protect this show protect the Celtics honor from all of the Mavericks fans who are in here talking their trash all right I’m John cares if you’re new to the show used to play a long time ago now I’m covering this Celtics for Boston Sports Journal today it’s all about Chris stops porzingis and we’re doing it with our buddy Tom Wester home hey Tom what’s up what up H you know talking to Chris stops getting uh the scoop getting getting not two christops not three christops but one christop one christop just one just one christop that’s right so yeah but you know it feels like there are more than one Chris stops maybe that’s why because he’s on both ends of the floor he’s making a big impact that’s what it is two-way when he’s when he’s a two-way impact guys he’s a Chris that’s right he’s Chris stops that’s right that’s right um well so the timeline here is we got the the tweet from w a while ago that said hey game four Conference Finals this could be that could be when he comes back so I like oh that was encouraging yeah and you know around game three before three porzingis was at the gamebridge fieldhouse in Indie just walking into media dining like yeah let me just get some of this you know pot roast or whatever the hell they were serving he’s like yeah this looks funny yeah let’s joke around with uh Krist opson like okay this is good all positive stuff and then today on Tuesday sham shiria tweets Chris thops foring has has gone through multiple scrimmages and he is preparing to play in game one so I’m positive I’m like feeling like wow this is great the progression has been great so we’re at the The Practice Facility we’re waiting upstairs in the media section for people who don’t know it’s like a mult two Lev thing media is all upstairs the and then a door opens up usually Joe Missoula comes out first Chris thops porzingis walks in and we’re like oh damn Chris thops is talking to us so two plus two like we’re like ready for the big positive triumphant return Chris THS porzingis is here he’s talking to us I get the first question and I say christops 100% are you are you 100% right now how you doing guys um [Music] um good question I don’t know we’ll see uh I have a couple more days and um I’ve done a lot of work up until this point and and I’ve done everything needed to get back into sh playing shape and we’ll see you on the night so are you planning on being there for game one uh that is the plan so right now um but yeah again it’s couple more days and and I think that can make a difference so every every day gives me a bit more time to get even better you know so working I I love that uh I love like there’s there’s four different distinct moments that you’re like the and like the first one is like you ask the question he sucks on his teeth a little bit like like oh oh okay I’ll admit my expectation was a very simple yeah 100% yeah I’m ready to go I’m good to go um really like the uh um uh you know a couple more days I think is going to make all the difference like oh a lot okay okay putting a lot of a lot of hopes and dreams on these uh these couple days here um yeah and then there were two others that I forget off the top of my head but several red flags I think throughout that several it it’s almost like this is like uh like a video game like a like fortnite type of thing you you just got that health I just need I just need five more seconds to get to that full health and I think I can make it through this game or least or at least like five more seconds to get enough Health to to kind of Limp through yeah yeah yeah um so I I want to be careful not to judge what he said based on my expectations yeah because I I built up to that sound bite specifically because the sh the the W tweet the Shams tweet the scrimmages thing like my expectation was who here we go and he’s like we’ll see we’ll see that’s the plan that’s the plan to be here game to be there for game that’s the plan oh so nothing set in stone that’s the plan um which to be fair right that the plan is a m in NBA terms right that is a much more solid answer than we’re taking it day by day like that’s the plan that’s true is essentially saying yeah yeah I’m I’m I’m playing I’m triing expectations right there there is also a practice and a you know shoot around and a pregame warm-up that I have to get through and as long as nothing screws up so but is it it’s safe to say that that answer unless unless he’s being koi but I don’t think I don’t think that’s being Koy I don’t I just don’t think he’s 100 per. I think being Koy he would have been prepared to be like all right whenever they say I’m gonna pretend you know what he either he’s a great actor and look get him into the John the next John Wick movie because he’ll he’ll get him going you know uh if boban can do it then then get christops in there let’s get a bobon christops fight in the next John like maybe maybe christops can be a can be a John Wick Ally maybe although oh oh I like that I like that if I Rec in the first