We supposedly needed Perkins against teams like Memphis, but did fine without him. Tonight might be a different story. We'll see how Adams does. He is the kind of player that bothers Howard, but he will have to stay out of foul trouble. Perkins is Howard's kryptonite.

Yeah agree that Sefalosha is a bigger loss but the point was that missing 2 starters disrupts the all the lineups, the second team as well. Guys are forced into different roles and asked to play different minutes. They will adjust but it might take a few games but the Skip Bayless types want to make every game a referendum. And you are right about the foul trouble with Adams. Still a no respect from the refs rookie. Shouldnt matter but it still seems to.
I was thinking this am that OKC might be better off in 2nd seed and playing Dallas in 1st round. They'd still have home court over anyone except SA and the way the West is there are no guarantees the 1 and 2 seeds are going to advance to WC finals like the East
