The only time Perk got the ball was when their was a horrible breakdown on the Cavs defense, transition, or an offensive rebound. And you know what? Perk scored around the same number of points, and he -- and the team -- had one of our fewest turnover games of the season. We seem to do just fine with 4 on 5 and Perk being opportunistic. @DRJ1 and Jay P and Cptn Bubbles — generally agree with you all but I just want to point out that removing Perk from the offense was exactly what we did in the final game against the Cavs. We did not run a single play for Perk the entire game.

Didn't mean he can't touch the ball at all... just don't pass it to him with the intention of having him score, unless he's ready to immediately shoot or dunk. Gotta keep it simple for him. Perk often gets a pass where his job is to simply pass the ball to the next guy. He has no problem doing that. But like I said... if he has to dribble or think, we're in trouble... unless he changes... but I don't think he will... this has been going on for a while. @Jay P– Agree.

They need him as a screen in a number of different situations, back screens to try and free Ray curling along the baseline. You also need him the pop out and bring Howard out of paint, giving opportunities for guys to cut into the lanes or curl to the hoop. This is the NBA, you can't just pull one guy out of your offensive sets completely and run 4 v 5. Perk just has to do a better job keeping his footwork solid and not being pressured off his spot. @DRJ1
