As a Celtics fan we don’t care about the conference finals we need him in the finals.
💯
It's gonna be funny coming back to this comment if they get knocked out in the CF lol. But I do hope they make it to the finals as a neutral fan.
We need him to ramp up a little bit though 15 minutes here and there for a few hames before would be nice
Don’t overlook the knicks or pacers
This is the playoffs. No series is easy at this level
If the Celtics can avoid dropping game 2, *again*, it lets KP keep healing.
Even if they drop game 2 they don't need him for game 3..
@@KyleJoseph-vo6vp I was mostly joking about again dropping game 2 at home.
I think it's pretty obvious it will be 1-1 after 2
He needs to get a rhythm with the team before the finals for those wondering why they don’t shut him down for the series.
exactly. Can't go into Finals cold off an injury sheesh
Big facts
he’s already got a rhythm
We need KP, even if we make it to the Finals we need him, we need him in the Playoffs rythm
As soon as the Celtics said his injury “was far less bad than we thought” mid way through the ECF’s seemed like a reasonable return date
KP is a must for the finals without him the Celtics chances are significantly less. The threat of a 7 footer that can spread the floor with a dynamic offensive skill set is huge.
S/O to the pacers & knicks for giving us extra rest 😂☘️
🎯
the series would’ve started on tuesday regardless of a pacers/knicks game 7
Shoutout for the biggest Mickey Mouse/Cake walk to the finals in NBA history 🤣🤣🤣
@@48waffles36 they ain't the Lakers bro
@@48waffles36 reppin the in season banner. Micky mouse banner. And 5 banners from Minneapolis. Levels to this son. Levels.
If the Celtics go up 2-0 in the ECF, just sit him until the finals.
Nah he gotta play at least 2 games before finals let him play like 15-20m
@@JeebyTube I’m fine with that, but I don’t want him starting game 3, playing 35-40 minutes.
Gotta get him back in rhythm with the 2. He needs at least 2 games
@@jasonavery why would they do that lol
@@JeebyTube By the looks of it, the pacers are getting swept unless the Knicks can pull a rabbit out of hat and comeback.
Good, they don’t need him vs the Knicks. They need in the Finals.
That’s true but I would like to see him play some in the east went conference finals to knock rust off
Just in time for Tatum to CHOKE
lol
With all the injuries, the Knicks might not even make it to the ECF. Could be the pacers. Neither of these teams are bums, if the C's don't take it seriously without KP they can a reality check real quick.
We don’t need him vs the knicks because they’re going to Cancun and we’re playing the Pacers
@@123443213099 Pacers can beat the Celtics
Its kinda crazy that a player of his caliber can sit out the conference finals and Celtics still win them in 6 games max. Only one stopping Boston this year are themselfs.
This is the reason I sceptical when we signed him. Such an injury prone😢
Get well soon KP❤
Sceptical about what? We traded an even more injury prone player for him.
@@undiscoveredstars1002 who? Brogdon?
@@TheUncancelable1Williams. But smart and brogdam had they injures too this season
@@TheUncancelable1 smart, missed more games the last 2 years than kp and was hurt all last playoffs, do miss him tho
@@undiscoveredstars1002 same
I really doubt KP's health. He only played a few games against Miami, and he got injured. He cannot survive the physicality of the playoffs.
It was a non contact injury. Had nothing to do with the physicality of the playoffs
Turn out the lights, for the Knicks, AMAZING GRACE HAS LEFT THE KNICKS SHOOTING WAY'S
KP is made of glass. Never there when you need him. Knicks, Mavs, now the Celtics.
He’s going to be there when we actually need him
KP comes back game 3 and ramps up to the Finals. We're good
I don’t think he’s coming back the entire ECF series…
It ultimately won’t matter. He will play in the Finals.
They got no chance to beat anybody coming out the West without PorIngis
Keep telling ur self dat fools like you just run with any thing the media say don’t have a mind of your self
Teams always force players to play in playoffs like clippers and 76ers i hope celtics don't do that when they know they can beat any of those two with the current squad
This.. this is why critics were skeptical on picking him up. Dude’s always injured
I’d still take him. Positives outweigh negatives.
Low risk, high reward. All they gave up was a 30 year old Marcus Smart. Without KP, Celtics are still a great team and with him, they're the best team in the league.
I would say his resting for big games.
@@Karimzkr don’t forget that we replaced Smart with Jrue Holiday, so we didn’t anything at all tbh
We don’t the 🦄 KP to beat either the banged up and run down Knicks or the defense-optional inconsistent Pacers. We should beat either team in 5 or 6 games.
Save him for the finals JB and JT can get it done I’m sure of it!!
1:53 tell me what this outdo song is please
BBL Drizzy
@@stephensmith6812 no that’s not it lol just checked
If Boston get 2-0 in Eastern Conference Finals Kristaps Porzingis need come back Game 4 or 5
He wouldn’t need to come back till the finals if that happens.
