Rose: With Perkins Gone, We Know We Can Beat the Celtics

[Dunn]

I'm glad Rose said that because this makes not needing another Krstic and Baby Post in my opinion. I really don't know what Danny will do about these two players but they've been extremely weak and proved it in that Chicago game. Anybody thinking Thibs isn't telling Rose to attack Baby/Nenad in the paint is narrow minded. Krstic isn't helping either. This is why Perk's name is recycled plenty. Jermaine didn't rebound but he was great defensively, exactly what it takes to erase a deficit, then take the lead. Yeah keep thinking it's a Perk mind screw but it's really tells all about Baby and Krstic's toughness.

1.) Perk had absolutely NOTHING to do with our success before the All-Star break. A good combo of Shaq and the starters playing like they gave a crap were responsible for our steamroll start.

2.) Shaq and Jermaine will provide the physicality in the playoffs that Baby and Nenad can't.

I know Perk means nothing to C's future but I disagree with all the Rondo garbage when we clearly saw a difference in bigs to his game and that of any good point guard. This is why Rondo probably felt worst about the move, and I'm upset the blame isn't being directed when it seems so obvious. It isn't fair to not just him but the big three.

Is it me or is Earl Barron not qualified to provide a some lift with his skills? When are playoff rosters set?
