Re: The Official BOSTON CELTICS Season Thread
So far Perkins has taken the likes of Eddy Curry and Bosh etc. KG has been the help out defense and as usual with him they try to take him out of the key etc. The Celts have so far held most teams to a low FG% inside and its hard to point out if its just KG or the whole effort of Perk, KG, Powe etc etc. Its only pre season and most of the defensive pressure is from those fighting for court time, roster spots etc. The main effect so far has just been him changing shots and hence the lower fg% of others compared to ours. Good D isn't always spectacular.
I can actually see KG getting a few tripple doubles this season for us. Over his career he has been a 20/10 guy every season and 4-5 ast's to boot. Now with more around him thats only a few more passes to open guys and he has it. I'd still like to see Doc start to implement some sort of zone defenses as well to mix it up especially with the second unit when KG is out there with them. Him patrolling the back line of a 1-3-1 zone would provide some great shot blocking IMO.
