I was putting this off until there was news about whether or not Perkins would play tonight but of course there is absolutely nothing on the subject.

Looks like Lewis is out and looks like Howard will play.

Wizards have played like crap the last 10 games going 1-9 so this should be an easy win. Of course, for us, it never seems to play out that way.

There also isn't any news on Collison's ankle or whether he'll play or not. If both Collison and Perkins are out today we'll only have Nazr, Ibaka, and Aldrich in our frontcourt.

I'll update if I hear any news before I go to work tonight

Wizards have been awful but they took us to OT last time at home so you never know.

Kendrick Perkins will be in the starting lineup tonight.

Can't wait to see Perk back.

The starting offense might really suck but hopefully Perkins changes the way they can play defense. If we still see over helping on the perimeter and such it'll be disappointing.

Nice, Perk will help us a lot. He's outrebounding Wizards.

I can't find any streaming...

Perkins goes back to the locker room already.

No idea. He just went out of the game and then they showed him walking to the locker room.

Post #11 » by **slick_watts** » Mon Mar 14, 2011 11:33 pm

He's back on the bench.

I thought he looked pretty good for his first game back.

Yeah I really liked that first play, when he bodied up McGee, moved with him, and made him take a horrible shot.

Relax, Thunder heads. I’m told Perkins had to potty. He’s back on the bench now.

:lol:

That overactive bladder is the real reason Ainge wanted to get rid of him.

That play with Perkins bodying up McGee and Ibaka coming off the weak side to swat it is what we've been waiting for.

Can one of you fine Gents please give me a run down on how Perk has played. I cant see the game

Westbrook taught Wall one or two things this end of quarter.

Pretty good for a first game back. He's played good defense, rebounded (7 in 11 minutes), got garbage buckets (2 of them), and even has 2 assists. Setting good screens.

He does look notably slower than our other bigs, which might be partially the injury but probably is more just how he is.
