If Bynum's Injury was Karma then Perkins Should be Dead

By Craig Kwasniewski

So word is out that people are calling Andrew Bynum's knee injury was some sort of karmic convergence because of the Gerald Wallace incident.  Let me be VERY clear on that... if you really think karma had any play in it then you sir are a douchebag!

I was at the game and believe me it didn't look like Bynum was trying to take Wallace out. He was late to rotate over defensively and gave him a hard (and very sloppy) foul to prevent a layup.  It was a reckless play but there was no intent to harm Wallace and the league agreed by not suspending or fining Bynum.

HOWEVER... if we're talking about karma and injuries, then Kendrick Perkins is officially on my 2009 dead pool for all of his thuggish cheap shots in the past 1 1/2 seasons (BTW - that he NEVER did before KG, again typifying the front running KG-Celtics Era).

The latest example is against Detroit's Jason Maxiell last Friday. Maxiell grabs an offensive board on the rim and is positioned for a put-back shot.  Perkins reaches over Maxiell and slams him to the ground.  CLEARLY there was no play on the ball and and it appeared there was intent to harm (see below):

I'm not wishing death on Perkins (trust me, like I need any more bad karma my way), all I'm saying is that if media people and fans alike can call Andrew Bynum's knee injury karma when he CLEARLY didn't mean to hurt Gerald Wallace, then what is due for players like Perkins, who are EXTREMELY limited in talent and exist on intimidation and thuggery? Basically, unlike Bynum, Perkins is out to harm... so what's due for him?
