This Changes EVERYTHING for the Boston Celtics…
This changes everything for the Boston Celtics as the Boston Celtics have finally given an update on the Mi Kada’s injury status looking forward to the streaking Detroit Pistons game as they’re looking to win 14 straight taking on the Boston Celtics in an NBA Cup game. And what does this look like moving forward for the Boston Celtics with this Mias Kada injury as he has started every single game in that center position for this Boston Celtics team and has been nothing short of one of the most important players on this Boston Celtics team on both sides of the floor. Hello everybody and welcome back to another video here on Celtics Digest. I am your host Patrick Billings. And before we get into anything else, guys, if you love the content that we’re doing here on Celtic Sides, go ahead and hit that subscribe button. And I just want to say that I’m extremely thankful for all of you guys that watch our video, like the content, and always just engage with us here at Celtic Sagas as we’re looking ahead to Thanksgiving. So, I just wanted to let you guys know that I am extremely thankful for all of you guys that are just continuously giving us love over here. I truly appreciate it. Without further ado, everyone, let’s get right into this video. is this one is a pretty big one as we’re talking about Namas Kada and this injury that he suffered the other day in the Celtics last game as didn’t really look the best as it was a non-cont injury. They were calling it an ankle injury. Looked like he just tweaked his leg a little bit. Didn’t look like he turned his ankle but doesn’t look the best with how the Boston Celtics are explaining it. But this is just classic Boston Celtics just giving nobody any information about anything. They don’t want to tell anybody what is going on. I think it’s a whole game plan thing and just really rule them out closer and closer to their next game so that teams are game planning a different way. But in classic Boston Celtics fashion, Joe Mazula was able to talk about this as he said he hasn’t even seen or spoken to him. Um, this comes a couple of hours ago as well as we have gotten more updates since then and we will talk about that a little bit further down the line in this video. But this is something Joe Mazulo also had said yesterday and postgame as well. Um, he had no idea unless he has an idea and he just doesn’t want to tell anybody which is what I am leaning towards more. But they were able to speak to Sam Hower as well as he said that he is in good spirit today. I actually haven’t asked him how he’s feeling, but he looked like he was doing all right today. Um, once again, this is just the Boston Celtics to a TE giving out no information, but our guy Jack Simone did give an update from Hourback today saying that um there was no update again from Joe Mazula, but Nascada was there walking across the court. He was wearing his sneakers. Looked like maybe he was going to maybe get a lift in, but he did not practice at all today. So, some of the signs are leaning towards him not playing. And if we look from a quote from Derek White that he made it sound like Namas Kada is going to miss some time. And he quotes it. We don’t really have a guy who can replace what Nimi does for us. Hopefully, he comes back as quickly as possible, but we’ve all got to step up. And Derek White couldn’t have said it any better as Namas Kada this whole season has been incredible on both ends of the floor. Stepping up in a really big spot from somebody last year who was a third string big man behind Christos Porzingis and Luke Cornett and now stepping into this starting center role. Something that he hasn’t done a lot in his career. He’s done it more this season than he has done overall on his career before this season. So he’s really stepped into this big role on the defensive end. the rebounding end, on the offensive end, giving them a lot of just options down low and and just really playing good basketball for this team, playing that role incredibly as we look at some stats here as well um from the Mias Kada as they can’t live without him. Um the Mias Kada is a top 10 player in on and off the uh on and off point differential per 100 possessions, which a minimum of 200 non-garbage minutes played. He’s at the top of this list. And you look at some of the guys on this list as well, Nicole Joic being one of them, Aaron Gordon as well, Alex Caruso, Jaylen Suggs, OGN Obi, Jaylon Green, even Grady Dick. You got a lot of great role players and some stars on here as well. And Amas Kada is at the top of that list because of everything that he does on the boards. Even just defensively just really being that true big man that the Boston Celtics have been looking for and just been struggling to find and they found it within their system. And I couldn’t be any happier for Namas Kada for the season that he is having, especially with that big off season in Portugal. Just starting just being that number one option guy, somebody that this team can look to go to, and he’s really been living up to that role, but I don’t know if I already gave it away a little bit by clicking the wrong button, but that’s okay. But Namiascada is