And they win by double digits
That's what I'm saying if they actually shoot well its a total wrap.

If the Heat puch it to 7 games he may come back this series but otherwise the Celtics are going to rest him. If the Celtics are able to end the series without him the second X-Factor is Cavs/Magic. If that goes to 7 games he could returnin Game 1 or 2. If it ends in Game 6 the Celtics may just see if they can beat the winner of that series at home without him. Either way everyone hoping that this injury ends the Celtics season is going to be disappointed.

The Celtics can still win short term without him, when he missed games in the regular season they were still pummeling playoff teams by double digits without missing a beat. Theyve still got Big Al who does a lot of the things KP does, just doesnt block as many shots and is much older ofc so he's not gonna be around long term. But they're still favorites in each game vs the Heat without him, and frankly they could and should beat the Cavs or Magic without him too. It's really only the conference finals and finals where they'd wanna be sure to have all hands on deck.

Close this series out tonight and get guys some rest. Let these other series go 7 games and beat each other up. Tatum playing on a bum ankle, KP needing all the time he can get to come back from that strained calf, and I'm sure other guys are banged up.
The Heat are missing some players as well, so this is our night to close it out at home.

It was just a matter of time before one of porzingis’s leg fell off like an overused action figure. Lucky for them they have a bye this round playing against the horrible butlerless heat

No Jimmy, Rozier, Jacquez, or Richardson... 4 guys they expected to be in their playoff rotation.
HEAT will still play with class and effort, but they need to be put out of their misery already.
I'd like to see this team shaken up now that Riley will be retiring.

Altho Boston will beat whoever they play next, I think matchup wise it’s gonna be more interesting. Miami is basically just a worse version of Boston. Stylistically theyre very similar.
Orlando and Cleveland are younger, more physical, more athletic. Neither is gonna have a chance, but itll be interesting to see the contrast in styles and how much they can push Boston with it.

Credit to the guys for taking a game off this juggernaut despite being incredibly underhanded. All that could be done really.

So it's fair to say both teams are hobbled. Just that one of them is obviously much worse.
