Celtics in 3
Word, it’s happening!!!! And we should all be savoring it!!’
LFG
What’s stupid is this wait until Thursday, followed by another three days off. If Porzingis isn’t ready by game 2 he never will be.
75% porzingis > Playoff hauser and kornet.
(Looks at the state of Texas) now you’re all in big, big trouble
I wonder what the minutes will look like.
I would assume Porzingis was supposed to be playing ~35mpg for the finals. The injury obviously complicates those plans.
* When Brown got injured in the 2018 playoffs he came back and averaged 25mpg for the first 3 games.
* When Hayward got injured in the 2020 playoffs he averaged 31mpg in his first 4 games.
* Not a playoff example but Smart averaged 23mpg in his first 4 games back from that nasty calf strain in 2021.
Porzingis himself has looked pretty decent coming back from minor injuries all season.
* 20ppg over 31mpg after missing 4 games in November/December (Calf Strain).
* 20ppg over 30mpg after missing 2 games in January (Unspecified Minor Ankle Injury).
* 19ppg over 25mpg after missing 5 games in March (Hamstring).
It will be interesting to see if Porzingis is coming back in a limited capacity or if he’s just back and ready to play. The one thing we do know is that Dallas will be testing that calf in G1.
I expect them to target him a lot in mismatches.
IT’S A WRAP! LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOOO!
Let’s fucking GOOOO!!
TINGUS MF PINGUS BOSTON IN 5
Praise the Pingus!
I read it as not completed ,fucking panic mode.
