Perk Doubtful For Game 5

by Jeff Clark on Jun 13, 2008 8:05 PM EDT in Boston Celtics News & Links

Rivers said Friday that Perkins has a 50-50 chance "at best" of playing in Game 5 on Sunday night.
"When I first saw it, I didn't like what I saw," Rivers said. "Obviously the injury he had last night could be significant, and we don't know the results yet. But that's clearly not looking great right now."

Does the initial report of the injury being a shoulder strain still stand? When I see someone holding their shoulder like Perk was I can’t help but think “dislocation.” That could be due to having suffered through a few dislocated shoulders myself, though.

Too many injuries happening to the Celts.

Ouch, that hurts but we’ve had injuries all year and found a way to win. One More!

I flat out like Perk. He may not be the fastest, the most athletic, he may not make the best decisions sometimes—but I love his attitude, I love how he puts his heart into the game, I love how he’s protective of his teammates. He busts it for the team we love. This has to be driving him nuts and I wish him a speedy and thorough recovery.

Perk sounded a lot more optimistic than Doc last night. Wonder what happened.

Since when is 50/50 doubtful? Sounds questionable to me.

Perk will play. He’s bigger than Doc and Doc won’t be able to restrain him.

we need perk to play, he really helps alter drives and shots in the paint.
he always seems to come up with that timely block when pp isnt coming up with it. we could go with powe at pf and move kg to ctr but the lakers will adjust to that after a quarter or so and we will be tired and they will be fresh with their adjustments, we need perk to anchor us on the first team then go with powe when their tired and we will be fresh.
