All signs point to PJ Brown retiring from basketball (though there's always a chance he could show up on someone's roster for another late season run). So this is a good chance for me to give him a virtual hug and wish him happy trails.
PJ was exactly what the Doc ordered in terms of being that veteran, calming presence in the post. He defended about as well as you could ask someone his age to (maybe better). And who could forget that huge shot he made in the Cleveland series. At times when Perkins was out with foul trouble or injury, he was critical to the team's success. There were games that I'm not sure we would have won without PJ.
He was only around for a short time, but he made a real contribution to this team's title. So thank you PJ Brown.
