What if Porzingis is the best player in the finals? Does he deserve to be named finals MVP after missing the majority of the playoff?

I know this a joke, but that's kind of a big deal sometimes in NBA. Getting momentum at the end of a quarter/half can change a game. Not to say the Mavs will win this game, but it happens

Only 5 assists for the Mavs on 18 made baskets. Making a few more threes would have helped but not enough.

Yes, it's finals MVP, not Playoffs MVP

When? The last second possession? He was distributing the whole half.

The last few minutes was him ruining the flow of the offense and chucking up 3's.

Tatum continues to fool y'all. Watch him he's not locked in on defense like everyone else.

Celtics also employing the OKC defensive coverage and PJ/DJJ have not hit the open 3s.

Mazulla just playing the math game.

Celtics are OKC but with a worse star and a way better supporting cast.

If Chet could punish switches they would have won. KP post ups are just money.

Halftime line (If you're a Dallas believer you might want to jump on this line now):

Mavericks +16.5 | O/U 210.5

Man I missed basketball. This off-season is gonna be serious withdrawal.

NBA comes back from commercial break and Wilbon's old ass is playing with his cell. So damn unprofessional.

I see why KP was so coy when asked if he’s at 100%…because he is at 120%!!!

No that was just Tatum being overrated.

Ball hog and no defense. Everyone else is playing both sides of the ball.

Brown>Tatum I will die on that hill.

This is why I come here. What an analysis.

A lil over the top sure, but Tatum once again isn’t playing up to his “level”. Or maybe this is his level. Imo he is not and cannot be your #1 player. Luckily for him he has Brown and a heck of a complete team around him. He cannot carry a team. Never shown it

Celtics are destroying Mavs and that’s the takeaway?

You want to bet that it won't continue?

KP has been playing like this all year, and proves who hasn't watched him do it.

lol if he was playing like this the whole year, he would have had the best season ever and won the MVP in a canter so obviously you're trolling.

He’s been incredible all year. Elite efficiency. One of best post up players in NBA. He does this all the time. No, he won’t go for 40. But he will have a 30 point night.

He averaged 20 ppg, shot 38% from 3 on very low shot attempts for him.

Who wins Game 1?
