Perkins: We could have beaten the Lakers if I hadn t been injured in 2010. In that round, the team with more rebounds won every game.

Perkins recently talked about the 2010 Finals on reporter Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson’s show.

Question: "Do you agree that if you hadn't torn your ACL in the 2010 NBA Finals against the Lakers, the Boston Celtics would have won that series?"

Perkins: "I've always agreed. I know it may sound outrageous, but people People are often more impressed by the championships they didn’t win than the championships they did get. I was on the team and we should have won two championships, or I should have had three championships... So when people - especially Celtics fans - come up to me and say, 'If you hadn't been injured, you should have won another championship. Army’, I would say, ‘Yes, there is some truth to that. ’ Because in that series, the team that won the rebounding battle in every game ended up winning that game. And I was able to share the rebounding pressure with Rasheed Wallace and KG. At that time, Garnett was getting older, and both of them were still injured, but they had to face the Lakers' frontcourt lineup-Bynum, Pau Gasol and Odom. "

"So I do think so. And our healthy starting five -- Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett and me -- never lost a series in the playoffs. So that argument does make sense. "
