It also has to be noted that if deals aren’t reported by Thursday, 3PM, that doesn’t mean they didn’t/won’t happen, as the deals closest to the deadline are reported very late that day, sometimes even Friday. So if the Celtics don’t have a new player by 3PM, there’s still hope.

Big Man ???

I hope Danny is talking with Charlotte about Mohammed. Then move Perk in a trade. It could help better the package coming back. I can’t take much more of Perk. Ugh!

After watching BBD on the boards last night

I still love his ability to steal rebounds (5 offensive)…..I went to bed after the first half but I still see a team that can do good things…although I admit KG looks spent and if Perk’s “gather” gets any slower you don’t need slow motion repeat to watch his plays on replay….. in the words of Bill Walton “just throw it down big man”

Marquis Daniels looks solid to me. Ray Allen and PP 10-30 combined ….that won’t happen too often.

Bench outplayed the starters …isn’t that good to know it can happen?

sippin the green juice here in Kansas this morning ….hoping for no trades…..

Is it Soup Yet?

The 'Gather'......

Right now Perk’s ‘gather’ is a throwback to when he was playing alongside Big Al — and we were all wondering whether he’d ever make it as a center in the NBA. What’s going on with him?

I love that the board is all...

…out with Perk now. The attention span of some of these Boston fans has hit an all time low of 3 games.

I’m kind of tired of hearing announcers saying, “The other team isn’t going to just lie down for you. You need to keep playing.” Seriously though, for once, can one team just play badly and let the Celtics blow them out. At very least so it’s fun to be on Celticsblog again.

I read in another comment section Celtics fans saying they were NOT looking forward to the Lakers… That the next 3 games the Celtics will get blown out.

Boston, these are your die-hards.

“just throw it down big man”…..

Oh...

…I know how you feel. Sorry. I wasn’t inferring that you thought he should be traded (blasphemy btw), at all. I was just commenting on the general state of other blog comments today. It’s off with perks head day on Celticsblog.

Those Kings were certainly playing some good inside defense last night. It wasn’t helping Perks case.

i’ve been rooting for perk since he was drafted. but i don’t like the player he has developed into. complaining to the refs is one thing, complaining about touches is another. he is at his best when he is concentrating on D. lately he has become enamored with his O, which just isn’t that good.

perk needs to play his role, if he steps out of it his flaws are magnified. fans have a right to be frustrated with his play

artic 3.0

good post …I didn’t know he had complained about his touches? did I miss that? complaining to the refs does not bother me too much.

I do wish Perk had a face up short jumper because he has that open shot so often but because he does not have that shot in his repotoire he then has to turn his back to the basket and post up which has become quite predictable (and slow on some occassions).

Love his work ethic and his fight/spirit……so to me he is a keeper.

when you see Rasheed play in the post these last two games

you really can’t miss just how more varied and effective his repertoire of skills is in creating points within 5 feet of the basket. He has spin moves, feints, fall-aways, hooks, layups, bank shots – the works. And he can bulldoze any defender who doesn’t get his feet set – like last night on both Thomson and Brockman.

Perk is still so young and raw by comparison. I still believe he has a ton of potential – but he still has so much to learn.

Still waiting for some big trades....

Not really with the Celtics, but in general. I thought we might see some of the really big name soon-to-be free agents traded this time around, but so far only Dallas and the imploding Wizards have had the courage to pull off a major deal. I love seeing what teams will do to get better or to shed salary!

As for the Celtics, I’m still hoping for a Ray Allen trade, then a buy-out and he rejoins the team with another strong asset. Oh well, fingers crossed!
