I really liked Perkins - he was a warrior, he was tough, he was loyal, and he worked incredibly hard to come back from the knee injury. He was a Celtic for 8 years, and losing him felt like losing a real part of the team. Sometimes we're rooting for laundry and sometimes we're not. I'll still be rooting hard for Perk at OKC.Ben Wymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12491745981357751416noreply@blogger.com
