Could the Celtics slow play Kristaps Porzingis’ return? | NBA Today 

I mean there is no point of forcing player back with calf strain. I think everyone has learned that the hard way.

It’s time for them to use their secret weapon in Xavier Tillman!!

This is why you play guys during the regular season! Fortunately , the Celtics have four legit centers with playing time to carry the load so it will not all go on Al Horford.

Act like goons, play dirty and hurt opponents - Heat Culture

I have a migraine after reading that title.

This title made me dumber...

If youve wached the Celtics all year youll know that they don't miss a beat without Unicorn. He does take them to another level but they can blow out teams without him.

To me, KP should be out for the rest of this series and the next, at minimum.

I love how the old man bump away bam on that tatum foul!!!!❤

They have Horford Kornet Queta Kornet and Tillman

They should just let him rest/rehab until ECF.

Brad traded KP for Miami's zone defense. After this series the Cs can rest him until ECF or depends on who they matchup with.

WE CHILLIN☘️☘️ but rest up and come back soon KP

The KP trade was done to bust the Heat zone tactics, which have given the Celtics some headaches in recent years. Given how that matchup is going right now, they can rest KP for the 2-3 weeks it usually takes to resolve this injury. Cs fans just have to hope it isn't a really bad strain, like Giannis has. As for distributing KP's skillset, offense and rim protection can be covered by a mixture of more minutes for D. White (best blocking guard in 2024), Tilman and Kornet, with the Jays getting more shots up on offense. None of that seems difficult against what's left of the Heat, or for the next round. The ECF could be more problematic if we assume Knicks make it, they're really good at offensive rebounding. Cs are gonna need to maximize rim protection.

Abedayo plant his feet on Tatum he deserved that technical

If Kristaps Porzingis stay healthy this season & consistent 2024 playoffs Boston big chance get #18 banner this season 💪🔥💪

Look up our record without porzingis this year, because I know none of these hosts watched the games. We should be fine to carry this injury into the finals. To think that we don’t stand a chance without him is just ignorant.

They can sit him for ORL/CLE. Then be back for the ECF.

WHAT IS THIS TITLE?

I had a stroke trying to understand that title

I have faith in the guys! We can close out this series and get some rest after

I thought I had a stroke reading the title of this video

Title seemed normal to me

Bam deserves a technical. I blame him for that Porzingis calf injury as well lol

Celbums fans cooking up their response when their 4th best player doesn’t play and the get eliminated 😂😂

I had a stroke trying to read this headline

I thought I was having a stroke when I read the title.

Rest him to NBA Finals

They don't need KP till maybe ECF

Yes rest him please

Stop wearing those low adidas guard shoes with this size! He should wearing some higher shoes with good cushion and protection

The Celtics are good enough even without portzingis, but jaylon brown needs to step up to the plate, he misses too many shots.

If my Celtics get the *W* tomorrow, and Cavs-Magic "pillow fight" extends to game 7, we probably be aiight.. ☘️ Nonetheless, let KP rest. Unko Al got us.

How do you read that video title after typing it and not give yourself cancer?

Nahh give luke some minutes, raise sam houser minutes, then have a defender to plug in here and there

At least a week or 10 days.

KP shouldn’t play the rest of the first round. He should let it heal. Miami might win game 5 to avoid elimination but Boston closes out he series in game 6

wouldnt be mad if they did

Nobody noticed Horford try to get payback? Lol

Don't sleep on knicks

18🍀

If KP can’t go for the Celtics, all of a sudden, not only are the Finals in doubt but, winning the East if you’re the Celtics is in doubt! ❤

They should but they won't. It looked like he wanted to come out a few plays before this happened. They won't play slow game, ask Rob Williams

Bro didn't even play 4 games and he's already gone in the playoffs. What a surprise. I knew he would miss at least 50% of the playoffs. Which means longer series and more fatigue by the Finals which is a big reason they fell apart in 2022 Finals. That advantage is gone now. And so is 🔞

lol what an over dramatic headline

No one is healthy in the East so them having down on fourth best player is no excuse to delay

Celtics coaches and training staff carefully monitored the minutes of their key players for most of the '23-24 season so that inevitable physical issues were kept to a minimum. Good fortune combined w/ this management had a loaded Celtics team at full strength entering the postseason. Porzingis' injury has likely torpedoed a prime opportuity for Boston to finally grasp title #18 after a gut-wrenching, extremely winnable '22 Finals loss to the Warriors.

What bozo thought to type out that title

Bsm is smother dirty player

the east is free for the celtics

Woj, the know it all guy. Bet he doesn’t know how to construct a decent nba team.

Malika Andrews is the reason I quiet watching ESPN. I can’t listen to her.

To quote Tony Mazz, "the Celtics are porked."

😮

Boston probably not gonna win anything with this team sadly and I’m a Celtics fan. They have a big who is injured a lot and they play lazy!

womp womp

Chokson Chokum and Jaylen Starbutnotasuperstarson highlighting the East. The most embarrassing Eastern Conference in half a century. The West has been good, though.

Cs not winning no title please stop
