No perkins... what does it mean

Gold. Thought so Big Marty...ha ha. Going to stay unofficial as 5 still.

I do think the Celtics played game 6 knowing that they had a game in hand. Obviously they did not want to lose the game, but I think mentally they just were not switched on like they should have been. Game 7 will be totally different IMO.

Perkins is a huge loss no matter what his stats are.
He takes up a substantial part of the paint, allowing KG and Pierce to gamble a lot more than normal on defense. Add to this, he can score, he can rebound, and he does allow Davis to then come off the bench and add a major energy boost. Davis starting, does not have the same influence IMO.

On the flip side, this means now you need to start Wallace. This could be the make or break for the Celtics. Which Wallace will show up?
The potential game breaker that the Celtics went looking for last off season for this exact scenario?
Or the out there, crazy guy that is talented, however can be a game loser with his antics and attitude?

I am still going the Celtics. By 5.

Defensively, Celtics did ok after Perkins went down. It was their lack of running an offence and poor shot selection that led to their loss in game 6. Pick that up and it will make a big difference.

Imagine Scalabrine being the difference between winning and losing an NBA championship? I'm sure the Lakers faithful would not be very impressed ;)

Don't forget Scalabrine, he could be the chosen one.....

It means the rest of the Celtics need to step it up big time, and;

- Garnett, Wallace and Davis need to stay out of foul trouble early, and effectively defend Gasol and Odom
- Have big scoring games from Allen, Pierce and Rondo
- The Celtics need points off the bench
- Everyone to hit the glass
