The reason for the weakening of the Celtics has been found! From the third leader to the seventh player in the team, he should be traded this summer

On May 11, the NBA playoffs continued. In a game that just ended, the Knicks lost to the Celtics 93-115. After winning this game, the Celtics finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had lost both of their home games to their opponents. If they lost this game again, they could basically declare the end of the season. After all, there is no team in history that can be reversed by falling behind 0-3.

In this game, the Celtics did not change their offensive style. They still chose to believe in their three-point firepower. In this game, the team made 20 of 40 three-pointers and shot directly down the Knicks. Among them, the sixth player in the substitute, Prichard, made 5 of 10 three-pointers and scored 23 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Since Holiday's unstable performance this season, Prichard has received more opportunities, and he has also proved how outstanding his firepower is.

In this game, the Celtics made changes on the defensive end. They began to slash Mitchell Robinson in various ways. The reason why the team did this was to imitate Cole against Adams, but Miro and his free throw ability were not as good as Adams, so the Celtics' tactics worked. The Knicks were cut again and again, and their offense also stagnated. Miro made 4 of 12 free throws in the game, and even made three free throws, which was quite eye-catching. It is estimated that Thibodeau would make adjustments in the end, otherwise Miro would be targeted by madly.

The Celtics performed well in double-team in this game. Tatum made 8 of 20 shots in the game, scored 22 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists in 9 three-pointers, Brown made 7 of 18 shots in the game, scored 19 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists in the game. The terrible thing about the Celtics team has never been a double-team, but a five-star lineup created by Stevens. They were able to win the championship last season. The three All-Star players of Posses, Holiday and White, as well as the veteran Horford, played a great role. There are 5 people selected for the All-Star player.

Their fault tolerance rate is so high that they can easily win the championship because of the double-Tanhua shots. However, the Celtics have become weak this season. Who is the reason for this problem? I think it's Porzingis. Although Holiday seems to have lost his peak this season, he still has oil in the fuel tank. He can still help the team at a critical moment. In this game, he scored 8 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.

Porzingis is now helping the team less and less. Last season, he was the third core of the team, the team's inside gate, and he has absolute ball rights. After all, he is 2.21 meters tall and serves as the fifth position in the space. The opponent has no way to limit his shots. Whether he is in or not depends entirely on his own feel, and his ability to protect the frame is very outstanding. As a result, he has become the seventh player in the team this season, and even if he enters the bench, it is only the second choice.

Porzingis played in this game for only 18 minutes, scoring 0 of 3 shots, scoring 5 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks. So far in the playoffs, Porzingis has averaged 9.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1 assist, 1.1 steal, 0.9 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 33.3%, 15% of three-point shooting percentage, and averaging only 22.8 minutes per game. This is not like a performance from a three-man leader? It is reasonable that Porzingis was demoted by Mazula this season, but his performance was too eye-catching.

Porzingis talked about his poor condition in an interview. He said that he had encountered an unknown virus and still had sequelae. According to famous reporter Shams, Porzingis recently received intravenous treatment to enhance immunity to recover. As for now, he has not recovered yet. In fact, no matter whether Porzingis is really affected by the virus or not, I think if the Celtics want to reduce their spending in the offseason, then Porzingis is the most important one to leave the team.

Previously, the US media reported that the Celtics were interested in giving up one of Porzingis and Holiday in the offseason. Holiday is indeed older and he may lose his peak faster. But everyone has also seen the problem of Porzingis. His biggest problem is not that his poor performance in the playoffs this season, but that he has been suffering from various injuries. The team was able to win the championship last season. Do you think he has made a lot of efforts? He only played 6 playoff games in total.

Since joining the Celtics, his attendance rate has been very low. To be honest, it was only last season that a strong team like the Celtics dared to let a star with an annual salary of 30 million yuan stop like this. Boss played 57 games last season and 42 games this season. Next season, the Celtics will have five players with an annual salary of more than 28 million, and the team's total expenditure will exceed 500 million. In this case, the Celtics have to consider their reduction in spending during the offseason. As for whether the team can continue to retain the level of championship competition, it depends on the operation of the Young Coach. After all, his operating ability is indeed very outstanding.
