Hit on the Porzingis latest with @Herring_NBA today.
Whether he’s starting or coming off the bench, I continue to believe the #Celtics need him available to win a championship this year.
He’s probable tomorrow. pic.x.com/AczoM5041u9:03 PM

Hauser is doubtful for G2. Porzingis is probable – 5:10 PM

Horford said Porzingis’ absence impacted the Celtics. – 1:27 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Kristaps Porzingis was feeling a little better with the illness today. He’s day-to-day. Hauser is day-to-day with the ankle. – 12:59 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
#Celtics badly needed the relief Kornet/Porzingis could’ve provided behind Knicks’ pressure on the ball-handlers. Kornet lost to fouls. Porzingis to illness. 5 out just ended up being flatter. pic.x.com/W06hD0Ctpp3:11 AM

Wonder how much C’s expected to see Bridges switch onto KP the way he did early out of screens. pic.x.com/SL26Adr8iM2:16 AM

Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
The wide open 3 stat makes me feel better about the shot selection overall but not the ones late in the 4th. Overall, rebounding, ball control and other small details along with handling physicality have to be much better. KP/Hauser stuff is worrisome. – 11:04 PM

Celtics tonight:
— 45 missed threes
— Brown 7-20 FG, 1-10 3P
— Tatum 7-23 FG, 4-15 3P
— White 6-18 FG, 5-16 3P
— Kristaps 13 minutes played
Only lost by three. pic.x.com/wL1mbh7RRF10:04 PM

David Aldridge @davidaldridgedc
I know it’s a seven-game series, but as poorly as Boston has shot from deep, along with Porzingis being out most of the way, this feels like a game the Knicks have to pull out. – 9:16 PM
John Karalis @John_Karalis
The Celtics are shooting 26% from 3 and they’ve gotten nothing from Porzingis and they’re up 20 on the Knicks – 8:42 PM

Porzingis is walking out for second half warmups – 8:29 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
It looks like Porzingis is in the locker room. Didn’t see him go off but he was talking to the training staff earlier this half. pic.x.com/oEBtRaRbrP8:12 PM

Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Good P&R action by Holiday and KP there. #Celtics have to get Porzingis going off movement like they did in G4 last series. – 7:48 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
4 passes to Porzingis inside have resulted in 2 TOs and 2 misses. – 7:25 PM

Porzingis’ struggles against physicality continuing from R1.
Kornet giving him a breather after a 0/4 Porzingis start. – 7:24 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Towns and Porzingis just embraced at half court. They talked glowingly about each other leading up to this series. – 7:06 PM
