioning and amount of minutes he can give us that hustle for

He's seemed far less gunshy than the Celtics Steph to me.  I think playing so many minutes with Rondo as the ballhandler is making him look more passive.

Perk has made Samual Dalembert look like the second coming of bill russel the last few weeks.

I agree Nate hasn't been as bad as Steph but still a very long way from his normal self. He's restrained his own game. Limiting his best talents.

It's still early so hopefully things turn around ... but an unwelcome + worrying start.

I see the media just saying he is sick, but I worry that he may be suffering from plantar fasciitis again.  The last time it took a lot of CBlog complaining about Perk before anyone knew he was contending with that too.
