When Kristaps Porziņģis comes Back, during the Finals.
1) Porzingis should come off the Bench, for the Duration
2) Porzingis should Start for the Finals, for the Duration
3) Porzingis should come off the Bench, Until he's ready to Start

He should start. He should play all of his minutes when Gafford and Lively are in. Then Horford plays when kleber plays.

Porzingis can play drop coverage against Gafford and Lively which makes it easier to pack the paint and take away lobs.

You think that Zinger would be ready for that, after not playing for a month?

I don't think that he'd be ready for that.
Also, we're already in a rhythm, with Horford Starting.

Start him and have him come off the bench! 48 minutes of KP and KP 2.0!

Al has done an admirable job stepping in the Porzingis, hes played better than expected overall but if hes healthy, Porzingis is a boarder line all star and will be the starting center.

Looks like the Bench Votes were right.

I would have thought, that he'd come off the Bench, until he was ready to Start?
Seems like he's ready, now? -- Maybe Joe is playing his own mindgame???

Zinger should come off a gurney. Or out of an iron lung or even perhaps a bacta tank (for those will a Star Wars bias)
