EDIT:

Tillman also listed as QUESTIONABLE for personal reasons. Mathurin (OUT) only one listed for the Pacers.

I'm assuming Tillman is out after realising we wasn't going to be required to come off the bench in a superman cape during the NBA finals to single cover Jokic in the post.
Feeling a little lost right now.

Tillman’s father passed away (go to the Tillman thread).

definitely feels if it isn't this year then it will never happen for the jays winning together. they simply have to get it done now. and once they do, the "been there, done that" confidence against better teams will be there where maybe they don't piss away games in crunch time in future years

Based on that little clip of him not even walking right I'd say no way is he ready for those games - maaaybe games 6-7 (if necessary of course).

CLNS reporters said it's unlikely KP plays in this series.

This is Kevin Garnett all over again. To me this man is done for the season. If he did comeback in the finals he wouldn’t have played in over a month and would probably not be the same guy he was.

Tough break because we kept him healthy all year, but you just knew he would break eventually and ofc it happened at the worst **** time.

Just saw a video Porzingis going hard on a stationary bike. Looks like he’s nearing playing.

Yep. Agree with Chris, honestly. Barring another additional injury, they are not at all likely to get a better crack at it than what they have laid out in front of them.

If you're going to lose to a good defense in the playoffs, like last year and Miami, fine. Not to Indy. That's not what they do and I think we can shift Minnesota enough to mitigate a lot of what they do.

Don't play with your food!

It would be in the Celtics best interest to get this series over with early. Minny/Dallas is definitely going 6 or 7 in my opinion. Get this series over with in 5 games so you can take advantage of the extra rest.

Tony Brothers, oh boy. Please don’t cry in transition. Pacers don’t really play any non shooters. No complaining to brothers.

True, I got Sota in 6.
I would like for Porzingis to play at least 1 game before the Finals. Would be good to get his feet wet after being inactive for several weeks now, but if he can't go, let him rest.

I agree. Its stupid to lose to the pacers. Enough with the excuses. They should start elevating their game and start locking in.

The pressure is on Tatum. One said that nobody is beating us if Tatum has a great series. Even the wolves or mavs won’t beat us if Tatum elevates his game, or just at least match luka or Antman.
