Kendrick Perkins had to watch the game from the sidelines on Sunday night with a shoulder injury.   They really missed his presence in Game 5 getting touch rebounds and blocking shots. "It probably hurt us, obviously," Boston coach Doc Rivers. "Whenever you lose, the guy that was hurt or the guy that didn't play becomes very valuable."  "Perk is a physical guy," Garnett said. "He plays the post better than anybody in this league.  That's what he does.  When you lose a key guy, you're losing something."  Perkins will be a game time discussion on Tuesday night.

But will effect your NBA Playoffs picks that Rondo and Perkins could be out?  It seems most of the time the Celtics have made there run when they weren't in the game.  The Celtics have shown that they don't care how hard LA comes out,  they have the fortitude to come back.  Looking forward to a great game on Tuesday night.   Will the Celtics overcome their injuries and fatigue fired up by a roaring home crowd, or will the Lakers come out with fire for the whole game and ignore the crowd like they did in the Utah closeout game?  It should be interesting.
