🕵️‍♂️ Transcript:

[Music] can you say hard hats folks hard hats lunch P steel to a boots anything show of a championship this year is a failure look at this Boomer right here you’ve just got so much talent here somebody said we need to apologize for J can I pull the John what are we apologizing for what do we say what do we [Music] do hey Manning here welcome to a breaking news edition of The Garden report and with news like this we do go live and no Delle is here ahead of Chris porzingis season debut we got Celtics Clippers tonight 7:30 uh probably a week earlier than I anticipated Noah I know we both had a sense that this was coming very soon here especially after a strong scrimmage uh just a week ago today with the main Celtics there and again everyone who watched that scrimmage was blown away and the B out of that was that sooner rather than later we’re going to see porzingis I asked Joe yesterday has he been cleared and he wouldn’t answer and obviously within 24 hours he’d be back H so there you go you thought we’d see like a doubtful a questionable we’re seeing a probable here with porzingis and he’s gonna go tonight as our own uh cam from the uh from um Celtics Celtics wire out I’m not getting enough credit here he broke the news he broke the news five minutes before Shams a couple minutes before the injury report came out so uh that’s big this is big news to break so shout out to him and man I’m excited to watch him tonight I think he’s gonna come out guns blazing just like he did in the finals that’s how he’s looked in these workouts that we’ve seen yeah I mean we have no reason to think that he’s not going to because he has such a track record of coming back from these injuries and just being dominant off the bat um I will say like so it’s funny Bobby you weren’t on yesterday on the show when we were talking about this um but I was saying like I know he’s gonna come back like it’s gonna be any day now and Jimmy put me on the spot and was like say he’s coming back tomorrow um and I was like I can’t say that because I had no sources to think that but he was running up and down the court pregame he scrimmaged last week as you said everything all the signs were there that it was imminent um and it’s a good timing because Luke’s out tonight or he’s doubtful but he’s been dealing with something Al obviously played yesterday so this would have been a game where they’re really leaning on Mimi and and X um and now you get probably 15 20 minutes of for zingas I don’t think we’re gonna see like extended minutes for him um but nevertheless huge to just have him be impactful um and to just EAS him back in so much earlier than I anticipated I mean after summerly and after talking to Brad there I thought we were going to see like a post Christmas return maybe even January like that’s how conservative they were taking it so the fact that it’s 17 games in and they only have three losses is best case scenario yeah for sure and then Camp came around and they grew increasingly optimistic around that time I remember Brad saying that they were even a little bit surprised with where he was at to start Camp there so he started getting that sense and he did say in that ESPN story if he stayed ahead of schedule and he continued to push back and that was his thing and Joe has said it the whole way through that he’s trying to come back as soon as possible here November was in play and here we are November 25th uh him making his debut here so I haven’t checked back in with the doctormedical people here but you know our good friend of the show Dr Flynn when I talked to her around the time he suffered the injury here and you know underwent surgery she didn’t have concern about him coming back from this she said at the time that once you’re healed from this once you’re done with the recovery process and he’s clearly been done with the recovery process for a little while here doing pregame workouts doing a scrimmage last week like that stuff fall signal to me that he was cleared and good to go even a week ago so at this point it’s just ramp up and I know a lot of people are freaking out saying oh he’s coming back too soon why you rushing this I don’t think this is an injury you would have benefited from waiting longer if you’re good to go here like if he gets hurt again or something else happens I don’t think it’ll be because he came back too soon from this so I wouldn’t be too concerned about that the concern I guess is that it’s always something I like it was the calf in the playoffs and then there were just random things last year that would come up and cost them three four games here there there’s a ton of games coming up next week so they’re obviously gonna have to manage him generally because he’s just been hurt so much in his career and even to start his career in Boston but I don’t think if he does get hurt through some point of the rest of the regular season here it would be because oh they rushed him back I think he’s good to go yeah I completely agree I mean I think people feel nervous watching him play in general because every game that he plays he’s at risk of injury like anybody else but he’s at higher risk um but the reality is that if he gets hurt knock on wood it’s not because I don’t think it’s gonna be because they brought him back