If they don't have Perkins to go up against D Howard the Celtics are in trouble.
Game five last night of the Boston(3)/ Orlando (2) series was about emotions flaring and elbows swinging.
It is true that elbows are thrown throughout an entire basketball game whether it’s playoffs or not. But in Game five , elbow drama caused the Celtics to lose two key players. Glen (Baby) Davis power forward of the Celtics suffered a concussion and did not return to the game ; Kendrick Perkins (Center) also got in trouble early after throwing an elbow of his own.
Kendrick Perkins was given a technical foul for throwing a baby elbow to Gortat’s stomach. What is a baby elbow? It’s the elbow you kinda give someone when they are standing way to close to you. You know when they are all up in your personal space and you need some room. Well you catch my drift and that baby elbow got him a technical foul. It was such a petty call even the refs forgot about it and shortly after “T’d” him again for arguing a call. He was automatically ejected from the game . Boston wasn’t out of it though they still had Big Baby to guard D Howard. That is until he got DEE Bo’d by Howard . Check it out.

TKO'd, Knocked Out, Baby and the Celtics might have just got knocked out of the series.
(Big Baby) Glen Davis got an inadvertent elbow from D Howard of the Magic to the head last night and blacked out. In the process of getting back up he looked like a boxer who had just been T-K-O’d
Howard always swings his elbows after every play while begging for a foul to be called. That’s exactly what happened on this play. Howard was thinking he got fouled on the play but “clearly” he had cleared everybody out of the paint with his wailing elbows. The action made me think of Dee-Bo from the movie Friday. The Celtics got out of the paint and out of the game after that play. The Celtics got DEE Bo’d last night and the now the Magic (“Majic” if you nicesty) have made it a series.
