Only thing he's good for is Shaqtin a fool. It is consistently baffling how Perkins still gets minutes on an NBA team. | ||

Perkins is a relic of a past era, where you needed a big guy in the middle to bang with other big guys. The only guys who bang down low now are Dwight (even though stats say he shouldn't), Bynum (with his glass knees), and Brook Lopez (even though he likes the mid-ranger these days). His one use now is setting illegal picks and rarely getting called. | ||

If you said, at any point last year, "I think Davis is probably still a better player than Lillard" you would get hugest earfull. Seahawks fans are pretty fucking awful. I'll stand by Jerubaal's statement. | ||

Every team has their share of horrible fans so I don't see the big deal. Saying Blazer fans are the worst is just uncalled for. | ||

Still don't know what is so different this year compared to last year, other than Robin Lopez, which can't possibly account for the amazing jump in performance. Shooting 41% from 3.

His one use now is setting illegal picks and rarely getting called. I don't know if I agree with this. I think the state of low post players and rebounding battles is the best it's been in years. Even tonight with LMA, although he loves his midrange jumpers, he is getting a lot of post points and abusing them on the glass. I think Perkins is just flat out bad. A skilled guy to bang in the post with other big guys would be hugely valuable in the West, if he were actually good. Davis, LMA, Z-Bo, Bogut, Cousins, etc. | ||

His defense has slipped terribly, and his offense is so bad that its 4v5 (actually worse, because you can accidentally pass to him). | ||

Davis, LMA, Z-Bo, Bogut, Cousins, etc. And some guy who scored 35 points in game 6 of the Finals last year. My question for the Portland doubters is is there something about their play this year that you don't like or do you just expect their numbers to go back to what they were last year? Again, I think saying they could get to the WCF is a stretch, but anything up to that seems in the realm of possibility. | ||

![[image loading]](http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1890145/perkins.gif) Edit: I was saying Perkins only matches up against a backdown post player. These days they barely exist. Steven Adams is who you need for Duncan, AD, whoever else that likes the mid-ranger. | ||
