NBA Finals Game 5 Celtics at Lakers 6/15 9:00 PM ET ABC

Just announced on CSN pregame.  Perk is not playing tonight.  Scal is active

[Donoghus]

Tough break for Perk.

[Aussie Celtic]

The time has come the Walrus said, to wish our boys the very best of luck.

Very nervous and losing Perk would not be good.  He has had moments where he has really locked down on defense and is a load on the offensive glass, which really helps wear down Gasol and Odum.

Captain, now is the time for you to step into the hallowed light.

Go the Green !!!!

Still cheering down under.

Cheers

Aussie

P.S.  BassT where are you?  I hope everything is okay.

Powe will start at center.    We need KG to step up tonight.  He is 48 minutes from a ring and he needs to leave it all out there, especially on defense without Perk in there. 

[hpantazo]

well, we are deep enough. Powe can handle starting next to KG, and we got PJ, Posey, BBD, and Scal all ready to come off the bench depending on what we need. We can go with size and strength, with youth or experience, and we can go with deep shooters. Let's GO CELTICS!!! Here comes #17!!!

Is Powe starting official?

According to the Globe it is.

Okay, thanks. I'm guessing KG will guard Gasol and Powe will guard Odom. Or, Gasol will "guard" KG and Odom will "guard" Leon.

I'm off to watch a game at a friends.  Hopefully be back on talking about a championship!

[Who]

How many charges will Leon draw on Odom tonight? I'm thinking 2-3.

Win this one, C's! One win away from the 17th championship.
