On May 17, there was only one game in the league today, the Knicks and Celtics' series G6. Many fans may have known the result of this game. The Knicks easily defeated the Celtics and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals. From the first quarter of this game, the Knicks were fully fired. Facing the Celtics without Tatum, they quickly established a lead of more than 20 points, and the team even expanded their lead to 41 points.

Even if Tatum is not injured, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the Celtics to defend the title this season. Their strength this season has obviously declined compared to last season. Porzingis and Holiday have not achieved the expected level, and Horford is also old and only relies on the double-Tanhua to support the team. The result can be imagined that their five-star formation has disappeared and has become a three-core team. Many teams in the league have even better stars than the Celtics in terms of quality, so it is difficult to defend the title.

This offseason is very critical for the Celtics. They had previously stated that they would reduce salary pressure. The team would choose to send away which stars among the five stars is a matter of concern. Judging from this round of series, it is obvious who will stay and who will send away. First of all, the first one to be sure that they will be sent away should be Porzingis. Poor's performance was very poor in the playoffs, averaging 7.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 0.9 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of only 31.6%.

' performance is completely inferior to the level of the All-Star inside line. Although he has always used the reason to be sick, Porzingis has generally fought against injuries in the past few years, and his attendance rate is very low. That is, a team like the Celtics could afford him at the time, and the Celtics can't afford it now. He only played 6 games in the playoffs last season. The attendance rate in the playoffs this season is not low, but his performance is too eye-catching. He still has one year's contract, so it shouldn't be a big problem to send it away with a deal.

Horford has lost his value. What people are more concerned about now is not whether Horford will leave the team, but whether he will continue his career. This veteran in 2007 has tried his best in almost every game. If he and Porzingis change their age, it is estimated that the Celtics will still be very strong, but Horford is now 38 years old. Even if he wants to stay in the team in the offseason, it is estimated that the Celtics will not be able to keep him.

The Celtics next season may only compete for a playoff spot, and they may even choose to play for a bad year, because Tatum is injured and may not make a comeback next season. Moreover, it is hard to say whether there is a peak level after returning. After all, after suffering such a major injury, few players can recover from their health. If they choose to play for a bad talent to win a top three pick, they may rebuild.

FMVP Brown's performance in this round of series is also quite normal. Facts have proved that he is only suitable for being the second leader. He cannot be the big boss. His three-point shooting is too unstable, and his operational control is also very poor. He often makes low-level mistakes. His super top salary. To be honest, if it weren't for winning the championship last season, someone would still stand up and say that his contract is a premium contract. Prichard also did not have the level of the super sixth man, and it was not reliable at all when it came to the tough battles of the playoffs.

Holiday I don't know if he is affected by injury or is really old. His performance in the playoffs is not as strong as the dominant power of the playoffs last season. Whether it is the efficiency of the offensive end or the aggressiveness of the defensive end, it is estimated that the Celtics may also send him away in the offseason. After all, he still has three years of contracts of over 100 million, and averages 9.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4 assists and 0.9 steals per game in the playoffs. It is estimated that it will be difficult for Holiday, Horford and Posses to stay in the team.

This round of the series, it can be said that many people in the Celtics lost their value, but the only one of them performed satisfactorily. He is White. He proved his value. Since the first round of the playoffs, White has played a qualified third-in-class level. It can even be said that he is the best third-in-class in the league this season. He is much stronger than Li Li. White not only has both ball-off ability, but also has top defense, and has certain ball-handling ability.

Because of the double-team, White sacrifices the ball as a space shooter most of the time. He can stand up and hold the ball and kill when the team needs it. White has averaged 18.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.1 blocks per game so far in the playoffs, with a shooting percentage of 46%, a three-point shooting percentage of 38.5%, and can make 3.6 three-pointers per game, and performs very well. If the Celtics want to return to the championship ranks in the future, then a puzzle like White is indispensable.

The key is that White is only 30 years old. In the next three years, he will be the top puzzle in the league's front line. He even said that he can play a star-level performance with enough ball rights. Although White did not perform well against the Knicks today, considering his performance throughout the season, no one will deny his ability because of this game. Having said that, what do you want to say about White now? Welcome to leave a message for consultation.