officially out for the game against the Detroit Pistons with a left ankle sprain. So, what does this mean for the Boston Celtics as they’re looking to play a really tough team in the Detroit Pistons in that NBA Cup game with a guy with Duran down low? What are we going to see? Well, we saw some Luca Garza practice film as he was working on his low post floaters. Just trying to get a feel of playing more down low as he is a little bit more of a stretch big now in at this point in his NBA career because he could shoot the ball well. But when we look at some of his college film, all he was doing was putting in work down low. And this guy could go to work. He’s got some great footwork. So, I do trust in him. But the one worry that I do have with this Boston Celtics team, and it’s been all season long, is foul trouble. And a lot of guys are going to need to step up like Derek White has said, because this team has been fouling at one of the highest rates in the NBA, not getting to the line themselves, which is the lowest in the league. So, they are giving up a lot of fouls and bringing the other team to the free throw line. while on the other end they aren’t getting to the free throw line. But at least they’re not turning the ball over as much. So one big thing that we are going to take from this is who is going to step up for this team. We got Luca Garza who is looking to start for this game against the Detroit Pistons. And then we’re probably going to see some Chris Buchet, somebody who’s gotten a ton of DMPS, but he looked at the beginning of the season like he could have been one of those starters in the starting lineup. Really hasn’t found that. But I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets some big minutes. looking at about 15 minutes a game and Josh Min they’re going to have to play some small ball with some of these guys and we did get some of that look against the Orlando Magic where Luca Garza did not play at all but I I really think the reason for Luca Garza not playing in that game was because the Magic were not playing a lot of guys on backto-back due to injuries so they were able to get better looks with the smaller lineup see what they have so they really took advantage of that so I think Luca Garza is going to be in that starting lineup with some Josh Minant we’re going to see some Chris Buché and Maybe some Xavier Tilman. Um we’ll see what how they work him in. Maybe run kind of like a double big with Garza and Tilman to just really get some help on that low post. But one guy that the Boston Celtics are going to bring to this game against the Detroit Pistons is Amari Williams. We’re finally going to see Namar Amari Williams on the Boston Celtics roster as in seven games with the main Celtics, he’s been playing really well as he’s been averaging 12.7 points on 10.9 rebounds, almost four and a half assists, almost two blocks with just over half a block, a steal, excuse me, a game. Shooting at 64.2% from the field. If you guys aren’t able to watch some of his clips from the G-League, I should really tell you guys to go and check it out to just really see the player that we’re going to see in Amari Williams. If you haven’t been able to watch him at all, he is a very good player and I think as he gets more time working down low, working on those post moves, he could be a problem because he is a really good passer and he really doesn’t mind having the ball in his hands. has seen a couple of his clips running on a fast break, dribbling the ball, kind of getting past a couple of defenders, throwing lobs, and that brings another option to this Boston Celtics team as we don’t know what this game’s going to look like, but if we expect the Boston Celtics to foul like they usually do, I think we’re going to see him and he will gain more traction as he just gets on the ball hard, just dives on the floor, plays hard defensive minutes because we saw Jordan Walsh take that starting spot from Josh Mina for that exact reason, seeing him step up against some of their big players on defense and just kind of giving them more options on offense, spreading the floor in the corner, even for a jump shot. I think if Amari Williams is going to be on the floor, being aggressive on on defense, grabbing those rebounds that the Boston Celtics desperately need, especially against this Detroit Pistons team, we could see some more Amari Williams and I would be pretty excited not knowing the timeline on Mias Kada’s return. And I think that this can turn into something good for a guy like Amario Williams and some of these other big men that haven’t had a lot of opportunities like Chris Buchet and even Luca Garza as well. But guys, that’s going to be it for this video. Thank you so much for watching this one. If you like this one, drop a like and I want to hear your comments on this one because the Mia Kada obviously has been a pivotal player for this Boston Celtics team. But what do you see coming from this injury? Do you think it’s going to be a while? Do you think it’s just a oneame thing? Let me know what your guys’s thoughts on this. And thank you so much for watching this video. I will see you in the next one. Let’s go Boston Celtics. Peace out, everybody.