too soon it’s gonna be because he got hurt like it’s not I I think he’s been ready to go for a long time and when we heard from him I you know almost two months ago now at media day and he was he was like he made it pretty clear that I think he was feeling really confident um and that the recovery was faster than they anticipated and again like the six-month timeline is based on an injury that very few NBA players have had so we don’t really know it’s not like he had an ACL tear um and then he came back you know three months before most NBA players do like this might just be the regular schedule um so yeah it’s super exciting I think honestly like the season needed it a little bit like from a just from like a a uh what’s it called like a narrative standpoint there was a there been a lot of kind of like not boring games but not not the most exciting stretch of the schedule we talked about yesterday there’s not like a clear rival so presing is coming back is going to infuse some life into like I think just like the story lines the fan base it’s going to be super exciting to be in the building tonight I think his return is going to be electric so I’m really glad from that standpoint too and obviously Friday is a big game um with you know the NBA Cup on the line versus Chicago so I don’t know if he’ll be back for that but um I’m assuming that he probably will play because you know you have a couple days in between off here so yeah just better than we could have really hoped for everything up to to this point so far yeah the timing for the return here works out well this week next week they’re going to have to manage some stuff they got Cleveland Sunday Miami Monday some backto backs and you know like last year they staggered porzingis and Horford’s rest in those back-to-back situations or heavy workload situations there they allowed each other to rest through last regular season that’s of course what they’re going to do tonight here Al Horford probably going to sit out as he often does on the back end of back to backs uh Luke cornette still deal with that hamstring listed delil tonight and they’ve obviously worked Xavier Tilman back into the mix I wonder if this is why they sat Kate out last night anticipating that they’d need a little bit more from him in this game here as they work porzingis back in it’ll be interesting to see too whether he starts or not I’d have to imagine he does you think I think so he’ll probably start because it’s just the pump and Circumstance of the moment and you know then he’ll come out early if he needs to there’s a minute restriction or anything like that so I can’t imagine they’d start Tillman or Kate over him here in this situation so we’ll see they did it obviously in the playoffs last year I think that was a little bit of a different situation um but either way it’ll be pretty cool when he comes out there tonight but in terms on the court we’ve talked about it I think it’s the most interesting thing about his return here is that they’ve had problems defensively particularly around the rim and I think we’ve all chocked it up to like oh how much do they care right now one and two zingis isn’t there when he comes back a lot of this will get fixed so here he is he’s back it’s a team that’s pretty imposing inside with Zubat and you know Harden and Powell will be attacking him I’m sure and yeah they’re gonna go after him a little bit here just like the Mavs did when he came back from the injury in the finals so obviously I’m not expecting everything to be fixed here tonight but over the next couple weeks here do we do we start to see a difference in terms of their defense and obviously he’ll bring a new Dynamic to the offense but is he going to solve some of the things we’ve we’ve watched so far you feel like yeah I mean that’s the Hope right we’ve talked a lot about the rim protection um I will say diving into the numbers on this team and Sean Grandy um who does the radio pay play he had a great stat yesterday where he kind of showed what last year’s team was through 17 games and what this year’s team was um and it’s almost identical as far as defensive numbers offensive numbers Point differential record everything it’s actually a little bit better this season um so I do think that we’re we’re used to watching this this team dominate because that’s what we remember but they’ve actually been pretty good so far um and and part of the the defensive scheme is to allow you know to allow twos and to allow post players to guard guards like they’re accepting that um so yes I think he’s gonna help them quite a bit but I also think that they’re not in they’re not in like a tough spot here they’ve actually been better than I think maybe they’ve seemed like are I think I think the analytics look better than the I test does um but he’s going to be huge offensively he’s going to diversify what they’re doing I think everybody’s bored of all the three-pointers a little bit he’s going to provide like a little bit of a different Dynamic offensively um so there’s going to be a lot of fun things to about this his return honestly I’m really excited about just his presence the way that he connects with the fans the energy that he has out there I remember last conferences the press conferences give us a fun for zingis quote