Injuries, age, loss of Perk

Did lose tonight, agree with andre about getting old and losing perkins, i say they will be #3 seed in east behind bulls and heat.

KG, Ray, & Paul are playing too many minutes, I think.

[streaky]

Rondo is not the same. He's playing hurt.

[SteakSauce]

There's too many of these games that they give up the lead or play catch up and think they can just turn it on when it counts, I think it's going to catch up to them in the playoffs. Their interior defense isn't the same without Perkins, but I'll reserve my judgement until the O'Neals come back

This will be a problem if they don't fix it before the playoffs. Bulls/Heat would roll them late in a series IMO. They're lacking energy.

[chibob]

I pegged them for 3rd a couple of weeks ago, but the question now is, can they drop to 4th?

Away games where they will have their hands full

Indy, Spurs, Bulls, and Heat, and the way they are playing, Philly at home will be tough.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

They fixed what wasn't broke over $$$ to Perkins..can't say I am not enjoying this

[Romanowski]

wont be a problem at all

not saying they win the east 100% and go to the finals

but this is a veteran group who rise to the occasion

last year they werent the #1 seed nor 2 or 3

the #1 seed means much more to the bulls being inexperienced

I see lakers/celtics or lakers/heat, in that order in the finals
