Doc Rivers on Kendrick Perkins: ‘You can’t put a number on identity or perception’ 11.23.12 at 8:22 pm ET
By

When asked initially about Kendrick Perkins before Friday’s game, Doc Rivers said he wasn’t focused on the big man’s return to Boston.

“He’s tough,” Rivers said. “He’s good. He’s a good defender. I’m looking at their whole team. I haven’t thought about the one guy more than the sentimental stuff.”

Then Rivers articulated exactly what it is that the 7-foot center brings to any team he’s on. Call it the “scowl” factor.

“Perk has never had big stats,” Rivers said. “That’s not why you have Perk on your team. You can’t put a number on identity or perception. There is a number but I don’t know what it is but Perk gives the team that.”

      too bad pr1994

  • Gmaglongpa

    Yes, Elway lied! Tebow is a quarterback of the future. Manning, the past. What will they do when he gets hurt? Elway you suck!!

    • PatsFan

      Tebow is a side show dude.  Broncos are waaaaaay better off with Manning and in the case he was injured, still will be waaaaaaay better off with whomever is backing up him up. Be glad this circus is over and there is a 4 time league MVP & Superbowl champion at the helm.

    Don’t let Tebow leave he was able to overturn last season with very little exp. Just imagine in his future!!!! Keep Tebow be smart..

      Wherever, whatever Tim Tebow does will be done with class. Most people can’t comprehend this quality in a person because they never personally owned it. Denver’s loss not Tim Tebow’s.

    Keep Tebow. Who else could have the chance to practice with John Elway and Peyton Manning.

  • ROCK

    The Broncos have made a good decision getting Tebow. Now make another good decision and keep him!

  • John23

    Broncos need to keep Tebow. Yes, it’s Manning’s team now, but they are going to have to rely on a backup and yes I would want Tebow on my team. The kid has spark, he finds a way to win. He is a winner. He is a keeper no matter how obnoxious the decision might appear to some

    So sad to see how it all was handled. I remember when Elway was drafted….many years of growing and not winning…until many seasons down the road. How sad to see Tebow not given the chance to grow(like elway was allowed)…Tebow turned Denver around and has a HUGE FAN base in Denver !
    Manning…yes , is one of the best…but not the youngest QB any more with one hit it could be over and who will we have as a back-up???? Shame on you Elway ….Tebow will be followed by Denver fans wherever he goes and be appreciated for the energy and excitement he brings to the field and sport of football.
    Very disappointed !!!
