Boston can return the entire team. They’re going back to back for sure

Stating the obvious but Boston just has so many good players. They'd be a playoff team even without Tatum and Brown.

Getting Porzingis back is a game-changer.

Terrible matchups by Kidd. Why is Hardy on KP?

Isn’t that all Boston does is spam 3s? Thats their criticism for several years. They can just as easily get cold. Porzingas is the one guy that gives their offense a different look. So far that matchup is massively on their side.

In the argument of rust vs rest, KP is showing rest wins.

Dallas is switching far too easily. KP is killing these smaller defenders

Boston have significantly more experience than Dallas. They've been in 4-5? conference finals and this is their second finals as well.
