Celts Kick 'Zards In The Nards! Victory Cigar vs WAS 12/15

[ConstableGeneva]

LOL at this Dick Lipe stat: The Celtics (3) have more wins than the Wizards (2) in their own arena.

Felt like a 3rd trip to the worst team in the league kinda game. As others have said Pritchard sparked the offense when it was seriously stale to keep the at arms length. Went him and Luke. Tatum rolling out of bed and getting 28 and 12 was nice as well.

Yes I am aware the thread title is exceptionally stupid haha.

Bisme bustin shards in the zards’ nards!

Its end of the world because KP banged his heel with someone and went out because he was smart and didnt play through even if he could

In 46 minutes of non-garbage time, the Cs were +21.
In 35 minutes of Tatum time, the Cs were +4.

Porzingis said leaving the game was more of a precautionary move after he banged his heel at one point in the first half. He’s not sure if he’ll need to miss time, but he dealt with something similar in the past and it doesn’t sound concerning

Porzingis said it happened in the first quarter and he played through it. "In the second, when I started, it was pretty sensitive. So I told the medical staff and they just pulled me out of the game. I don't think it was anything major."

He wasn't exactly sure when it happened, either on a post-up, rebound or lob, he said.

"I think I should be fine for next game, but we'll see."

I put zero % stock into what KP says about his injuries, or Joe's take on them for that matter.
All about the next injury report, which I'm guessing we don't see until Wednesday(?)

If he needs to sit for awhile, sit for awhile
Like, early 2025 or ASB or April, I don't care
Keep developing Queta, build comfort with Luke, and save those spindly KP limbs from wear, tear, and injury risk

C's can afford to rest him the next six games (no B2Bs) -- CHI, @CHI, @ORL (w/o Banchero and Franz), PHI, IND, IND. Play him last day of the year at home vs. TOR. Just so he has real game action before the tough stretch in early January -- @MIN, @HOU, @OKC, @DEN.

I would not be surprised if KP plays against the Bulls.
