Had not played hardly at all recently and took advantage of what time he got against a not so good Pelican team. I regular season game left. Hope he gets a chance to play and produce in the playoffs.

Gotta be frustrating for Luka. Start three or four games ago and now with Nikola back he sits. Nicola is gone next season. No future with him. The praise the Celtics coaching staff heap on Luka is pretty hollow. Actions more than words tell the real story.
They need Vucevic to be ready for the playoffs. They know that Luka is a guy that is always ready to play. So they sacrifice Luka’s minutes to try to get a guy that has historically been a better player going again for their playoff run.

This may be true and I don't want to argue that point. Just feel LG has earned more minutes than what he is getting. Yea I realize the rotation can go only so deep-just saying.

Interesting starting 5 today for the Celtics with the #2 seed locked up.

Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Nikola Vucevic & Derrick White rested & did not play.

Just as impressive as the offense stats…. Orlando’s starting BIGS went a combine 14-45 FGs. Not sure which Garza was primarily guarding but all three (including Paulo Banchero) had poor shooting nights and Garzas +\- was +13. Gotta give him some credit on D too!

The 2 seed Celtics lead the 7 seed 76'ers at the half, 64-46.

In 5 minutes played, Luka is 1-2 from three and 2-2 from the FT line for 5 pts, 1 offensive rebound and 2 fouls.

Tough shooting nite dooms Celtics hopes to close out 76ers in Boston last nite.

Luka played 6 minutes (4pts)as Boston used all three centers to try to contain Embid(33 pts).
Embid was just too big for any Celtics center last nite ...19 days after appendectomy and big fella is making an impact.
Series goes back to Philly with Celts up 3-2.

Guessing you’ve watched exactly zero minutes of Garza or the NBA this season.
Where’s that post you’re referring to where I said **** about Garza & didn’t even know he was with the Celtics?

You’re not a lying little b!tch, are you?! Because that would be super pathetic.

Repeating a lie won’t make it come true……but it does make you look even more pathetic! 😂 💩
You watching the Sixers-Celtics series, spaz girl? Who am I kidding, we know you’re not even aware the playoffs are happening. Back you go to whining about politics.
