Kristaps Porzingis Is Making It Easy For Celtics Community To Moan About Playoffs vs Orlando Magic

Oh, how quickly the tables turn. Only a couple of days ago, Kristaps Porzingis was deemed a hero by Celtics Nation after he played through an injury scare and led his team to victory. He took a nasty elbow by Goga Bitadze that left a huge gash on his forehead, with blood pouring down his face. KP left the floor with a smile and returned minutes later to drop a 20-point double-double. “I love my WWE moments.” He said, unbothered by the pain.

But Wednesday’s hero turned into today’s villain in an instant. With the series heading to Orlando for Game 3, Porzingis failed to continue his form on the road. He struggled to find his rhythm all night and shot a highly inefficient 3 of 10 from the field, finishing with only 7 points. Not only that, the Latvian star failed to contribute in other ways as well. Despite his 7’2 frame, he grabbed only six rebounds and got zero blocks. A forgettable night indeed.

As expected, Celtics Nation quickly turned on the Center as comments like “Kristaps Porzingis is literally useless in this game! Why is he on the floor?” and “Kristaps Porzingis is actually the worst man alive” began flooding in.
