So the Game 4 return sounds promising.


The arcticle RealGM said they “expect” KP to miss the first two games.

Can you at least get the information right so you’re not confusing everyone when he’s inevitably back for Game 1 lol

If Hart can't go, Knicks should play John Starks or Ben Stiller.

If Pacers pull it off, they will be the healthiest team we'll face before the Finals. Missing just Ben Mathurin among their regulars. KP is more important to us than Ben is to them.

Wojnarowski also reported that there is optimism that -- barring any setbacks -- Porzingis should be able to return to the court at some point during the conference finals.

KP needs to play in the conf finals even on mins restrictions, even for a few games. Need that for conditioning and chemistry.

If series only goes 4 games then KP might only play 1 game.

2 games if it's a 5-game series.

In the Celtics two series, the team with higher 3FG% was 8-2.

It’s not going to count because Jimmy Butler was out
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

If Wolves win Sunday, we’re assured of a different NBA champion for a 6th consecutive season. It will also be the first time since 1990 that neither Finals team has a former/current MVP.

I'll be rooting for Min to knock off Denver. No disrespect to Min, they are a great team and the Celtics will have to play very well to beta them. That said, Jokic is just an unstoppable force. The C's haven't had an answer for him. I'd rather take my chanced with the C's five-out offense trying to beat Minnesota than having to find a way to contain Jokic.

Regardless of who wins that matchup I'll be rooting for a 7 game grueling series against the winner of Dal/OKC. Let the western conference grind itself to dust.

The Boston Celtics are being burned at the stake for letting IT and Robert Williams play injured in a Game 7 this Sunday. Wait, no it’s Josh Hart and OG Anunoby playing hurt and risking further injury.

Thunder ahead. They have to Win this, or be eliminated.
