right calf tightness not major right?

I’m sure he’ll get an MRI, but if it’s just tightness he’ll probably miss a couple of games.

He's been dealing with it all year. Last year too if I recall.

This should be expected from him. Just need him for the finals to be honest.

I hate it here.

That's incredibly good news given how it looked. Maybe KP just played it up so Mazulla would actually register what was going on and take him out.

[zoyathedestroya]

With KP out, expecting our superstar to step up the plate. No more Timid Tatum in this half.

[KillahGhostface]

With a stacked team, they need to find the right balance. And if he is the superstar we claim he is, he can perform and impact the game no matter the circumstance. Yes, his touches are limited in this half. Make the most out of them. He's not a role player who should need to get into a rhythm.

The right balance is not this lol. We had the hierarchy down until the last couple of months, and since then? Meh.

He’s not a role player is the exact point, he needs to touch the ball. We used to at least use him to create looks for other in the first, now it’s just them camping him in the corner. We will need him to win us some games later in the playoffs, and you can’t ask a player to try and get his offense going 12 minutes into the game lol. And no top player in the league is asked to do it to this extent.

You're exaggerating and you know it.

Not about the offense since game 1.

Touches have gone from 94, to 83, to 74, and tonight will be lower than that.

His usage last game? 24.7%, this game? I’d imagine lower than that. Him being second in usage so far is not a good thing, and it’s letting the Heat dictate things. You can afford it against the Heat because they suck, but top teams? No way.

Time for him to show he’s a top 5 player lol.

We’d need him in the ECF, for reps at least.

[The Corey's]

Imagine getting only a handful of touches and being judged by that?? And we have two all stars who got a ton of touches playing bad..

Whatever.. I'm not here to debate p p when we have bigger issues going on..

You don't like pushback on anything. Him not getting touches isn't the problem. That's his damn job.

He ain't a star bruh.

No one has ever called him a star.. You are region.. But if our actual star showed up we'd probably be up by forty.. Focus on them not some player who gets two touches and doesn't produce

Is region some sort of gen z phrase I should know about?

The point went over your head. Let me clarify.

If PP is gonna bomb ugly bricks it's not a surprise Tatum and Brown ice him out.

That matters when Brown is going to the hole on 5 straight possessions throwing up wild shots.

Sit him till ECF, this team should be good enough to get there without him

only a 'doubtful to return' is FANTaSTIC NEWS !!!

[Gurton Buster]

Meanwhile, Heat fans celebrating the injury on their board

pathetic. The arena cued lets go heat chants right after the injury lmao

[SuperDeluxe]

I don't blame them. Their team is trash on wheels and they have nothing left to celebrate.

[The_Ghost_of_JB]

I hope these reports are actually true. It’s not the end of the world if he Has calf tightness, but he could miss several games as a precaution.

[meatball sub]

the frustration doesnt necessarily mean he thinks it's bad. he could just be disappointed bc this is always the knock on him and he wanted to prove people wrong

[165bows]

Breakout Tillman Kornet and Queta and take this thing home.

[Parliament10]

We actually could make it to the next Series, without Porzingis.

Don't play around. They should have taken him out, when he sprained his ankle.
Baby-Steps.

Bring in the Backup-Center-by-Committee.
Kornet-Tillman-Queta.

[Fierce1]

This is great, guys.

Cs still leading big even if the Jays are not playing well.

Only means the Cs is a team not totally dependent on the Jays anymore.

We are lucky Heat is shooting poorly. If they come out firing, we are in deep ****. Tatum and Brown doesn't have the fire to save us when the game becomes tight.

There's a reason why guys like Caleb Martin, Highsmith, and those other unknown players are not getting the money that guys like Jrue and White are getting.

Those guys are just not great players.

They got hot in Game 2, but that's not what they've been doing the whole season.

[Green89]

I have left calf tightness now, from squirming in my chair over the stress of the injury.

[Roger Federer]

Given how we usually underreport injuries, I'm sure by tomorrow morning we'll be discussing Achilles tears and how soon he can be back to his old self after surgery.

[Ben-N1ce]

Need to handle business. Jaylen and Tatum no show and still up big.

[Triple M]

Right calf tightness is better than right calf injury.

Im assuming the latter would be used if it was more serious
