Is there any doubt that Perkins was our MVP?

[angryguy77]

The loss of this guy has turned this team into a lottery team, since his departure we are comparable to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

We knew he brought more then stats to this team, but wow, I never realized he brought THIS much. He pretty much made this team what it was. He was our LeBron.

I never knew it but now its obvious.

Kendrick Perkins was our best and most important player. His presence alone wether on the court or on the bench propelled this team. He was our core, without him we are nothing.

Without him, we cant even beat the worst teams in the league.

I hope we somehow turn this ship around but I have no idea who is going to carry us to victory since Perkins isnt around.

Can you please remind me what our record was while he was recovering from that knee injury? Surely it must have been putrid, since, well, our MVP was out.

While providing that, could you also look up how we did when KG missed the playoffs.

Nothing like a little tongue and cheek OP. I like it.

The same was said when KG was hurt.  Also when Rondo got hurt.  At least it's partially true with KG.

If Perk actually played for the C's this year the argument might hold some weight.  The fact that the C's held top seed in the east for the majority of this year WITHOUT Perk only proves the opposite; that Perk was just a role player and not a core player.  Even the last guy picked in the NBA draft (Semih) could fill in (not saying he could fill his shoes but the point is we didn't need anything special from this position given the strength of the rest of the team).
