<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> <div><span style="font-style: italic">Oct 23</span> - Kendrick Perkins was told to sit out last night's game -- not because of an injury, but simply to give his body a rest -- and the Celtics center considered the command an honor. "I guess this means that now I'm officially a veteran," Perkins said. "I'm a veteran, and I'm only 22."</p> "Doc said he wants me to rest up because right now I'm the only player he has at the 5 spot," said Perkins, who added that his right foot, which endured a case of plantar fasciitis last season, is fine. -- <font color="#000000">Boston Herald</font></p></div></div>
We need him to do really good at his position, if we are to have any success. Anyone who saw the game versus the Knicks last night, you could see that if Perkins would have played it would have been a different story. He's a defensive presence at his position.</p>
I said it in the other thread and I'll say it again we have to rest our number one guy for the season!
