He's not just a role player.

Kidd and the Mavs clearly didn't game plan for Porzingis, on either end,

Exactly. Now we'll see what mettle the Mavs have. Will they fold or respond?

I was shocked to hear that 47% of the Celtics’ shot attempts this year were 3s. That’s nuts.

Brought more to Celtics in one quarter than to Mavs during his whole career there.
And after not having played for 2 months.
Crazy

Insane run from KP there. Mavs are getting sped up but that’s because of the Celtics defense

Porzingis has been a monster all season. All these Knicks fans and Mavs fans saying he’s soft and folds under pressure are hilarious. He’s a different player since he came to Washington and now he’s even better in Boston

damn. If Porzingis plays like this, series will be over in no time. I picked Dallas in 6 or 7, but Porzingis outplaying Tatum and Brown clearly puts a wrench in that. Like I said in who has better role player thread.. Porzingis is expected to be a star, not role player really. He’s basically Pau Gasol right now

People played up the Kyrie playing Boston angle, but not as much the Porzingis playing Dallas angle. The revenge of Kristaps!

KP is the gunning for that Finals MVP.

Porzingis going for finals MVP at this pace :lol:

Porzingis best Celtic so far.

durden_tyler · Post #300 » by **durden_tyler** » Fri Jun 7, 2024 1:05 am

PORZINGIS in the first quarter (off the bench too?): 11 points, 3 rebounds, 3 blocked shots! (4 of 5 shooting including 1 three)!!!

Who wins Game 1?