but yeah I was gonna say if I recall correctly spoilers and all that but I don’t think boban uh no came out of that John Wick movie no yeah no he he he was fed a very large book violently right that’s right yeah that’s right yeah yeah yeah yep so uh but okay so I don’t think he’s being co I just don’t think he’s 100% I don’t think Chris is 100% so the obvious question is this concerning to you yeah oh yeah I mean look yeah like I I think look like you said you don’t want to read into it too much you don’t want to like start making proclamations like I don’t think this guy’s healthy I don’t you know oh like you know how worried how worried should the Celtics be about like you know C injury which is connected to certain things which you don’t like like stuff like you know you don’t want to like you don’t want to get to too down any of those rabbit holes because like the Celtics you like it’s the finals like guys you guys play through stuff in the finals and and I mean you know but but I mean to your point though it’s like you’re like it doesn’t feel like he’s playing koi true it it almost feels more like he’s doing the opposite where he’s not where he would like to be and he doesn’t want the other team to know like hey attack Chris STS in the pick and roll right now because you know he can’t move very well and he he wasn’t all that I mean he was like mobile for his size but he wasn’t like you know hyper hyper mobile to begin with and now he’s even less so like yeah I I think look I I think I I think that the Celtics have a lot of a lot of things that they you know I mean you and I I think I don’t think we’ve talked on the Pod about this yet but SS have a lot of things they can do to the Mavericks um with or without porzingis right uh ESP on the offensive end but if if you know if you’re kind of hanging a lot on like fully healthy Chris porzingis that’s that’s the thing that’s going to put the Celtics over the edge I don’t feel like that press conference makes you feel awesome necessarily like I I think there’s enough red flags in that first answer alone like in the right like yeah uh give you some concern he had something else that he said that makes me pause I’ll get to I’ll get to my reaction to what Tom just said and you’ll hear what por Zinga said uh when when we come back Today’s Show is brought to you by better help now I’ve talked about my visits through you know with a therapist I think it’s benefited me a lot uh I was lucky enough to find somebody

be talking more finals plus JJ reck apparently becoming the Lakers head coach that’s all coming up on lock on NBA with me and Jake Madison so make that your next listen uh let’s get back to the conversation here with Tom Westerholm and before let before I get into that let let’s get into the the other audio clip from his uh press conference and I want to set this up by saying if you’re listening on an audio feed and you have like I have uh a silence reducer so it automatically when it detects silence it cuts out a lot of it so it makes things flow a little bit easier and cuts time out you’re going to have to shut that off or watch the Youtube video to get the full impact because there is a fair amount of Silence before Chris stops poisoning it says anything chrisop is is it a pain threshold thing are you running painfree at this point um yes that’s seven seconds of Silence now let me tell you something hey hey ra rafie did you did you brush your teeth uh um yes yes huh okay I totally believe you yeah oh great no carry on then all question make the joke yeah I was GNA make the joke about my wife asked me if I took out the trash or something be like uh yes yeah like okay John uh can you go take out the trash then but no I just said yes yeah I don’t believe you you need more people go so uh again not encouraging so I I think it’s clear he’s not 100% but it’s the finals he’s never played in the finals he’s never played anything beyond the first round so he’s going to play and he’s close enough where he’s going to play he’s just like look I feel good and let’s not take away from he did go through everything in in the lighter practices he went through multiple scrimmages as as uh sham shiria tweeted out so he’s gone through the multiple scrimmages he’s been on the floor he’s done stuff some of this could be that he’s not at the cardio level that he wants to be so he’s not 100% % there maybe some of it is there is still some lingering soreness or tightness or something and he’s going to have to play through that the question is can and I’m just gonna I might be saying the words kesio tape uh for a thousand times over the course of this series but as I joked on Twitter uh kinesio tape’s going to be The Simpsons version of the inanimate carbon Rod where if Kristoph bingus makes it through this series in one piece and he plays well and the Celtics win then they’re going to throw a ticker tape parade for kinesio tape and it’s going to be in the cover of Time Magazine because that’s going