so he just brings like an an element of joy to this team not that there’s not Joy but he he’s just such a joyful guy that I think that’s going to be a lot of fun as well besides for the fact that he’s seven foot whatever and is going to deter guys at the rim and Anthony Edwards is an example of somebody who’s actually said porzingis deters him more than almost any other big man in the league as far as R protection so yeah I think it’s gonna make a difference in every sense you can already see how excited we are about it uh we’ll continue the conversation throughout the night Noah uh heading on to some other interviews and work here so we’ll let her go and continue the conversation with you guys here H good to hear from you know and I’ll see you I did call it off of Vibes thanks Bobby see you guys later so let’s get into uh some words from our sponsors here and we’ll uh keep chatting with you guys for a little bit because it’s obviously big news here today Chris Das porzingis coming back from his injury and right now over on prize picks I’m sure they’re gonna have some interesting numbers and Stat projections for porzingis tonight I can’t wait to see till they uh what their numbers are going into tonight points rebounds I think that’s always a tricky thing you know a guy coming back from injury how much is he gonna play how much is he gonna impact the team right away but that’s what I love about prize picks you can go over there see what they’re thinking guys are going to do you pick two or more players pick more or less on their stat projections and you have your fantasy team and especially now for football too it’s obviously Monday night uh your teams are all shattered one of mine’s two and nine or two and 10 now three and nine whatever it is how many weeks we played so either your team’s done everybody’s hurt and you want to still have that feeling of setting your lineup and you know making uh selections of guys who are going to do well each week that’s where prize picks comes into play here and they also have the injury insurance so you know a guy goes down the first half your lineup stays in play for the second half here so right now still offering $50 instantly when you play a $ five lineup so go check them out right now uh always a great time over on prize picks and I believe they have you know they’re always uh marketing a free square and that’s huge right because you only need to pick two here one free Square can make all the difference uh so there’s one coming up here on Thanksgiving on Thursday we got Dolphins Packers and Tyreek Hill only needs to get 05 receiving yards H to cat his free pick the free pick uh is g to be heading uh out on 11:21 so it’s already out right now point5 receiving yards for his projection to hit and if you get one more stat projection you can win real cash over on prize pick so that’s going on right now Tyreek Hill free Square essentially there as well as a $50 bonus when you play a $5 lineup so great week to try out prize picks right now uh and game time they’re in Boston tonight Celtics Clippers it’s a fun matchup these two teams have played really good games I know Noah was talking about Grandy there and some of the stuff he was putting out last night he has the Clippers at 9 and seven over the last 16 at the Garden I believe against the Celtics here so they’ve been competitive at TD Garden going back a little while right now I’ll try to pull up that stat in full here but it’s a big game tonight obviously porzingis coming back but the Clippers have pushed the Celtics and they’re playing pretty well even without kawhai Leonard right now obviously last year it was a debacle of a game in Boston where the Clippers ran away with it a little bit there truly the only time and the Celtics have now won 50 of 57 at home granny notes the only time they’ve been destroyed at home over the last couple years here is against the Clippers in that game but no kawhai uh Celtics getting porzingis back they’ll try to reverse that Trend a little bit and uh take care of the Clippers tonight convincingly like they have most of their opponents to start this year so uh you want to be in the building it’s a great one to be at I’m sure right now people are rushing over to game time and the other uh ticketing places where they can find their tickets and trying to find the best deal but the best deal is at game time why because they got all in pricing so you know exactly what you’re playing there’s always all kinds of Flash and Zone deals and you get a panoramic view of your seat which the garden not usually a huge issue but Fenway some of these other spots you can usually uh have some issues with obstructions or whatever it is so that seat VI is my favorite part of using the game time app and they’re throwing in $20 off when you use the code clns terms apply go over there and check that out see what the prices are going for here tonight I’ll try to pull that up too because again this wasn’t a marquee game kaai out backto back Monday night at the Garden but porzingis being active tonight now obviously going to be a much bigger deal so I would head over there quickly and see what you can get it for and as I pull it up right now there’s a balcony ticket for $79 to see porzingis play tonight that’s right $79 get you