Perkins will be able to contain Al Jefferson. Antoine Walker will likely be the one who goes off on as, per usual.

If Posey were playing he'd completely shut down Walker's offense.

Hopefully poor Gerald gets some burn. Is Ratliff going to play or did he hurt his back tying up his shoes?

Big Al is going to go off huge for the bizarro celtics, but boston should win this one fairly easily

Your team has the best record in the NBA.

Minnesota has the worst record in the NBA.

But it's also a team where half the roster is former Celtics, so they're likely to be extra motivated.

Doleac would be useful with his outside shot. Chris Richard might be good to have in the playoffs, to push people around in the paint.

All of these guys are available. I agree that Marko would help on a shallow bench, with his flexibility to play three positions. He just missed a triple double by 2 rebounds, in both of his last two games. However, I don't think you have the money to salary match him.

Craig Smith is productive, and most importantly to you .. cheap. I think he'd help, but I'm not sure what you've got left to offer.

What kind of reception from the crowd did each of the former Celtics receive?
