Yes we did thanks to the Big 3 and the bench.

This thread should've been called "have BBD on the floor at the end of games" because I would agree with that...

If Baby would have started we would have probably won by more. Perk should only be used for extended periods against guys like Dwight Howard and Ilgauskas.

Exactly. The dynamics of substitution patterns in basketball tends to be a foreign concept to some. My perception is that the start of the game is primarily to get your main scorers in rhythm and to keep the game in check, defensively, so that you are not falling too far behind and pressing your offense.

To defend Perk to an extent, the turnovers would seem to be more a function of adapting to a new role and new teammates. As his assist/turnover ratio in past seasons was fairly respectable for a center. His hands and finishing should be called into question. But as you allude, it's quite relative to what is going on around him.

Why does it matter how much we win by? Are you serious?

Which way is the wind blowing now on this idea?

Big Baby is still better then Perk so I guess Baby still deserves the start. Preferably both would be backups though.

Glen Davis just needs to play consistently. He's the BEST player the C's have off the bench. Posey needs to play the 3 and Doc needs to allow Pierce to slide to the 2 on occasion. I'm sick of the Posey/BBD front court rotations. It's stupid, it sucks, and it's stupid.

The C's frontcourt rotation is passable as long as KG/Perk/BBD get the majority of the minutes with Pollard, Posey, and Scals being sprinkled in in that order.
