Quote from: .:DaYg0sTyLz:. on February 27, 2011, 10:18:00 AMlol One less contender The Celtics would need Perkins to match up against teams with a big front court, like the Lakers.What many people think the trade means, is that the Celtics arent preparing for the Lakers. They are preparing for the Spurs. They will need players who can get to the perimeter and defend three point shooters. Not just bigmen to guard the paint.last I checked Boston still has:Rajon Rondo: the best passer AND defender among the NBA's talented crop of point guards. also the best play maker. yes I know he can't make free throws but his shooting is getting better.Ray Allen: the best 3 point shooter in NBA history and is at his BEST at that particular catagory this yearPaul Pierce: a guy who can go for 30 on any given nightKevin Garnett: Pau Gasol still fears this manShaq: He'll be on his game in the playoffs...for 20-30 minutes max ofcourse.Big Baby Davis: the most experienced bench player we've had all these years.if you wanna under-estimate this year I feel bad for you sir.

I can see the Bulls beating Miami in a 7 games series but not Boston , they need a little more playoffs experience as a team imo ... Boston is likely to sign Murphy, can stretch the floor with his shooting , a good rebounder but a horrible defender ...

with green they got a better match up against the other opponent that they'll face in the finals, the spurs.

Bynum was out in 2008.excuse me, Bynum was garbage that year. would his 5 points and 5 rebounds REALLY have mattered when Boston was winning by 30 points??

The Celtics matched up BETTER with the Lakers BEFORE trading away Perkins. They would need him against the Laker bigs. Against the Spurs, and yeah the Heat too...they will need more perimeter defenders. They didnt need to change much of anything to beat the Heat IMO though.
