Your biggest concern going forward?

[BudweiserCeltic]

So far  it seem anonymous that health is the biggest concern. Considering that the trade made us considerably healthier, I don't know why it's not getting more support.

After tonight's game against Utah, I think I rest my case with Big Baby. Not only is he playing bad, he's hurting us with his bad play.

Sure, but anonymous is cooler.

Health.

Our late game offensive droughts.

Defense in the paint.

After tonight, it is clear that they badly, badly need an inside defensive presence.  Big Al would be in the hall of fame if he played against this lineup every night. Shaq or JO are badly needed.

I agree with this 100%...Our interior D tonight was horrible...
Looking forward to seeing Shaq back in uniform.

The price of gas/oil. Paying the mortgage. The wars. Union busting. The killing of protesters in Libya. Not necessarily in that order.

Tommy Point for the understated sarcasm, while still addressing actual problems we face as human beings.

[BudweiserCeltic]

I'm not too sure our bigs would've been of much help. We've always had problems with Utah's athletic forwards be it Millsap or Boozer and Jefferson also gives us some problem when he plays against us (last meeting was an anomaly).

Players like that are the ones that most often gives us trouble. It reminds me of Maxiel in Detroit who seemed to play his best games against us. Thankfully he fell out of the rotation.

So while a Perk/Shaq/JO would have been nice to have, we could still find ourselves in trouble against them.

What I would've liked to see, was using Green more as a PF against these guys and see how it went. He's longer than Baby, and that should help.

Health, especially of JO, Shaq and Delonte is my biggest concern. Without at least 2/3 it's gonna be a climb up hill.

Troy Murphy's decision; a lot's riding on that. We need him pretty bad for depth.

Getting Jeff Green used to the offense and finding a definitive role for him. He hasn't played great so far, probably because he isn't comfortable yet. We gotta find a way to get him going, otherwise it'll be a waste.

1. health
2. even if they're healthy, their effectiveness.  shaq has played very well at times this season, and at times he hasn't at all.  can he ball consistently in the playoffs? 

3 chemistry.  kind of surprised nobody has mentioned it.  we've got, what, 22 games left?  i know perk missed most of the season, but i'm not convinced his absence isn't going to often be on their mind. 

[Bahku]

Health ... period. If they're healthy, this team can be anyone.

[GreenEnvy]

Obviously health. Other than that, the interior defense, rebounding, and toughness without Perk. But the O'Neal's would help all that if healthy.

Also, Doc has get this team over the shocking departure of Perk and focused for the stretch run. Once the playoffs start, I don't think it will be a problem, but I don't wanna lose home court over it.
