"Amaan: (New Jersey)
Last year, the Thunder in my opinion were lacking that veteran leadership with you in the picture for a whole season, this team is at a whole new level. The Thunder are the most dangerous team in the NBA. Who do you think will challenge you the most?
Kendrick Perkins: (5:08 PM)
You always have to be careful of the young and upcoming teams. The Portland Trail Blazers. You also have to keep a close eye on the Clippers. Griffin, Gordon, Jordan. If I would have to pick any teams that people have to keep a close eye on, it's them. You can't take anything away from Dallas. They're the champions."
-I found this on the ESPN NBA chat with Kendrick Perkins. It would be interesting to see how far the Blazers can go with a healthy roster. The same can be said for the Clippers with their injury history these past few years.
-While these teams have many similarities, the one big difference that stands out between the two is the win total. How soon can the Clippers convert that "potential energy" into "win energy"?

Yeah
One thing to note is how many times the Clippers have beaten the Celtics in the past few years.

Perkins can be a total jerk...
But he has the old school competitive nature in this day and age where every other NBA player wants to be bffs outside the games! Nice to see him say something positive about the Clips

I remember quotes from him last year
questioning Westbrook’s decision making and leadership skills. Perkins was very close to Rondo.
