With the Celtics facing elimination, Kemba Walker and Robert Williams have been declared out for Game 5 against the Nets on Tuesday, Malika Andrews of ESPN tweets. Walker (left knee bone bruise) and Williams (left ankle sprain) had previously been listed as doubtful. Neither played in Game 4 after exiting Game 3 in the early going.
We have more injury updates:
- Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is expected to return to the lineup for Game 5 against Phoenix on Tuesday, Dave McMenamin of ESPN tweets. He missed Game 4 with a sore left knee.
- The Mavericks’ Luka Doncic (neck strain) and Maxi Kleber (right Achilles soreness) are listed as probable to play Game 5 on Wednesday, Callie Caplan of the Dallas Morning News tweets.
- Thanasis Antetokounmpo isn’t doing any contact work yet but “he did most, if not all of the non-contact portion of (Tuesday’s) practice,” according to Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer, as Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel tweets. He suffered an avulsion fracture to his right patella tendon suffered on May 16.
Expect lakers to lose setting the table for lebrons eventual come back. League does better when lebron is in finals because so many hate him. The league desperately want an all la western final.
The last thing they want is a Utah/Denver WCF. The league will be praying for Phoenix and/or Dallas to beat one or both of the small market teams.
We shall see!! I don’t see the Clippers beating the balanced Utah! Lakers would be toast if Chris Paul 100 percent!
The Lakers are toast (burnt toast), AD isn’t coming back for game 6.
But congrats to the Mavs for becoming the second team in NBA history to win games 1, 2, and 5 on the road (losing 3 and 4 at home). The Rockets also did it to the Spurs in 1995 before winning the WCF in 6. Good luck Dallas.
Celtics are gonna lose. Kyrie wilm get hit with a other bottle and someone will have to explain it’s not because of race it’s because hes an @$$****
The Celtics are a dumpster fire of soft players that are also quitters. Blow it up.
I wouldn’t trust doofus Danny to do it though bring in someone new to do it but it needs to be done this offseason
Celtics to trade Kemba Walker.
Celtics: Malcom Brogdan and Myles Turner
Pacers: Kemba Walker, Romeo Langford, Grant Williams and a first round pick.
Celtics then trade Marcus Smart for Robert Covington and Nassir Little
Fill that in with a couple cheap FA and tah dah
1. Brogdan. Pritchard. Thomas
2. Brown. Bradley
3. Tatum. Nesmith. Little
4. Covington. Green
5. Turner. Thompson. Williams
Defence heavy team, offensively have 5 good shooters to give spacing for Brown and Tatum. Brogdan is a clear third option but a good one. Off the bench you have a good mix of youth and experience. Asking as Kemba is there they won’t win anything
… that’s why Pacers say no. Kemba is declining hard.
Great trade for BOS… dreadful for IND… which means is a bad trade, BOS needs to look for a trade that would benefit & improve IND, then it will be a good trade, as you put in there Russ is just plain awful!
May e a couple of first round picks then