to be what keeps his Achilles and his calf all kind of working in concert with one another and hopefully keeps everything together to a point where there’s no risk of reinjury or no reinjury um at all yeah it does Tom send a little bit of a message to the Mavs that it it tells the Mavs what he’s not going to do and that he’s not going to be blitzing uh Luka donic I don’t think he’s going to be up to touch I don’t think he’s going to be you know switching on to Luca so if Luca is driving and porzingis is there I think por I think Luca can say uh well I know he’s hurt and I know he’s not gonna do anything besides drop so when you tell Luca I’m not doing something then that gives him the option and it it’s not it’s not ideal but 20 minutes of porzingis is still 20 minutes of porzingis and I’ll take 20 minutes of porzingis at 90% or whatever number he is with 28 minutes of Al Horford because it’s not 35 minutes of Al Horford right which is a problem or at least I want I want Al Horford fresh enough to make threes in the fourth quarter and I don’t want to tax him so 20 minutes of porzingis is gonna I think help that and him being a deterent at The Rim regardless I think is going to help the defense do what it needs to do enough of what it needs to do to defend the Mavericks effectively yeah I think there’s a lot of things there’s a lot of things that 90% porzingis brings right like there’s okay and and they’re all they’re all kind of these little interconnected things that are that are are I think would really benefit the Celtics right so you’ve got the floor spacing right which one that gives you an outlet for your three-point like for your drivers right it it spaces the floor spaces the floor farther than Al Horford does as we as we talked about literally since porzingis you know was acquired right like that that was like one of the first things we talked about was how far out he was going to be able to space things that’s all there that’s fine you’re going to be able to do that that’s great if what that then does is allow your slashers to get downhill a little bit more effectively that has a carryover effect even porzingis isn’t out right like then guys are a little bit more comfortable getting to the rim might get themselves going with a couple layups a couple trips to the free throw line couple fouls on somebody you might you’re you’re going to start collapsing the defense in ways that are going to be really helpful down the line I think that’s big time I think to your point you know being able to contest some of these shots at The Rim that’ll be really helpful um yeah I I think there’s so much that porzingis brings to the table and honestly again it’s not like the Celtics were some with with porzingis he’s always been more of a drop big anyway like this does take some of the options away but it doesn’t take away the main thing that he was going to be doing and you know I think yeah you’re certainly right Luca Kyrie you know these these pick and roll options that that they’re going to be that’s going to be a challenge for porzingis but he’s going to bring a lot of other stuff to the table too um that I think will have a lot of carryover effect it the whole thing kind of reminds me a little bit of uh one of my favorite Rob Williams quotes of all time um he he at at media day after he got injured in the in the finals um he was asked if he made the right decision to come back in the playoffs and he goes I played in the finals homie you win some you lose some I don’t regret that is like and it was like yeah dude I I love Rob I love Rob I love that answer and that’s just what this reminds me of man you know it’s like it’s like yeah of course it’s like yeah you hope that this works out if you’re porzingis you know you hope he stays healthy you hope that the Mavericks don’t punish him too much in the pick and roll but like the same time it’s like it’s the finals homie you win some you lose some you’re gonna play like makes a lot of sense yeah look this is it I think it’s it it’s fun to have like that the storyline of Chris Ops Bing is playing through an injury like the Celtics haven’t had storylines like that so you got the one guy that that’s playing through an injury now it’s a scary injury right largely storyline this that’s that’s very very true yeah so um it’s a scary injury because of the placement of it and we all kind of feel like we’ve seen the worst result of trying to push through it but he said and I hope he’s right that he doesn’t think Celtics medical would put him out there if they thought something like that was going to happen now there’s nothing you can do about it there’s nothing you can say um that would that makes it 100% clear like nothing worse is going to happen but like I said they’ve they’ve got the technology to kind of support the the tendon and the muscle and to keep it from getting to a point where you know maybe it’s a certain level of extension it limits it limits the level of extension and it Li whatever