Kyrie done for the year

[bksballer89]

they can push them. this team, can.

watch and see.

I agree.

Push, not win though....

 

[tlance]

I believe in the Wizards...in the playoffs at least. They're not a regular season team

At least someone here does!

I agree the Wizards are not a good regular season team, but I don't have a lot of faith this year. They could absolutely make a run because the East is wide open, but I am not betting on it.

I hope you're right.

 

[SJ76]

Doesn't matter.


The Rams will still trade for him.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Congrats Celtics you got a hell of steal in a trade, problem is he can’t stay healthy

Karma is a bitch Kyrie. Stay classy

 

[Rock Strongo]

I agree.

Push, not win though....

anything can happen in a game 7

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I think "100%" is a relative term.

Do you ever really get back to 100% as an NBA player after having multiple knee surgeries on the same knee? Or after you suffer an injury like Hayward?

1. You're back?

2. With Kyries style of play, having bad knee(s) is prob the worst thing possible.
So much herky jerky/ starting and stopping.

 

[trojanfan12]

It would have been a lot of fun to watch him and LeBron go at it, but it seems if that is going to happen we will have to wait for next year's Lakers vs. Celtics finals.

FIFY

 

[Shanemansj13]

Not at all. If I'm a 6-8 seed, I'm hoping for Boston. But at the same time, I don't expect any of the 6-8 seeds to win against Boston, either.

The Bucks, Wiz or Heat would be tough to beat without Kyrie and Hayward. Their best player is Horford

 

[Rock Strongo]

I hope you're right.

ive been following tatums progression...my boss and i are huge fans.

hes taking the same steps that jaylen took last year. high minutes, not a ton of shots...

but as the years gone on...stevens has taken the training wheels off. game 65 on hes had fewer than 10 attempts twice. over his last 9, hes averaging 13 attempts. thats up 1 more shot from the prior month, and 1 more than that prior, etc.
games 12-20 he averages 9 shots a game. hes at 13 now.

by playoffs, he will be 15+.

Tatum can play. Bummer he went to dook. Wonder if he thinks the Earth is flat too? Multiple players will have to step up come playoff time though.

 

[Gman]

Well... yeah, sucks. But my disappointment is tempered by the fact that the C's weren't legit title contenders, anyways... the Hayward injury kinda did in the season on that front.

So I'm excited to see what the young C's can do in the playoffs. I still love the C's chances to get out of the first round and be a tough out against any opponent that isn't Cleveland or Toronto.

Cleveland or Toronto, of course, would likely cruise to a victory over Boston at this point. Anyone else I think Boston can play wicked tough defense against and have a fair chance.

they are removing the screws. did you know that?

thats...a very...very good sign. means the knee is stable on its own. some people have them for life.

Irving will undergo another procedure on Saturday to remove two screws from his patella that were inserted in 2015 to repair a fracture he suffered in that year's NBA Finals. The team said a bacterial infection was discovered at the site of the screws when Irving had his most recent surgery, on March 24, to remove tension wire in the knee and that Saturday's procedure will ensure no infection remains in the knee. The wire had been placed in his knee during the same surgery in which the screws were inserted in 2015.

The Celtics said Irving's patella is completely healed and "remains structurally sound." Irving is expected to make a full recovery in four to five months, the team said.

I hope he stays healthy.
I doubt he will.

 

[bksballer89]

Not even sure Kyrie will be available for start of training camp

 

[Gman]

I hope he stays healthy.
I doubt he will.

Doctors say full recovery expected.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Doctors say full recovery expected.

Fully recovered from a previous surgery is quite different then staying healthy once you start playing again.
Ask yourself, why did the injury occur in the first place?

Kyrie puts a ton of pressure on his knees.

As I said before, I hope he stays healthy but I doubt he does.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Just a month or so ago many were saying how the C’s won big on this trade especially the fact IT and Crowder got traded but now it could be the complete opposite.

The Cavs now have Hood, Clarkson and Nance + a possible future star in the making with their top 7ish draft pick.

The Celtics have Kyrie on the sidelines.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Kyrie is 26

he will be having a 3rd surgery on the same knee on Saturday.

This is the 2nd time in the last 4 years he has been forced to miss either all or a substantial portion of the playoffs.

How healthy can you be as a guy that relies on cutting after having 3 knee surgeries?

 

[LogicMan]

Looks like Tatum and Brown will get alot of responsibilities, along with Scary Terry to be the offense in the playoffs. Tatum "looks" like he broke through the rookie barrier. We will see if he can show it yet when the pressure is on in the p offs.
