I get the gamesmanship but it would be nice to hear some sort of update from anyone in the org

I know it’s an obvious question to ask, but I wish they would just stop asking Joe in general. When he’s ready to play, he’ll play.

TIL Joe is not the doctors

Either Joe is playing chess with other remaining teams or Porzingis won’t play 💀
skoowoowoo
Kristaps is definitely getting a surprise entrance. He’s gonna descend from the rafters like Sting mid game and block a TJ McConnell mid range.

Joe knows the western conference is game planning for the Celtics and have been all playoffs this is wise of him

That’s better than a flat out no I guess

When are people going to realize that they say this so the other team/s don’t know? Lol

I think Porzingis is more hurt than they are letting on. I don’t see any reason for this secrecy and lack of information except that there isn’t any because he isn’t ready to play

At this point I’d be surprised if he plays this year. I think they’re downplaying the injury. He hasn’t practiced or had any sort of contact yet. If he plays at all it’s a bonus

Keep him out. Let that calf rest. Last thing we need is to have the unicorn aggravate that in game 4 and and sit out the finals
LexGar
He is very delicate. That calf could take the rest of the summer to recover.

This dude legit talks to the media like he thinks he’s Belichick
Think_please
It would seem insane to play him in this series if he is anything less than 100%, right?

What do I look like?? The guy who makes the decisions on who plays in the games?

Ooh we know you’re not a Dr Joe…. trust me. Not even sure you’re a coach at this point.

This time Joe could actually say what hes thinking because someone said that they didnt train today.
They are in hotel with reporters

Joe has a doctorate degree in thuganomics. Lol.

I’m glad mazzulla has just slid into a belichick type media role 😂

Joe isn’t a doctor too? Fire him now, he’s useless (do I really need to put /s?)

Pacers were interviewed after G3 and Rock Carlisle literally said he’s going to make the game ever more physical and the pacers are going to play with more force. They know they can’t win the series but he’s going to have his guys like Nesmith playing bully ball, and throwing themselves at dudes trying to hurt someone.
Don’t think it’s a game KP can ease into they’re going to try and attack him and that’s not a worthwhile risk we should take when Carslile is making those kind of statements.

Goddamnit Jim, I’m a coach not a doctor!

There remains zero reason to rush KP for a game they can win easily without Halliburton. I believe the Finals start is set for June 6th so it’s kind of silly to trot him out tomorrow even for a few minutes up 3-0 when he is gonna sit for another 10 days anyways. Waiting til the Finals gives him almost 5.5 weeks down. That’s a much better number than 4 for a muscle issue.

[All I can think about](https://youtu.be/F5xrkNeO2QI?si=ii4kHcPs-KITEmHk) when this sub or reporters think they’ve finally nailed down whether Joe Mazulla is aware that he’s a maniac or not
And this is why I choose to move past it and leave him be to do the Charlie Work.
Love this mf more every day lmao
He’s not gonna play
