Older players do wear down but its generally a gradual thing. A team like Boston doesn't just get old after the trade deadline.
Also, in the one game against Miami with Perkins, Miami had two baskets in the paint the entire second half. Hmmmmmmmm. Maybe Boston was old before halftime, found Ponce de leon's great great great great great grandson in st pete, and came back in the second half 10 years younger.

Those comments were meant for Pierce, not Green.
You are basing your entire flimsy (at best) argument on how Miami (team with virtually no low post threats) in one particular game had few inside points?
Again since most of Boston's 1st half wins came without Perkins, why are you blaming the 2nd half losses on him? Especially considering that there were 2 or 3 games that Boston pretty obviously lost because they were resting players and playing Troy Murphy and Sasha Pavolic in the 4th quarter of tight games . So if they went 19-9 or 20-8 by simply trying to beat the Wizards or Nets or Rockets what would you be saying?
