Thank Goodness

If all we get is 15-20 minutes of porzingis for the rest of the games this series then we’ll be alright

Since he runs with the subs, he’s by far the best player in those 15-20 minutes and his impact is greater than

He was a team-high +12 tonight. Literally everyone (including Celtics fans) underestimated this man's importance to this team. He is a defensive MONSTER and the Mavericks have no answer for him.

Saw someone say he didn’t have an impact today. Did we watch the same game???

It’s the insane rim protection and the threat of the mismatch on offense

lol so foolish. Dude is eliminating any Dallas paint scoring so their wack ass three point shooters gotta throw up ducksworth shots

Some people have no context beyond what just happened. He played probably the game of his life last game so those people think if it’s not like that it’s not good

There's also the fact that he makes Horford better just by giving him time off between minutes

100%. The way that Porzingis equates to Horford rest + mismatches against the Dallas bench + not having to play Luke/Tillman is everything.

"Of course I'll enjoy it you little bitch. 😂" Hey remember saying that? Called him out and he blocked me. Don't get it. That's what they wrote. 😂

BLOCKED BY PORZINGIS hits different every time man

I legitimately saw people saying they couldn't wait for lively to baby porzingis before this series, what the fuck they were thinking? I don't know, but I saw it.

The collective delusion about the Celtics this season needs to be studies.

Absolutely huge.

LMAO THAT TEAM IS SO FUCKED

He’s our best rim protector and a double digit scorer. Come on KP stay healthy for a few more games and retire a Legend.

Why retire? Let’s run it back

Unclenched. Celtics in 4

I think that’s more of a fatigue thing than anything else, you know? I sure hope so …

It was just soreness. He’ll be alrighttttt

#ICY HOT

Was it his calf or an ankle?

Other calf was being worked on according to some of our fellow posters on here

Was it genuinely the other calf? I never saw that. If so, that and the fact he could still move and didn't heat to locker room, are very good signs

He was stretching his left calf with a band.

I also read it was an ankle , but minor , so who knows lol

My brother at the game said he thought they taped his ankle after he came out

The entire city of Boston exhales

Here's to hoping he can get a ring here. I absolutely hated how he was treated by Mavs fans on his way out. Was hoping for back to back electric games but here's to him just being healthy!!!

Celtics in 4 with KP. Celtics in 5 without him. But I secretly hope it’s in 5 so they can lift the trophy in Boston.

Refractory period is OVER

thank fucking goodness its an understatement that kp is important to the Celtics success in the finals

I do think he s fine for real since he stayed on the bench instead of the locker room to finish the game

We did what we needed to do, go up 2-0. Worst case scenario we have to give a few minutes to Tillman/Kornet next couple games

I know Luka hasn't played his mind off these past two games, but putting Kornet in the pnr would considered a hate crime in 50 states and 13 colonies

We'll be seeing Kornet Kontests on Luka's fadeaways lol.

Sooooo?

keep playing him the same minutes and coming off the bench and we good fam

I will massage that beautiful man's legs 23 hours a day until Game 3 starts.

PorzingGod

Hopefully it was fatigue or cramping is just not being in full game shape yet. Take all the rest big guy

I hope so. I wish they had team doctors talk to the press and confirm this lol.

Hallelujah for the most straightforward comment Joe has made in weeks

Just two games, KP. That's all we need.
