Porzingis hurt. Entire series just changed on its head. Mavs about to win it now if he can’t go, even if they lose tonight.

Yes! Kyrie is undoubtedly clutch, but he doesn't seem to play well when things are personal. Some players perform better in those situations, Kyrie doesn't seem to be one of those. Maybe things shift for him in the comforts of Dallas.

Prozingis missed an opportunity to break up the outlet pass than couldn't do anything to break up the oop. Yeah, he might be injured.

Derrick White gets away with so much fouling. Compared to like Jrue Holiday who naturally clamps without all the holding and hacking

boston boys ain't winning a single game in dallas if Zinger is hurt, this could be 2-2 by next week, maybe 3-1 in dallas' favor if Luka closes this one out too

KP's re-injury could alter the series. This could be Mav's window.

Right? She's stirring unnecessary drama about Porzingis with the injury talk. Anyway hopefully he's okay.

As they say in boxing styles make fights and I said the moment Denver lost that the Celtics were winning the title. Denver would've been a better matchup. Boston's depth will be too much for the Mavs and the Celtics have enough backcourt depth to not let both Kyrie and Luka go off in any one game

Things were very personal in 2021 and he played great. Jrue is just killing him

She’s right though. With a 50% Porzingis, this Mavs team might have a shot— both at this game and this series.
