Offensively of course, he’s another story. He started out fairly well last season creating his own offense. I was confident whenever he would bang his way multiple times and turn over his right shoulder for a turnaround jumper or over his left for a hook. But then defenses started doubling, figuring that while a big man of Perkin’s offensive ability is usually not worthy of doubles, that since he was was so bad passing out of them, it was an effective defensive ploy. That put an end to his offensive game for the most part, as well as the tendinitis. That shouldn’t be overlooked as well.

That’s not it at all. Screaming is stupid gamesmanship to get foul calls. It’s verbal flopping. As much as I love Pierce, he’s guilty of it as well. The worst is Brandon Roy because his voice is so high and come through the speakers like it’s HD audio. He also overdoes it. Some guys just yell on occasion but Roy does it 95 percent of the time. He’s very annoying.