into the Garden tonight I see some 84 85 96 now that this news is out there I don’t think those ones are going to last long so again use the code CNS to let them know we sent you over there and go see porzingis his return tonight so continuing on here porzingis is back I just asked Noah you know the main thing I’m curious about here is he going to solve some of their issues I I I don’t know I I think he’s going to look good coming back I think he’s going to be a load offensively for defenses to handle we saw it in the finals after all our consternation about oh what’s he going to look like he hasn’t played in weeks and weeks he came back and had the best game of his Celtics career in his first game back in the finals there so there’s a gen adrenaline there there’s huge Stakes uh there’s less of a layoff than what we’ve seen here uh so this could be a bit of a different situation but one thing I’ve said as we’ve talked about him coming back is these pregame workouts the visuals were getting of him shooting around running around and he’s been pretty active in terms of his movements in those spots he looks like himself and I I talked to Xavier Tillman and the other people who watched the scrimmage and again he looked like porzingis was the main takeaway I got of that scrimmage a week ago so I don’t think there’s going to be any major Rush that we see from him but but the question I have here again is he going to solve the rim protection issues is he going to make a major impact on the defense are they going to be in perfect sync right away obviously these are things you’re not expecting him to do tonight or even in the coming games here but it’s been the conversation we’ve had they’ve struggled to protect Rim a little bit some of it by Design some of it by effort as Joe Missoula has talked about individual efforts defense L guys getting blown by perer and others have talked about that and Drew holiday mentioned a week or two ago here that porzingis is presence alone will allow them to be a little more aggressive on the perimeter allow them to know that there’s going to be that second layer of Defense behind them seven foot two or three guy behind them who can just rotate over reject shots and make things easier for them on that end of the floor so it’s obviously going to be a difference just having him in there over Horford tonight less kada less Tillman less cornette as he starts ease his way back in here so just steadier defense between the two main centers on this team compared to some of the de guys that we’ve watched to start this year and those guys did well you know I thought cornette was solid at the beginning of the year kayada obviously gave them a huge boost over the last couple weeks here that’s one thing I’m excited to watch tonight too is kayada and porzingis playing a little bit sliding porzingis over to that four playing him on like a Derek Jones that he can roam away away from and protect the rim those are some interesting combinations tman you know I’m sure he’ll still be in the mix a little bit tonight with Horford and cornet out so those are some ways you can keep experimenting to see all right are these good double big combinations that can survive on both ends of the floor obviously porzingis is shooting helps you with that if you’re gonna play a non-shooting big at that five spot like kada cornette uh and then you can just increase your size increase your rebounding ability you can make a more dominant effort on the offensive glass which is something that I feel like the team still wants to do a little bit better here so the possibilities are just endless and it’s going to be more exciting I think that was a good point by Noah that there’s just going to be some more versatility in the offense now you’re going to go to some more post-ups you’re G to go to some more pick and roll where you can actually hit the big on the roll for a finish and uh you’re going to be able to sh up some of the defensive issues that we saw to start this year and for our purposes we’re g to get some better quotes now because this guy is the best quote on the team by far and not to sell Jaylen short who’s been pretty good and was pretty good again last night uh but just such a pleasant surprise here when I did that reporting a week ago you know when I even heard some Rumblings this morning of things starting to move in this direction I was thinking Friday maybe next week certainly as as we got into the December timeline I was thinking next week would probably be the most likely time we saw porzingis but we’re about to see him here on November November 25th and that’s that’s pretty exciting so going to go to uh one more read before we get out of here let you guys throw in some questions final thoughts here in the chat while I cue this up uh and right now we welcome back to the Garden report a good friend

