reaction in the Celtics locker room
The Celtics players were surprised at the news of the transfer of Perkins.

contradictions "Doc" Rivers
Celtics coach, Doc Rivers is trying to play down the significance of the transfer of Perkins and has sought to justify the signing of Jeff Green compared James Posey, decisive player in the Finals of 2008, in which the Celtics beat the Lakers: "We had to play four Posey (power forward) and Kevin five ( pivot). This - referring to the signing of Jeff Green - gives us the opportunity to play the way we did when we won the title ".These words seem to look at all calm down the fans of Boston. Do not forget that in the summer of 2010, the Celtics coach largely blamed the defeat of his team in the Finals against the Lakers in the absence of Perkins in the seventh game: "They still have not beaten our lineup. Our starting lineup against the Lakers' starting five has a ring. We will come back strong and Perk - Kendrick Perkins - will be there next year if a seventh game. "
defensive factor Perkins
The Celtics' main rivals in the struggle for the ring can rejoice in the decision in Boston. Nba.com analyst John Schuhmann explains: "Perkins was the guy in charge of defending Dwight Howard one-on-one, allowing other Celtics could stay glued to the perimeter shooters Magic. And with Kevin Garnett, Perkins helped neutralize the advantage of size that Los Angeles Lakers were on the other teams in the league. Now, he will be doing the same for the Oklahoma City Thunder. "Although, for the remainder of the regular season, the signings of Green and Krstic will be serving Boston to keep the best record in the Eastern Conference, these two players do not seem able to fill the gap left by Perkins in the face of eliminator title: Orlando Magic, Dwight Howard, Chicago Bulls, Joakim Noah and with Carlos Boozer, San Antonio Spurs, Tim Duncan and DeJuan Blair, and of course, the Lakers, with Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol, will now be more difficult opponents beat for the Boston Celtics. Kevin Garnett can happen in playoff Gasol what happened in the early season when Bynum's injury meant I had to take a continuing excess liability and minutes.
Care
Oklahoma City Thunder Kevin Durant's team, and Russell Westbrook, who got into trouble and the Lakers in the playoffs last season, becomes a more dangerous rival. The strength have become defensive in the paint with the arrival of Perkins will serve to counteract a poor interior offensive background.Between Durant (28.5 points) and Westbrook (22.0) scored nearly half of the points of the Thunder, which remains relevant to the fact that Perkins is not a scoring power forward, nor was Krstic. With the advent of Perkins, Oklahoma becomes a more formidable set , especially for teams with a powerful inside game as the Lakers and Spurs .
Far from the lights of the Big Apple, there has been a movement that can be decisive for the playoffs this year. The Celtics, unwittingly, may have paved the way to the ring the Miami Heat , the Chicago Bulls or Dallas Mavericks , the three teams that, in this flurry of signings in February, appears to have been better off without his move.
