4/29: Game 4@Miami
- Thread starter RorschachsMask
- Start date
I feel like this team can still fairly easily get out of the East without KP, so kids gloves please
He had ice on his leg earlier and he’s got his leg taped up. So, maybe? Looked bad though.
I would be fine with seeing both of them get minutes in the second half. And for Hauser to get back to hitting some 3s.
I'm guessing (hoping?) calf strain. Problem with that is it exposes the achilles to injury until fully healed. They need to win this game, take care of business at home and get him some time off.
Win tonight and then wrap it up in 5. And then have Cavs/Magic go the full seven.
Didn't see that but let's hope that is all it is. Sure didn't look like that was the actual injury though.
Did he do something on an earlier possession? It seems like there’s absolutely nothing there.
Yeah, there was no reason to force Porzingis to come out, he looked like he rolled his ankle a little and was working it out, happens literally every couple of games with guys.
As to what that was when he came out... didn't look like an ankle, but could be anything from a cramp to a strain to an achilles tear, no real way to tell. Though he didn't go down, which makes me a bit more optimistic.

KP sure seemed like he thought it was bad. I know he's no doctor either, but it does not encourage me.
Man am I trying to think positive thoughts

Problem with that is we had the late starting series and 3 days off between games so the other series are a game ahead. Not much time between series.
I don’t think that many would disagree that Horford is a better defender than Porzingis. He should take as much time as he needs to heal but hopefully it’s less than a month.
Defense has been really good outside of some early casual closeouts (which Miami missed).
Also (and not directed at you bsb) can we stfu with injury doomsaying? Who cares how he reacted? How often do players limp off the court with glee?
Yea they showed it a few times, he twisted his ankle the first time he grabbed his leg
Yeah this says left ankle which probably was what originally happened the first time he came up gimpy. The second one is his right and much more concerning.
That won’t continue. Celts had 14 points in the last 10 minutes. They continue like that they will lose.
Silver lining I suppose is that "doubtful to return" is infinitely more hopeful than "out."
4-14 from Brown and Tatum and we're up 17. Progression to the mean there would be nice, and would mean game over.
Right but the second time wasn’t his ankle though. That was calf or Achilles. He was fine after the ankle turn then the non-contact pull up happened.
The only reason the Celtics look out of sorts is because every dickhead in a white jersey thinks he's Bill Laimbeer. And while the refs can't call all of them, they're calling enough to give Boston an 11 free throw advantage. Miami is not in control here.
This is a sincere question… when Miami goes unconscious from 3 I read a lot of “what can you do?” type comments. But now when they’re 3-16 they’ve been “held”.
So what is it? Do the Cs affect shooting, or is it all “make or miss”?

I wasn't watching live. Some twitter replays showed a rolled ankle, which wouldn't be too bad assuming no fracture. We would mostly likely be OK if he's out 10-14 days.
Obviously a fracture, high grade calf strain, or Achilles injury would be no bueno.
He seemed pretty upset which isn't a great sign, let's hope he didn't feel something pop or snap. On the bright side, he did make it off on his own without going down right?

If Boston is contesting the way they should be and the shots are going in, there is in fact nothing else we can do. But that's not what happened in Game 2 (or even last year) when it seemed like they couldn't miss.
If it's a calf strain you're probably looking at 1-2 weeks if it's mild, 3-6 if it's serious
Edit- Giannis has a calf strain and has been out 20 days as an example
