TEAMS: Charlotte Bobcats, Boston Celtics, Oklahoma City Thunder
Boston has a desperate need for size. Przybilla, who would be another recently-injured Celtic, fits that need. He also scowls a lot, throws occasional elbows, and could probably pass for Kendrick Perkins if you were entirely color blind and just saw a hulking figure defending Boston’s basket. But the big fella isn’t sure whether he’ll even play this season, with reports saying he is leaning toward retirement.At the end of November, Przybilla told the Oregonian’s Jason Quick that he feels healthy but will only consider returning to the NBA if the right situation comes calling.“I can play. I feel great. This is the best my body has felt in a long, long time,’’ Przybilla said. “But I honestly don’t know if I will play. We’ll see. We’ll see what my options are.’’“Honestly, this is the most happy I’ve been in a long time.

Some Meaningless Observations From the Celtics “Practice” Last Night
Last night I used my Beantown Banter /LucidSportsFan media credentials to get an inside glimpse at a Celtics practice. Ok, not really, it’s something they give to season ticket holders every year.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jeff Green and his family as it has been reported the early detection of his condition may have very well saved his life. The loss of Green for the season is a blow the Celtics could not have prepared for especially in this fashion.
