Kendrick Perkins' second technical foul last night in Game Five against the Orlando Magic was rescinded today, and he will be allowed to play tomorrow night in a pivotal Game Six. The decision was announced today and was much anticipated to take place because of the circumstances. Perkins was whistled for a questionable foul call, and he responded by expressing his emotions while walking away from the referee. He did not appear to use any questionable language. This announcement by the NBA comes as a huge relief to the Boston Celtics due to the fact that reserve forward will probably be unavailable for tomorrow's game due to a concussion caused by an inadvertent elbow by Dwight Howard. With Perkins in the starting lineup tomorrow night, I expect the Celtics to win the decisive Game Six on their home court. The Celtics are a team of veterans and will close out the series because they understand the pressure. If they fail to do so, the Orlando Magic will definitely make history as the first team to come back from an 0-3 hole. It's now or never for Boston, and if they can't close out the series in front of their fans they certainly won't be able to in Orlando.
