Joe Mazzulla: Nothing CHANGES Without Kristaps Porzingis | Celtics vs Heat Game 4 Postgame

MIAMI -- Boston now has full control of this Eastern Conference series, with Derrick White scoring a career-high 38 points on Monday night and leading the top-seeded Celtics past the eighth-seeded Heat 102-88 to take a 3-1 lead in their opening-round NBA playoff series.
Kristaps Porzingis suffered a right calf injury in the first half, which could impact the team's dynamics. In response to what changes if they lose Kristaps Porzingis, Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said, "We're bringing the same mindset, intentionality, toughness, details to the next game."

I hope KP is ok so even if we have to play Orlando or Cavs next round. We could still beat them while KP rest that leg if thats what he has to do. We still have good backups. Kornet has really played great all season and im shocked at his growth. Queta gives good mins and Xavier is a great addition. So im not worried about

Kudos Bobby. Now that’s fair, legitimate questions, the stuff fans want to know. Rest of media followed up nicely too. But Bobby for sure led the way. Good stuff. Point CLNS! 🍀🔥

How many times has Derek White been hit in the head the past two seasons without even a common foul called? Seriously is there a reason the Refs don't like him?

[@peterparris6688]

Cs it was a great team win i like the pace of the game switching up all of you’ll have to switch up not going under picks i like the energy ,toughness making that extra pass for the greater play most of all keep that attitude let’s go Cs stick to that game plan you’ll will be unstoppable I hope (Big man will be okay we can do it ☘️☘️☘️🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏿

Yeah, but Tatum and Brown don’t always play defense. They stand around on defense with their arms at their side which is not the way you play great defense.

[@xMaGuSx888]

This bonehead kept Tatum in the game up 20 with 2 minutes left, after he rolled his ankle. Tatum needed to be benched to rest his ankle and not risk further injury. I'm so tired of this guy at this point. And this was AFTER he also kept KP in after he clearly tweaked his ankle and couldn't move right. Only to end up really hurting himself even worse a few plays later. I don't know how anyone could look at decisions like this and not question him............ Edit- Excuse me, up 16 with 2 minutes left. And up 16 with 1 minute left. My point still stands, the game was over. Take your rolled ankle starter out before it gets worse. Why play him until the buzzer???

[@Mitch_Feral]

Tatum rolled his ankle bc Bam is dirty. Bam is dirty in the first minute of the game, and the last minute, and every minute in between. Tatum was in the game bc this team struggles to close, and he's the best player on the team, and struggles to close...you cant sit starters against the Heat in the playoffs. They sat guys, nursed injuries, took intense precautions, all season long; now guys tough it out, bc it's the playoffs. Watch a different sport.

[@kyle3860]

I agree with you that mazulla sometimes doesn’t take starters out quick enough but in this situation Tatum needed to be in the game. Miami had just cut it to 12 with 5 mins 30 seconds left. Not Joe’s fault.

[@ScottH.]

He should have benched Brown too. The 300 million dollar man was the worst player on the court for much of the game, and all his missed layups and turnovers were killing them. Tatum wasn't much better either. Brutal game to watch besides Derek White's performance.

[@Averagedre]

uhhhhh when tatum rolled his ankle the heat were on a run the lead was actually only like 13 that rolled ankle is what stopped the run tbh

[@xMaGuSx888]

@@Mitch_Feralhow did toughing injuries out work out for us in the past? It’s common sense. Playoffs are long. You don’t play hurt in rd 1 with the game already won.

[@vynncenttryllian9959]

of course this glorified mascot is allergic to adjustments and is hellbent on keeping starters in until they're all injured, saved again by his players

[@user-oj1zl1tc6d]

Mazzulla is not the answer for the Celtics. We will not win a Trophy this year with this Coach. We had succes this season because of our players and depth not because of the coach lol. Having a great coach is so important come playoff time and Mazzulla isn’t it. Wish we never let Udoka walk. Imagine if we had Udoka still as a coach this Celtics team would be so different.

[@G-DS413]

what's done is done, just be happy of what we have and try to have a little faith if you're a real Celtics fan.

[@curtislinden9297]

I just realized that fans who hate the Celtics and are publically pessimistic are really just so overly invested that, this way, they can never be disappointed in loss. They will always be better than the team. Unless they actually do win, in which case, they can enjoy the victory as a fan of the Celtics, while saying they were there all along and they knew they could do it, they just had to be hard on them, had to be pessimistic. I get it now