promo code is Garden gift to go get $10 off your first month subscription as well as free shipping over there so we’ll go to the comments and see what you guys are talking about here before we get out of here uh we’ll obviously be back with post game tonight reaction to porzingis debut we’ll certainly hear from him tonight and injury report I know it was our guy cam over at the Celtics Lab podcast here on CLS media who put it out there first that porzingis would be playing tonight that’s ginormous shout out to him and Shams came around did his reporting a couple minutes later plus the injury report which shows porzingis is probable this afternoon and Horford GNA sit the back end of a backtack almost certainly here looks like uh Luke cornette is doubtful as well so any questions you guys got any thoughts we’ll take them before we wrap this up head over to TD Garden in a little bit uh just checking on the 12:30 injury report that just came out Clippers haven’t submitted theirs yet so we’ll see who’s playing on that side obviously Ka out how many minutes I’m gonna go 1520 here not because he’s restricted but just from a conditioning standpoint I don’t think he’s gonna go full go this early on here um so I think that’s reasonable does he push to 24 or something like that maybe if it’s a close game and they want to extend him a little bit maybe um but I think 1520 is probably the best bet here and I do think he starts this one so kayada Tillman gonna have to be ready to fill out the rest of those minutes Kate of course didn’t play yesterday uh so there’s that how long oh I like this I was actually thinking about this how long of a win streak is Boston set to go on now with porzingis in the lineup so they’re five right their season High here and we talked coming into the season are we about to see a 2009 like start from the Celtics and the sense was probably not in my mind you were running back most of the roster right but porzingis is out obviously in 2009 you had the kg injury late it was going to be on the front end now that you were dealing with something like that with porzingis out so similar to that year that team started eight and two so they lost two games pretty quickly just like this team did obviously Celtics are at three losses now that team didn’t lose its third game until December 25th on Christmas uh so already one game behind schedule in that sense but that team did go on a massive massive 19 game win streak between the end of November and this the end of December so nearly a month roughly where they didn’t lose a game and when you look at the stretch ahead for the Celtics here I think tonight’s winnable obviously going to be a challenging game but I think you can win on at your home court with Kawai all that and then coming up after that it’s the Bulls it’s the Cavs we’ll see how the healthy they are Sunday that’s obviously going to be a tough one heat Pistons bucks Grizzlies Bulls couple bows games coming up in December so there’s some tough games there you obviously got the Sixers match up on Christmas and a tough trip to Orlando right before that so the amount of games that we’re going to see from the Celtics coming up a backtack obviously tonight back toback Sunday and Monday next week and then a back-to-back Friday and Saturday next weekend uh that’s that’s challenging and guys are gonna have to sit out porzingis is gonna have to sit out some of those so are we gonna see what was that record exactly to start 09 27 and two obviously we’re not gonna see that because they’ve already lost three games but I don’t even think we’re gonna see 15 20 games in a row here for them extending Beyond this five-game win streak I think the schedule is just going to dictate that and them managing guys and even the matchups it’s it’s a tougher League I think right now competitively than it was in 2009 so I think this will extend a little bit here I think uh you know you’re GNA go to seven if you can win tonight and beat Chicago on Friday Sunday’s going to be tough so that could be the swing game in this extending into something major year but they’re finding ways to win right now as we talked about last night last night was a game they easily could have lost and they they pulled it out late so that’s been the kind of team they’ve been early on and despite those slip UPS in a couple different spots especially the Atlanta game where you’re like all right this is going to be a 2009 level spot porzingis is return tonight as well as their ability to get back on track and some of these games makes you feel better about them having a monstrous start that sets them part in the standings as well as uh you know makes you feel pretty good about what their record’s going to be through the Midway Point quarter way point of the Season here so tough to gauge I guess you know to answer this question I’m gonna go seven in a row here um before they drop a game so would it stun me if they go on something longer no but I think it’s going to be challenging as you try to manage a couple guys right here um but I certainly feel much better about this team given what we’ve seen given this return even given the development in the East I thought the East was going to be better this year than it’s been and not quite so that’ll do it for us we’re back tonight and we’ll have reaction to porzingis his return I think Jon’s joining us no Jimmy he might come back later in the show to celebrate porzingis his return I think Shad will be back in the mix tonight as well and Noah of course too she gave her thoughts if you just join us on the front end of the show so you can go back and listen to that rewind the show start from the beginning and of course quick shout out to our sponsors prize picks