it is um you’re not going to miss that opportunity you’re just not going to say when you’ve you’ve been in the league eight full seasons now and this is your first crack think about he gets to New York and that was supposed to be like the big thing and he’s the unicorn and that that never panned out then he gets to Dallas and he’s playing next to Luca and that’s supposed to be a pairing a onew that that didn’t work out and then he goes to Washington and nothing works out in Washington so you’re like well he did he played great yeah he did what did that mean it meant nothing so you kind of like disappointment disappointment purgatory and now here you are and as he said in the thing he’s like we’ve got to finish the job and so he’s part of finishing the job and it’s just a a a limited amount of him is still better than no amount of him because it eliminates the options that the Celtics would have to turn to when he’s not there and that’s I’d rather have 20 minutes of porzingis in four five minute stints yeah than the uh 30 you know 38 40 minutes of Al Horford and running him into the ground and no disrespect Luke cornette but like that’s not an option you want to go to in the final and Xavier Tillman and OA brette like that’s not where you want to go in the finals I know you got those guys and if you have to use them maybe maybe it works out great but you’d rather not have to try that yeah I need I need seven seconds I need seven seconds seven seconds plus he 100% pain free oh how did you get balloons out of your thing Balloons look at that that was new yeah I don’t know you’re gonna have to figure that one out all right well Tom figures out how he got balloons onto his YouTube uh portion of this uh we’ll come back and we’ll talk about more of the

big the big reason why I think he’s he’s going to be so important uh he’s he’s going to help the Celtics keep to I think their initial defensive game plan they don’t like to double in general So and I’ve been you know beating the drum here about do not you you do not overreact to Luca donic keep you know whether it’s Jaylen brown or Drew holiday I’m fine with holiday I know that people are saying oh he he loves that holiday matchup I’m fine good good good I give him Drew holiday and have him be like oh great I can I can cook against him and maybe he puts blinders on and doesn’t pass you know holiday can run him off the three-point line and then with porzingis back there now there’s a rim protector so if the big rim protector is there with his big arms and holiday’s running him off the three-point line and porz and and Lucas he’s just all his space 14 15 feet away and you’re like hey I’ll take this two ah maybe it’s a little tough but I can make these tough twos then great that’s your defensive game plan because he’s not lobbing the ball to uh Lively or Gafford and he’s not kicking the ball out to the corner yeah porzingis is huge when it comes to that because that deterrent at The Rim is important and you don’t need multiple guys to come over and help it’s just one guy to be there and and and I think that makes it worth it and and if it’s five or six minutes I’ll take it yeah no I agree and I think the thing about Luca taking those shots is like yeah of course he can make a lot of them right like if he’s got all that space he might really punish you but just and like that’s what happens in the finals you’re going to play You’re going to play teams where it’s just like there’s schematics that you can’t do much about but what that does do is that turns it into the math game that the Celtics love is you know yeah well like absolutely let’s play the the mid-range twos versus three-pointers that you’re going to get a ton of with porzingis in the game because yeah that like I mean he he makes that all so much easier right all those threes he makes that just such a such a flowy you know round the round the horn type thing so yeah no I think especially when you just look at the the math equation that porzingis um you know helps give the Celtics that starts on that defense but then on the other end too like that’s just uh that’s a formula I think the Celtics are going to be pretty happy with yeah no I I I think so too um the Joe moula had an interesting to thing to say because uh he talks about like living with something and the important thing when it comes to considering the Celtics defense we can get into more of this tomorrow when we I guess call tomorrow our official preview of of the uh the NBA Finals tomorrow’s me media day Wednesday well by the time people listen to this whenever it is uh Wednesday’s media day and then Thursday’s the uh the game one but it’s important to understand how sophisticated NBA offenses can be how good Luca is how good Kyrie is yeah what they’re capable of and what you’re going to see on the floor might look like oh my God this guy is killing Boston and the Celtics are going to be sitting there like yes yes thank you for taking all those shots like Evan Mobley in