Kristaps Porzingis the key to Celtics returning to NBA Finals

JJ Redick can be extremely annoying, and one hopes he will tone down the obnoxiousness when he joins the live telecasts, but he's correct on how important Kristaps Porzingis is to the Celtics and why he makes them the Eastern Conference favorites. Of course with Porzingis health has always been a concern, so Joe Mazzulla would be wise to limit Kristaps some this final stretch of the season to help keep him at 100% heading into the playoffs. Xavier Tillman is set to make his Celtics debut this week, so that reinforcement should help the cause.

After the talk on Porzingis, Redick goes off on his former coach Doc Rivers, showing his full obnoxiousness once again. Reminded me of when JJ went off on Bob Cousy saying he only played against plumbers. Redick is supposed to have opinions, but it's the way he presents that I can't stand. To be honest Kendrick Perkins is similar, but he seems to at least be acting playful half the time. Redick comes off as a smug, know it all, dick.
