The Celtics does not need Porzingis to play like a superstar for the entire game, just a quarter would be enough.

weird moves by the refs. Non shooting foul for Tatum but KP gets one for DJJ with the hands up.

Mavs haven't scored in 3 minutes. They keep coming cold out of TOs. Something to watch

I commend Luka for giving it a go, but he looks so hobbled.

Kleber has been getting owned, being made to look like he doesn't belong on the floor.

Too many Celtic fans to respond to but the Mavs are getting similar contact on the other end too...

It’s also 4-3 foul count. Can’t really argue with any call so far

When you give Tony Brothers the peace of mind of no challenges remaining.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Tatum got robbed twice on foul shotsm, and then Doncic gets 2 fouls shots. But ball don’t lie.

Am I crazy or is Luka gassed halfway into the first quarter?