the Cav series and it looked like wow man they cannot stop Evan Mobley they are just getting crushed by Evan M that that’s got to stop like the Celtics are like no it does not have to stop we’re happily going to accept Moy doing what he does because every shot he takes is not is one that Don Mitchell isn’t taking from three and and even if it’s not even if they’re not happy with it if it’s part of the plan that they’ve put into place then it’s you know like yeah like yeah we we knew we knew Luca was GNA cook Us in the mid-range and that that stinks and we don’t love it but this was what we planned on and if everything else Works around it then then then they do love it right then then your point that’s right yeah at the end of the game if you have a bigger number than them yep then you love it yep and and that that’s the important thing and that’s where porzingis does come into play because Missoula talks about the five to 10 possessions on in a game that turn the game one way or the other whoever wins those five to 10 possessions wins the game because there’s certain stuff that’s just it’s going to happen and there’s certain stuff that you you you can’t stop it’s it’s out of your control and whatever but there’s transition opportunities there’s turnovers there’s all that other stuff that if you can get a enough of those things to go your way you’re gonna win this game so porzingis at whatever percentage he is if he’s out there and able to play it’s maybe maybe Luka is taking the tougher twos and maybe he’s working so hard to get his shot that he gets a little tired later on maybe he misses a couple of those shots because they’re tough regardless for anybody and the Celtics get a couple of opportunities whereas in another coverage those are lobs or kickouts to three and if you can force a couple of Misses instead and you go out and score on the other end that’s two of the possessions that you need and like that’s where all of this comes together and so porzingis is going to help the Celtics lock in and help where they need to help and help off of who they need to help off of and if that player gets some shots and people are like oh there’s this random guy killing the Celtics again what’s going on here just understand like okay how did you get there and if porzingis is the deterrent he’s supposed to be defensively and you’re taking the ball either out of Luca’s comfort zone or out of his hands entirely and that shots going somewhere else or or to a Zone where you’re okay with it like that that’s where we got to watch and and I think the return of porzingis is such a key part to all of this it’s not that they can’t win without porzingis they can but I think with porzingis I don’t want to say they can’t lose but man it’s the winning comes a lot easier if porzingis is on the floor yeah right yeah and this all the schematic stuff that you like if you’re the Celtics you like it like another five as much right like it’s it just it just makes everything just that much better that much smoother that much easier to kind of navigate and kind of plan for it’s Chris thops doing what he does best keeping the Mavericks from winning anything meaningful take that fans got them take that Mavs fans if any of them were hanging around this long they are mad right now they are mad that’s okay they’ve been mad at me they they did not like my line of questioning in the last crossover uh where Nick angad and I switched places and I did the asking they didn’t like the way I asked the questions they didn’t like the questions that I asked like I had the audacity your jib that’s right I had the aity to ask Nick angstead hey is there any concern that you’re going to be leaning so heavily on a rookie in the NBA Finals like I think it’s a fair question like Derek Lively is a rookie it’s the NBA Finals things are gonna be different oh he’s done all of this stuff before I’m like yeah yeah he’s been he’s been great he’s been great I even prefaced it in the episode saying he’s been great but is there any concern that’s the finals things are different in the NBA Finals oh oh how dare you sir sir count the Mavs fan base as another that thinks I’m an arrogant jerk more like the locked out Celtics am I right we’ll see we’ll see who’s right uh thanks Tom as always for hopping on and I always thank all of you for hopping on let me do this thank you and say thank you all for listening for watching to this point I appreciate it uh let’s see what Chris tops does I will be here

Kristaps Porzingis says the plan is to play Game 1, but when he was asked if he was 100%, he said “we’ll see.” So is he ready to go, will he be risking another injury, and will he be effective when the Celtics and Mavs face off in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night? John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal and Tom Westerholm discuss Porzingis’ comments, what the Celtics need out of him, and how much of an impact he can make even if he’s not his normal self.
