I think they have a tough time in the Finals without him. Unless we have Game 5 Horford putting the roof on people and nailing threes.

Don't play him in the ECF unless the Celts fall behind in the series, or if it's a closeout game.

I'm not confident that we'll be able to rely on him at all at this point. I'm at the stage of hoping we just get the Mavs instead of Nuggets or Wolves because I just don't see him coming back and being useful. We'll see though.

You should have been at this stage regardless tbh.

not my take -- I would hate to lose to Fat Luka and Kyrie. Even if the odds of victory *might* be greater against that opponent, I just don't want to see it.

His presence will be most important vs Gobert. That's a real mismatch against the Wolves, force him to defend outside the paint.

So many freaking doomers. Nuggets lost and now it’s a relatively easy path.
Porzingis will be back game 3. He’s been doing some half court scrimmages, running and riding the bike. He’s close to return.
Pacers have no shot beating us. I think a sweep is likely.
In the finals, Wolves are toast against a 5 out offense. Yeah sure McDaniels is scary but Gobert, KAT, Conley, NAW will all be mismatches for Tatum and Brown.
Mavs would get their clock cleaned, possible sweep.
