can't say for sure why he is doing much worse converting, but here some thoughts:
Perk regressed somehow. Not sure how though considering that in Boston, he took 3 seconds to wind up for a simple lay up. Perk blew quite a bit of freebies because the defense recovered. He looks much lighter in OKC.
The Celtics had a better suited offense for Perk. Celtics had a very pass oriented offense along with 4 great passers in the Big 4. To couple with that, they had great spacing considering Rondo and Pierce were the other two who entered the paint the most and Rondo didn't even score as frequently.

Wow. It's like you are in my brain thinking the same shit I am.
KD should of had 6 assists a game last year if Perkins didn't blow so much.
Scott Brooks is holding this team back way too much. This is becoming less the fault of Porkins and more the fault of Brooks trotting this garbage out on the floor every game. This shit has gone on for 2 years now and he's still starting when we have a young, talented rookie playing much better.
Just retarded. You don't start a guy only good at low post defense and shit at everything else. There are only like 4-5 true post players in the NBA today regardless. Just retarded

Re: Good news for the Perkins haters..
And there was I, thinking that OKC blew it by not picking Olynyk. If Adams really becomes all that he could be, Presti will go down in legend for his picking skills.

with God-given ass
Re: Good news for the Perkins haters..
I didn't like the Adams pick much either. Then you look at Durant, Ibaka, Westbrook, Harden, and Reggie Jackson... Literally every player they have taken for THEIR team other than PJ3 has contributed in a big way to since the Durant class. Unless basketball reference is off, since I'm using that as my guide. Either way that's impressive scouting.
Of course, maybe Jones doesn't pan out and that's the start of a new pattern of bust picks. All things come to an end.

6 points, 10 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 blocks in the 3rd quarter...
Is there anymore doubt, that this guy should be starting? last game he had 15 rebounds as well...

If he had played the 4th he probably flirts with another double-double. Don't know if he would've gotten 10 points but he might've ended up with 12+ rebounds.

That's before he tore his MCL and PCL ligaments in his right knee. He was never the same guy after that injury.

Didn't OKC trade up to a higher draft pick to get Adams? Some smart talent scouts in the OKC organisation...
Who knows, but his game does translate to double/doubles with starter minutes.
He can do everything Perkins can pretty much and more...Good hands for a big guy and very mobile...

I get superstar calls
Re: Good news for the Perkins haters..
I don't know where this "low post defender" rep is still coming from. He used to be decent on guys like Howard and Bynum just bodying them up and giving the help D the extra second to get there, but ever since he's dropped weight he can't even do that anymore. And he didn't even get any more mobile

well well well
Re: Good news for the Perkins haters..
perkins makes dwight howard look like a decent offensive option
