I would give Perk the next 10 days off.  He has no lift at all.  At this point I rather see him resting and give the minutes to Sheed as well as work in Sheldon.

Lately Perk has 'finally' been making points again, but still does not have that lift he had before. Heck, maybe rest is what he needs. Doesn't he have tendinitis or something like that? When he's healthy, he plays pretty incredible.

How much rest is going to make a significant difference at this point?

Probably can't hurt to limit his minutes the rest of the way.

Playing tired/hurt only increases the risk of greater injury. And that's our biggest fear over the next two weeks.

i would not mind doc resting a lot of the starters at this point. i am too lazy to figure out the "final standings/win-loss rest of season/favorable matchups" for the celtics.

however, i think the playoffs are everything now. the celtics can beat anyone on the road....if they play their best. to play their best it may be necessary for doc to rest the starting five.

Yup - with the CLE game over, and Bogut out for the two Bucks games - good time to either limit guys who need to be limited (e.g. Perk, possibly PP) and push guys who need more minutes to build stamina (IMO - KG).

Perk looked pretty good to me tonight. Either way we need to get some momentum and continuity going. Perkins needs to be out there unless his injury is worse than he's letting on.

Maybe give him a full game off once our seeding is set, but limiting his minutes won't do much at this point.

Everyone wants to rest the starting 5, but I think part of the problem has been that they have not played together all year, and are finally getting to be a cohesive unit again.  And I think the bench needs to get used to the new "rotations?"  if, indeed they are the new rotations.  We are finally starting to gel.

The last time perk played 35 minutes was January 20th.
