Knicks · OT: Perkins has worst PER on record in playoffs (page 1)

Rookie @ 5/16/2013 2:36 PM
maybe OKC should have kept Green and Harden....just maybe. Watching Durant trying to do everything...and failing should be a loud message to the Knicks...they will need to trust each other play team ball to advance. It is not time for hero ball.


Kendrick Perkins finished the 2013 NBA Playoffs with a PER of -0.7, which is the worst on record for a player with 200 or more minutes.

Perkins had 24 turnovers, 24 points, 39 fouls, five blocks and a plus/minus of -40 in the playoffs.

Perkins was acquired by the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2011 in a trade involving Jeff Green.

Yikes. Worst ever? Historically bad. I think he's a decent center but has obviously regressed since his time in Boston.

Yea, in hindsight that trade for Perkins looks terrible.

OKC could've used someone like Green in this series.

Perk not help them last season get to the finals while Green was getting open heart surgery?

Wasn't it redundant to have Harden and Green?

Did anyone expect Harden to really be a max player the year before last?

Did anyone know the CBA would be?

Do you build knowing Westbrook gets hurt?

You guys are really smart!

Not really. I was lurking on a Boston site and read a couple of posts saying he was terrible there too but, KG was able to mask most of his deficiencies.

That may be true. I liked the long term prospects for the trade at the time it was made, for Boston. But, on the flipside, I think not playing with Perkins has hurt KG's longevity a bit since he's having to play the 5 and go up against stronger guys now.

Perkins was terrible in the Finals last year. And I don't know what the CBA has to do with anything.

The injury really hurt Perkins I think.

I wonder how Gortat would work in Okc with Ibaka?
