I haven’t had a donut in a while but donuts are dang good. Not so much Dunkin (I’m good with their coffee) but good bakery donuts.  Dang.  A chocolate honey dipped. Or a maple frosted. Yeah, I’d like one now.

Butternut. Coconut. Maple Frosted. Those are my top-3. I love seasonal ones too like when Dunkin sells cake batter ones.

I wish Massachusetts also had Krispy Kreme. It's mostly just Dunkins, Blackbird and maybe a few local bakery ones like you said. Though the latter tend to be a bit more expensive but worth it.

No KP tomorrow

Hmmm, KP out again. Hard to know what to make of this - if we’re just shelving him and making sure he’s a full 100% before returning knowing we’re up 3-0, or if he’s really not ready to come back.

The 3-0 lead allows you to be more cautious with him. Win tomorrow and you have until June 6th as extra rest and to reintroduce him to the team

[keevsnick]

Well if the Celtics win tomorrow and close out the series that means as a team they'll have 10 days of rest before the start of the NBA finals on June 6th. That would be 5.5 weeks (38 days) after KP's injury.

The NBA final games are also a lot more spread out. Usually every third day rather than every other day, which is probably better for KP and Al.

Back to the important side topic, speaking of maple frosted… when I was a kid there was a bakery in the center of town that made maple frosted eclairs. Freshly baked.  They were phenomenal. It closed probably 40+ years ago. I haven’t seen a maple frosted eclair since (at least I can’t recall). But I have the memory.

The fact that they already ruled him out more than 24 hours before the game seems telling. Not even doubtful or questionable, straight up "OUT". Really doesn't sound like someone who will even be available for Game 5.

I still think ultimately, he either comes back for a potential Game 6 if it gets there + there's some desperation from Boston at that point, or simply he comes back Game 1 of the Finals which is still 10 days away.

I won't lie though, I'm starting to also fear they haven't been honest this whole time and KP's injury is really severe, to the point where he might not even be available at the beginning of the Finals. It's not like the Celtics medical staff is perfect (look at the Timelord, Isaiah Thomas, etc. situations)

Yup!
Celtics need to be focused on winning the title without porzingis and I think they are…I’m not counting on him at all at this point, way too sketchy

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

No KP tomorrow

saw that

why not list him as doubtful? to keep indy prepared?

IMMA just say he will not play until the finals now.

lets close this out in 4 or 5.

Porzingis vs Dallas! I can see that!

He'd be a matchup nightmare for Dallas and probably really swing the pendulum in our favor if he plays.
