    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Rivers said there was a ?50 percent chance? that Perkins, West, or both, could miss the Charlotte game.

    On a more positive note, Rivers said Al Jefferson did practice for the first time since his appendectomy two weeks ago. While he did not participate in the walkthrough, Rivers said there was still a chance he could play in Charlotte.

    Wally Szczerbiak (sore glut muscle) was back out on the floor after resting on Monday and seemed fine.</div>
    Good Wally is good to go. Delonte and Perk only a 50% chance of playing? Ehhh.. But Big Al might actually be playing tomorrow night in Charlotte? I am incredibly happy about that.

    <u>Best case scenerio</u>: Perk and Delonte are fine, they play. Big Al comes back.

    <u>Worst case scenerio</u>: Perk, Delonte, and Big Al all sit out. We have no center. Pierce starts at PF, Gomes at center, and either Scal or Powe as backup center. :shok: :drunk:

    Best case scenerio is great, but the worst case scenerio is SCARY. If we don't have a center to match up with Okafor, especially Perk, we're screwed. Oh, and to top it off - Brezec is back. Ugh. PERK PLEASE BE ALRIGHT!

    I prefer not to think about the latter until it actually happens.

    wow, I think if Perk sits out, al will play, and vice versa. we can't afford to have like Ryan Gomes as our tallest player. hahaI hope emeka doesn't completely dominate us. where the hell is theo when you need him?

    Good news, Perk will play, Big Al will probably play, and Delonte is a game-time decision (he was at shootaround this morning).

    http://www.bostonherald.com/blogs/celtics/?p=32

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Both went through shootaround, as did Delonte West (sprained left big toe). West is still a game-time decision, according to Doc Rivers. Jefferson is supposedly uncertain, as well, but he gave a rousing ?Hell, yeah?? this morning when asked if he?d be working this evening.</div>
    Hell yeah Al!

    Reading over at CelticsBlog, fans heard Ainge on WEEI today and apparently Delonte will be out for a couple games with his hurt toe. Grrr.

    This means a little extra Gerald though, so I guess something good comes out of it.

    Also, Ainge believes Big Al will play tonight, Perk will as well. YES!
