KP: Well, we will see. I’ve been saying this all season long… nothing that the Celtics do in the regular season is going to impress me. Their season actually starts April 20. So, I have to see if Kristaps Porzingis is gonna be able to hold up health-wise. Is he gonna be able to play at a 20 and 10 status every single night? When he has to match up with a guy like Giannis [Antetokounmpo], is he gonna be able to hold his own because that’s gonna be key. And also, Jayson Tatum, him and Jaylen Brown, in close games, can they be those guys to close out those close games and be able to go toe-to-toe. That’s what it’s gonna be based on.
We know that they have elite perimeter play. We get that with Tatum, Brown, Jrue Holiday, and Derrick White on both sides of the ball, and then depth,,, Is Payton Pritchard gonna be that guy that’s gonna come in off the bench consistently, and be able to average 12 to 15 points in a series? Cause they gonna need him to. Is Luke Kornet gonna be that guy that they can use in the rotation, how is he going to hold up? So they have some question marks and they’re vulnerable in a lot of places. They’re so powerful in other places that cover the places that they are vulnerable in.
