Perk can’t shoot either. How many shots did he miss right at the rim? All but 1, I think? He also can’t shoot free throws.

[...] Loved this nugget from Darnell Mayberry’s notes: “If Perk is one of the, if not the, league’s best low-post man defender, why is the Thunder still digging down and showing or sending double teams? Thabo Sefolosha sagged off of Gordon Hayward and showed just enough on Al Jefferson early in the first period for Hayward to drill a 3-pointer when Big Al kicked it out. Here’s what Perk told me after the game when I asked about that tactic. “We told him not to,” Perkins said. “He just did it on his own. That’s just being defensive minded. We’re going to do it as a whole. At the end of the day, you’ve got to show help for everybody. I actually like that he was digging. I’m used to being on an island by myself all the time.” That answer by Perk is nothing but interesting. So interesting I had to give the reason it’s own bullet. Think about it, the Thunder is so used to having to help on the post that its become second nature. Perk might like it, but it’s a part of what’s been killing this team. It might take some time for the perimeter players to figure out they don’t have to help nearly as much, especially with Serge Ibaka providing weak side shot-blocking. [...]

If Perk is such a beast as a low post defender then Jefferson must be the 2nd coming of Wilt Chamberlain. He lit us up and was the only reason the game was as close as it was. Jazz couldn’t hit anything from outside.

BTW Darnell, thanks for asking about Hayward being wide open for that three and Perk getting help on Jefferson. I had the same questions during the game and I appreciate seeing an answer the next day here at NewsOK.

I can’t explain the exact ” how to’s ” of Quick Change , but when the act begins the lady is much larger from several layers of clothing, than she is at the end.

But still, some of that is amazing and I don’t know how she does that so fast, especially when they drop the confetti around her and her dress changes ……….. wow !
