his negative contributions were pretty much obvious. wasting possessions in the post against Perkins (what was he ? 2-20 for the series or smth ?), playing the worst p'n'r defense in the league, being outright useless as a help defender, ruining spacing, stupid fouls etc. the only things that he did to help his team was putting C's in foul trouble and finishing on dump offs from his teammates... that doesn't make up for his flaws. not even close.