Dr J will always be a hero, but that doesn't make him a hater, He plays with sense of a MAN
Tingus needs more playoffs minutes in the ecf or he gonna be rusty in the finals
Marcus Smart is missed
As long as KP gets a couple games this series (maybe games 4/5) and then be ready for the finals. We ain’t worried about the Knicks or Indy. ESPECIALLY the Knicks lol
Ol Street Clothes Kristaps 😂
As a Celtics fan we need kp back
If they win the first 2 games, i wouldnt let him play in that series, never ever the knicks/pacers win 4 games after losing the first 2, i more likley to have a 100% KP in the finals than a 60/70% KP that may be get injured again
Green machine
Rest him the whole series. They don’t need him for Pacers nor Knicks
Yes we do he plays good against the Knicks and we need sizes for the pacers
Exactly, why do anyone would waste high caliber on minor opponents.
tbh if Celtics are facing Knicks in the ECF, they might not even need KP to win the series 🤷🏻♂️
They won’t need KP to beat the Pacers either
We need him in the finals ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
You don't play your best card in already winning game!
Do they call him the unicorn cause he's never seen on the court
Save KP for the finals…
KP is missed big time
Y’all keep saying they need him in finals… lol does not matter when he comes back… dude is a walking injury… I am not confident he will make three the “Finals” lol
😂😂Celtics bought a lemon with the 🦄
bruins are out.. Celtics take take this..
7 more wins for banner #18
Every like this comment gets I will do a push up
With or withou OG, well beat boston.
Bruh, how you feeling now? Couldn't even beat the pacers. Stop being delusional, you had a crippled team.
@@xMaGuSx888 agree. We were banged up but I make no excuses.. next man up needed to step up and didn't...we need another superstar to team up with Brunson..good luck bro!
OG is in somewhere Cancun right now stop it
No KP no ring for the Celtics.
Pacers getting railed next round
His name should be street clothes..
Just waiting for the finals. If Jokic goes home I bet he is suddenly healed
Kneesnaps porzingas? Nooo way hahahaha
Ngl if it’s not the nuggets Celtics can win the chip without him
Nuggets lost Timberwolves vs Celtics in the finals.
Lets be honest, ECF is gonna be a joke, the same way every match with the Celtics was. Knicks look good cuz the East is shamefully weak this year.
Softzingis. Baby him all season long just to get hurt in the playoff. Hornecek was right 😂
Bad signing
People wonder why Luka - Porzingis duo didn't work, this guy can't stay healthy at all, imagine him being your 2nd option and he sits 50% of the time.
It is not about the health between them. Porzingis just could not play well due to Luca's ball dominant nature. He played really well without Luca
@@swarajthapa5798let people make excuses for luka when he was losing with him lol
@@juwanharris5425i mean luka was in his 2-3 rd season, most players aren’t contenders and are still figuring it out at that time. cut him a lil slack
@nicotorres12 my guy you did not watch the games. his role on that team did not mesh with luka’s play style, so they ultimately separated. it’s as simple as that.
@@juwanharris5425 Luka made it to WCF as soon as they traded him lol
Nuggets winning again
2nd 😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂
Celtics can win the chip without KP
No they can't
Already knew this soft pony would get hurt when it really counted
He's always been made of glass... if knicks were at full strength he wouldn't even be a factor😅😮
KP finna cook if we play the knicks 🤯🤯🤯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
"If", the hospital knicks.
Poor Tatum the CHOKER needs more help
lol
You are so scared of the Celtics it’s almost comical.
@@MihoyMinoy-si8fb You are so scared of Tatum inevitaby CHOKING it's almost comical
@@Nostalgia9478 Oh yeah, you’re the guy who copies what people say word for word and repeats it back to them and you like your own comment. Sad existence…
@@MihoyMinoy-si8fb Oh yeah, you're the guy scared AF of your pwecious POS Tatums inevitable CHOKE job. Sad existence....
@@Nostalgia9478Dumb 🤡
Trust me. I am a bucks fan. He is not coming back
Prognosis is 8 weeks. KP is on a team that is built to play without him and they’ve done so, Giannis is on a team that relies on Damian Lillard defensively. Not even close to the same thing 😂
Are you a doctor?? 😂
@@makoygaara they don’t let people in Milwaukee become doctors, too much inbreeding
Thanks Doctor Henry the Fraud Physician.
Waste Of Money Signing That Scrub Celtics, The Writing Was All Over The Wall, KP Can Never Stay Healthy To Save His Life. 😂
man somebody got injured and the response is to call them a scrub? i doubt he wants to get injured or doesn’t put in the work to recover. you just get unlucky due to sports sometimes and being a big man makes injuries a lil harder to stay healthy consistently.
He played 60 plus game last season and this season. He gets hurt like most big men, Giannis, Embiid, AD! Jokic the only real big man who rarely gets hurt because he can barely run and jump! The hate is real lol I know KP and Celtics cooked your team now you hate them 😂
@@andersonbucker1856 Yes I Call Him A Scrub, Because HE'S BEEN INJURED HIS WHOLE CAREER.
Can’t stay healthy?
Or is Boston a superteam?
You haters can’t make up your mind.
Boston will never win a Championship with him. He's too fragile. After the season, time to shop him around. Why pay him that much to sit on the bench. Again, way too fragile. Horford can hold the shop only until this season. He's now 39 years old.
