I still don't think Niang should touch the floor. Even tho Merrill isn't hitting his shots, he seems to be the better impact player rn.
Tristan has given great play-off minutes this whole year so far. Honestly, would love to extend him another contract based on what we've seen from him here and in the RS.
With TT and LeVert, you've got a 7-man rotation. If you play Morris and Merrill 2-3 minutes a half (not together), that should be enough so that Niang doesn't see the floor again.
But I'll be surprised if Porzingis isn't back by Game 5, and at that point, it would be great to have Allen back.
The team keeps teasing Wade and Allen back and I think its a little bit of a game on the Celtics. Based on the reports, Allen sounds like he won't be back for much longer than him being day-to-day, but they've been pretty tight lipped so we will see. With Wade, it really seems like they want to get him some run here soon, but we will again have to see.
I am kinda just assuming they don't play this series. Celts basically said KP isn't playing this round which means I now expect him back for game three lol
