Welcome to Boston, Kristaps Porzingis!

KP was great the whole season, so I think he's allowed to have one bad game.

He doesn't have a hook (regular or Jokic style), he doesn't have a fadeaway. Basically, he doesn't a shot where he puts his body between the defender and the ball. He has a bizarre shot which doesn't look like anything I am familiar with. When he is a foot taller than the defender and if it is the regular season, those might fall in. They won't in the playoffs. If I was him, I wouldn't take those shots.

If I'm Porzingis, I take advice from people who have never played basketball at a high level, let alone as a 7'3 center, on how to score.

Spo has never played basketball. Would you take advice from him if you were KP?

Spo's not out there telling Jimmy and Bam what mechanics they should use

Reading tea leaves - three weeks for KP?

I wouldn’t want to play against Magic if KP will be out for an extended period of time. They are very tall, young and agile. Al can’t keep up with them.

That cause KP is the posterboy of speed and athleticism?

Wcjr and isaac play most of the minutes at center.

Horf, kornet, tillman and Queta have no problems defending that.

Play strong wing defense and no problems.

I recommend you to find and watch our worst loss this year. It was against Magic. We lost by 20 something. It was a tie until up until KP got injured an left. KP is not the posterboy of athleticism. He is simply as tall as a flag pole. If attack him and not strong enough to push him aside, he will block you. There is no substitute for his rim protection in this squad.

I wrote a song and had AI make it for Kristaps
https://www.udio.com/songs/1frV6cUa8V8G5CP9yFCjit

Oh oh oh Kristaps
We miss you
We miss you big guy
we need you so much
we miss your size
hope we can
get by Miami tonight (Miami tonight)

we miss it when
you used to shoot
and when you
used to dribble
oh Kristaps
you b-ball unicorn, Kristaps

you're so tall
it's incredible
such long arms
and a long torso

[Chorus]
Oh Oh Oh Kristaps
You know that we need you
Oh Kristaps
We know we can't have you
Oh Kristaps
oh no no no no no
Oh Kristaps
your calf is not working well
oh Kristaps
we hope it will heal

This is beautifully terrible

Do we have any timetable for his return? I only saw that Woj reported he'd miss several games... But how much is several? Game 5 and the rest of the second round? Or until the Finals?

A relevant tweet was posted somewhere, tldr = no timetable, depends how he feels, how he heels, and whether we can get by without him.

Let's not rush him to make a return, I don't want to see him not feeling good on the floor and this impact his off season rest and recover for the next season. Let's take it step by step and make him feel as comfortable as possible.

2. I am ok with his resting this next round to start getting minutes next round and be ready to go in the finals.
