Title: “Stephen A is not concerned” Stephen A: “I think there’s a big reason to be concerned”
-
Porzingis should rest the entire 2nd round & even some ECFs games if he’s still not 100%, they need him available every game for the Finals
-
Stephen A "So when I look at it from that standpoint" Smith.
-
I’m a Celtic fan, but my attitude is that injuries are a part of the game, and you build your team deep enough to handle them. No sympathy, no pity. The roster is much deeper than y’all give them credit. Boston has 5 bigs and a 21-4 record without KP. They’ll be able to step up.
-
As a Celtics fan, no excuses. I didn’t wanna hear any excuses from Miami when they were yapping so I won’t give any now. This team was built for injury risk and their record without KP is great.
-
First take got me cracking up today 😂 “Take a leak” 😂😂
-
People don't understand that now the rim protection is compromised.
-
Garnett? Stephen A tired 😭😂😂😂
-
Aside from Denver, I think the Celtics are capable of beating any team in the league w/o Porzingis. Horford might be old but he’s no slouch and has been well rested this season. Tillman has proven that he can be a lock down defender in the playoffs, and Kornet is a tall dude who knows the Celtics system very well & has had a surprisingly good year coming off the bench.

"i could play for them tonight" 😂
-
mans really said “is anybody watching that series” 😂😂 unacceptable coverage
-
“Take a leak” 😂😭💀
-
As a Celtics fan I hope kp gets 100% healthy soon 🙏🏼🤞🏼.
-
When maddog asked if anyone watching Cleveland, Orlando series I felt that🤣🤣🤣, I'm not watching that mid series
-
the disrespect towards Nuggets and Timberwolves...
-
I hate titles like this. All they do is generate more hate and expectations for the Celtics.
-
I’ve been a huge Celtics fan for over 20 years, and I have zero confidence we can win the chip without KP. But I agree we don’t need him to finish off Miami or to beat Cleveland or Orlando.
-
Can someone please look back at Porzingis’s career and see how many times he has limped off court for the same situation we are witnessing now, Porzingis last season with the Wizard, he finished it on the bench, so this was seen from a mile away, the difference will be Holiday for Boston, meaning he now needs to be The Milwaukee Bucks Holiday in the playoff when they win, defensively and sometimes offensively when JB or JT are not getting proper shots, or spacing.

2019 Stephen A Smith: " Kevin Durant better play on his strained calf!! I'll never let him hear the end of it !!!!!" 2019 Kevin Durant: Tears Achilles; Misses 1.5 Years of Basketball (in the prime of his career) 2024 Stephen A Smith: " People need to be cautious about asking players to return from calf injuries " Sober, responsible takes are not Stephen A's strong suit.

I mean from an offensive standpoint there should be some concerned but the C's have 4 legitimate scorers outside of KP (Tatum, Brown, White and i'll throw Pritchard in that mix). I think they can find ways to get to the finals without him. Horford is just gonna have to step it up and they'll probably have to throw Tillman and maybe Queta in the mix. This might be the perfect time for them to get minutes
