I think Doc has been using Sheed in some games to close out due to the need of offense. We give up more points - we need more points- Doc thinks Sheed will spread the floor to give us more points. Has that been true so far? Maybe, maybe not. Some games like the Knicks where he is matched against David Lee, I guess given his reputation as a defensive player, I don't expect Lee to put in 22. Like I said, I'm not worried about Perkins in the least bit. Right, and I guess another thing I am proposing is after being in better shape, shouldn’t Perk have better movement and foul less?

FOUL TROUBLE and REDUCED MINUTES. Perk has improved so much this season. Looking like a new player offensively and taking a more vocal role w the team defensively. He is the most under-rated player on the team. Perk has been a victim of early foul trouble (possibly caused by frustration over the team's play) and Doc's rotations. Even when Perk is not in foul trouble, Doc seems to use Sheed in closing minutes of the fourth more often. Perk, as a result, plays under 30 minutes and has a reduced impact on the over-all game. Keep in mind, Perk is averaging the least minutes (26) of all starters. All of the examples you cite have two things in common… FOUL TROUBLE and REDUCED MINUTES.
