ROAD DAWGS!!

Beat and sweep that ass.

Hoping for 6 KP minutes

There's no need to risk KP.

I gotta Agree with that. If he hasn't been practing with the Team, then there's no need to play him.
Finals don't Start until June 6th; 10 days after our next Game.

Yeah, I mean he hasn't practiced yet, so putting him out there when it's a close out game is just too risky because players from both teams will be so intense.

[KamikazeK]

I'm on team "Give KP some minutes," assuming he's ready to go. At least let him see the floor before the finals.

[KamikazeK]

Also, I'm looking for some 3-point makes from Hauser in this game. Let's see some sign of life there going into the Finals.

[Cuban Pete]

I remember when Rick Carlyle was the Cs victory cigar back in 1986.

[Riverwalk2021]

Porzingis needs to play if he can so we don't have to watch Scam Hauser scrub it up anymore. Maybe he will be more effective in the Finals since it will be played at a slower pace but enough of him this series. He has zero confidence in his shot. Tillman or Brissett are far superior options at this point.

[playa-hater]

If KP is completely pain and tightness free, then it would benefit Boston playing him a "few minutes" to get the rust off. But If KP is even at 98% pain/stiffness free, we don't dare play him. I just hope KP and his emotional/competitive self realizes the difference and not trick himself as well as the trainers that he is ready.

[playa-hater]

should add. Regardless of KP, Tillman needs to play again.

[Fencer reregistered]

Playing a guy who hasn't even practiced for a month would be nuts.

One more win and the Brad era Celtics can add two more stars to the list of their conquests -- Giannis, Embiid, Harden, Durant, Kyrie, Rondo, Wade, Butler, Trae, Mitchell, Caleb Martin, TJ McConnell, and Andrew Nembhard.

[playa-hater]

Playing a guy who hasn't even practiced for a month would be nuts.

Well in theory, I would assume KP would practice first (today?) to get at least one practice in. That and I am not sure how hard of a practice our team has anyhow with only one day in-between.

The team has barely practiced in the playoffs.

Teams are 29-7 in the postseason when shooting 50%+ from the field. Pacers have 5 of those losses (3 vs. BOS, 2 vs. NYK).

[Riverwalk2021]

Ideal Minutes distribution for Finals:
40+ minutes for Tatum, Jrue, Brown, White
30 minutes for Porzingis
25 minutes for AL
Split the remainder minutes which s/b around 20 between Tillman, Brissett, PP, Hauser depending on matchups
