it seems like Al Horford is often guarding Kyrie Irving on the perimeter. Weird.

Mavs win this game and next game and we have a series right?


I had the Celtics in 7, but I was skeptical about how Porzingis would play after the long layoff. When KP plays, they are damn near unbeatable when playing their best players 35+ a night. The problem of course was that even though the Celtics were better than the Mavs, if nothing else the Mavs play so super hard and are competitive. KP didn't play for 38 days and immediately came back for the most high intensity games of the season. Seems like he should have been on a minutes restriction from the get-go.


I heard there are an average of 37 diagnosed cases of his injury annually. They are going to be ultra sensitive bc it’s uncharted waters. Unless I missed something recently - he maybe out all series
