Porzingis injury updates (Update: Dislocated Tendon)

[W8ting2McHale]

PP is getting hunted like crazy.

Agree about Tillman and off-season shooting bonanza. Cost-controlled for next year..

I thought he did okay against Kyrie. Luka has 6 inches and 40 lbs. on him, so he got bulldozed, but he never stopped fighting. I liked that he went after Luka when he had the ball a couple of times to make him defend.

So the Celtics twitter account posted an eyeball emoji with the video of Porzingis practicing.

I don't see why they would post that if he wasn't playing tomorrow night... they didn't do this before Game 3 either and the last time they did was days before Game 1 before he was deemed available for sure.

Do you really think the person running the Twitter account is privy to that kind of inside information, and then cryptically tweets it? Chances are they know just about as much as we do, and like us want him to play but have no idea if he will

Fair point, but also whenever the C's post the game poster and it has a certain player on it, it's a guarantee that player plays. Like when there was real doubt Holiday would play ECF Game 3, the twitter account posted the gameday poster with Holiday's picture front and center. And he played. Maybe they do?

I wouldn't be surprised if this is our own version of "mind games" and Porzingis is ultimately still out tonight.

That'd be fine. I think Tillman can continue to be solid in this role.

[SparzWizard]

I think Porzingis plays tonight. He probably wants to be in uniform for a potential celebration.

PP was getting hunted and the Mavs should do that to the max whenever PP is on the court.  Don't want to see PP, White and Jrue lineup on the court again.

?Getting hunted? means the Mavs know the C?s will switch everything on the pick. PP is too small for a switching defense against a fat blob like Luka.  That said, I wouldn't change the defense. Just accept this will happen and make up for it in other ways.

Joe Mazzulla says Kristaps Porzingis will test out his leg before the game with team trainers to see where he?s at.

Didn't he do that last time as well, but failed whatever result the trainers/doctors wanted to see?

I think what Roy said somewhere is what I'd want myself, let him dress up. And not play him, but in my estimation, let him dress up and let him play if needed or if the game is over (in our favor) give him a few minutes in the floor.

I bet he is dying to step onto that floor. This years Porzingis is exactly what the Mavericks need in the Finals right now. But health is the biggie unfortunately. I am surprised they couldn't find a way to utilize Porzningis right in Dallas. Then again, we had similar issues too with a Kyrie team before.

[CelticsWhat35]

I think it?s a worse look if he DOES play tonight.  How much could he have possibly healed in 48 hrs? If he can play tonight, he should?ve been able to play in game 3, which was more important

[Redz]

I?d give better odds on Queta playing than KP.

Let?s blow them out!

What are you offering?

[Birdman]

I wouldn?t play him tonight, now it Monday, let?s see

What?s up with the question marks instead of apostrophes
