The Celtics picked up Vonilla Wafer off the scrap heap and I almost thought they’d be done adding bench wings. Apparently, I was wrong. (Boston Globe)

The Celtics will start the regular season without defensive-minded center Kendrick Perkins, who is recovering from surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament. The club is seeking another long-range shooter as well as a big man to complete its roster.

“I rode the bench for two years. Thought I wasn’t being played because of my color, I got filled up with a lotta attitude. So I quit. Still not a week goes by I don’t regret it. And I guarantee a week won’t go by in your life you won’t regret walking out, letting them get the best of ya. You hear me clear enough?”

Rudy. (Slow clap). Rudy. (Slow clap). Rudy. (Slow clap). Rudy.

Sorry guys, I’m addicted to the Rudy jokes.
