We have not been healthy all year, what makes the playoffs any different?

If KG hadn't injured his leg we would be 3 time champs right now

We would have made the finals...for sure. Not sure if we would have won the championship in 2009 though...didn't have enough quality bigs or a good backup for PP. But if KG had been healthy last year, we would be gunning for Banner 19 right now.

Yeah, 2009 would have been the tough one, because the Lakers were in top form, and we were the thinnest we've been.  Still, the Magic managed to win one game and sent two others to OT, so we would have had a good shot, I think.

you just got to have a little faith, i believe in the moves of Danny Ainge and the players...

Do I like the trade, no because I love watching Perkins...but if that's what it takes then I won't question it

besides I rather have the players get injured/rest now rather than the playoff time

believe in your team!

We almost got out of the 2nd round in 08-09 when we didn't have KG, and had a much worse roster.

Ray Allen
KG (hurt)
BBD
Rondo
Pierce
Tony Allen
Eddie House
JR Giddens
Powe
Perk
Scal
Patrick O'Bryant

Two things:

1.  We didn't get out of the second round, though; and

2.  The league is better now than it was in '09.  There are at least seven championship caliber teams now; back then there were maybe four.

I was going to say i agree that the league is much harder so you can't make that comparison.
But there is no way there are 7 championship caliber teams this year.
There might be 5 if you're stretching it:
celtics
lakers
spurs
bulls.

heat,mavs and magic have no chance in hell.
bulls only if they get lucky too.
Think about it 100% honestly and realistically all the teams that would survive a 7 game series vs the spurs,celtics or lakers...maybe the bulls.
