Chemistry and Family
"Tough day to play basketball," Kevin Garnett said. "Very tough day to play basketball, to even concentrate. Just being bluntly honest. You feel like you lost a family member today. Tough day."
"It was very emotional, especially for me being that I had a chance to see Perkins grow up from day one, fresh out of high school, coming in here and seeing the level he got to, a championship team," said Paul Pierce. "It's definitely emotional. I had a chance to talk to him this afternoon a little bit, he was definitely hurt. The guys around this locker room were definitely hurt to see Perk go."
"I hate to lose a teammate like Perkins," Pierce said. "He meant so much. People don't understand chemistry is from the bus to the plane to the locker room, so it's definitely a blow. It depends on how the other guys make the adjustment."
Three Observations:
1. Reading the Celtics reaction to losing Kendrick Perkins, one guy, speaks volumes about their family.
2. Denver is like someone photo shopped the Knicks yoots and dropped them in a bootleg video game. Watching Wilson Chandler, Gallo and Felton in powder blue was weird.
3. George Karl has a lot of crayons
