What percentage of "WE" needs to say it's over before we can count them as "WE"?


(I need something to distract me from this trade right now)

[RebusRankin]

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

idiot, it was the Chinese (:

Who's with me?

[dang it] I used this last night. Stealer. Haha. We may need to break out some photos of the Karate Kid, Rocky or the Terminator though.

People need a little bit of a wake up here, so I'm going to throw some facts out.  If you agree, hit me with a TP or comment.
1) The year we won, in the Lakers series, Perk averaged 18.2 MPG.  PJ Brown averaged 19.5.  He played MORE than Perk, and Posey averaged 25.166 MPG, playing the most.  We closed out games with Posey at the four the stretch the court and give Rondo room to work with.
2) The Lakers beat us twice by sagging off Rondo, and using Perks man to clog the paint even further and not allow Rondo to get inside.  It killed us, and stagnated out offense.
3) Posey was a career 35.0% 3pt shooter.  Green is younger, taller, more athletic, and shoots 33.8% from the 3pt line.  Seems like an improvemtn to m.
4) Krstic is a much better player than people are giving him credit for.  He's not fantastic, not as good as Perk, but he is a servicable, decently talenented, offensively minded 7-footer.  We can use him.

I love Perk and hate to see him go, but stop bashing this move.  It makes sense short and long term.

Please go look at the one game Perk missed that series.  You know, the only game that Gasol killed the Celtics and the Celtics lost.

Not sure.  Maybe you should try one of those slow clap routines, to see how long it takes to get the whole room clapping in support.

Take a look at the two other series that we lost to the Lakers with Perk there.  He only missed one game (we can throw out the KG-less series if you want) and there is still not promise that this team wins with him in the middle.  We still have plenty of size.

And when he went out of the game before, the Celtics were in the game and the Laker big men had not gone wild yet. 

[toinewalka]

There are the games we wont the first time we played them, and hoe many minutes Perk played.
Game 1: 23
Game 2: 14
Game 4: 13
Game 6: 13
He's a great player, I'll miss him, but this is a completely calculated gamble around a theory that worked in the past.

In that game our biggest players were Sheed and KG right? We weren't tall enough. It's not the same now with Kristic, Shaq, healthier KG, and hopefully someone else. I really don't think it's as difficult to combat Gasol/Bynum as some people try to make you believe. All you need is size. Neither of them are quick or mobile they are just tall.

TP
We will have Shaq, JO, KG, Krstic, and potentially a bought out player that are all 7-feet.  Perk did a great job keeping them from the basket, but they aren't going to kill us as badly as some think.  The forum screams about how soft Gasol and Bynum are when we play them, I don't think that's changed.

Totally. It's amazing how well the Celtics did in that series considering we were undersized. Perkins was vitally important because he was a big tall player that could wrestle with Bynum in the paint. I really like Shaq against Bynum. Bynum is very slow.

  Last year a pretty solid majority said it was over before the playoffs even started. Clearly that wasn't enough.
