I'd kill to see that. The first time Reggie went up for a shot and saw Perk coming at him he'd have to call a time out to change his underwear
Seriously though, you have to get physical with Reggie because if you are withinn 5 feet of him he's going to flop and get a phantom call so you might as well get your money's worth. Put Allen on him and tell him not to worry about how many fouls he gets, just grab him, push him, etc. and basically do everything to him that Reggie does to everyone else. If he fouls out in the first half so be it. Then put Reed in and tell him to do the same thing. Those guys have the talent and the mentality to frustrate the hell out of Reggie. of course that means that Pierce will have to at least try to stay with Jackson and he hasn't shown me that he can do that. I think Antoine has done a decent job on O'Neal defensively and Jefferson didn't do bad in Game 1 but the same thing goes for him that goes for Reggie, get physical and get inside his head. If you play soft they're going to take advantage of you and they're get every call. play tough and don't give up easy baskets!
