All series long Thunder coach Scott Brooks has been taking flack for his handling of the Thunder rotations — sitting Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook at the same time, leaving guys with hot hands on the bench, not seeming to have a feel for his team.

It’s not just you and me, Kendrick Perkins feels the same way, too.

“I just don’t understand why we start out the first quarter the way we did with the lineup we had, and all of a sudden we change and adjust to what they had going on,” a clearly frustrated Perkins said in the Thunder locker room after the game. “So they won the last three quarters and that’s what happened…

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

Perkins, like all the Thunder players, had a very dejected body language after the game but spoke the words of a team not giving up.

Perk wishing he had doc coaching him right now. Hopefully he gets amnestied and signs back with the c's for 5 mil

I would more than welcome a Perkins return and I would think he would give Boston a nice friendly discount on his return.

I love Perk, but he shouldn't be calling out his coach like that after a tough loss.  He was supposed to take Ubuntu with him to OKC.

OKC is no happier with Perkins than he is with them.

Greed is an ugly thing.

Amen brother.

But it's also what has driven mankind this far.

Double edged sword.

Where does greed fit in here?  Perkins took a likely below market value deal to resign with them.  Had he been greedy, he would have played out the season, hit free agency, and taken top dollar, probably on a losing team.

He didn't.  He has taken the idea of being a veteran leader a little too seriously.  Quite honestly I think he THINKS he is playing mindgames with this stuff and motivating his teammates, but he is really just coming accross as an idiot IMO.

greed?  Really?

You'd object to a player getting what the market is paying for his services?  I have little doubt you'd turn down that kind of money if it was offered to you because you didn't think you were worth it

If you are going to post petty nonsense like that on a fan forum, which presumably is not your vocation, nobody is going to take you seriously here either.

Get over yourself.  Dis ain't the joint to be gettin' up in folks 'bout grammar and spelling . . . yo.

Not a cool move.

You should never air out your frustrations to the media.

Hopefully he left that meaningless idiotic word behind.

Perk should have kept his comments to himself or voiced them to Brooks.
