I'm a celtics fan. We have some really bad stretches this isn't over in the slightest.

Impact stats have rated Porzingis out as the C's best player this year, so this shouldn't be too surprising.
He's a very low minutes, high stat rate guy.

Dallas defense experienced the exact problems I predicted .
They reached the Finals with great helps and clogging the paint. With Boston you can´t do that.

He's been fantastic so far. Definitely wasn't expecting that from the last time we seen him in DAL.
I still think the series is a coin flip but damn maybe I'm wrong.
No internet in Texas?

The Celtics have 6 guys who are all legit above average starters and fit nicely together in their roles and positions and then 2 of them are actual stars with a third one in White or 4th one in KP that can legit outplay the 2 stars on any given night depending on matchups or rhythm.

I would not be shocked if Celtics got in a rut and Mavs came back or at least made it close.
Celtics have 5 max players on their roster lol. They figured it out. As long as they keep paying the crazy high tax bill, they can dominate the league for awhile. No other team has close to the amount of talent. Apparently the new CBA was build to try and stop super teams, but the Celtics have legit 5 max, or near max players. Its gonna be interesting how it plays out for them in the future.

Lively looking like a kid against a real two-way center.
