Porzingis injuredā¦ is just porzingis being possum š, Mavs wont buy it this time. He will take acting to a new levelā¦ like look like limpin but will blow by his guard or shoot over when he can. Psychewar and mindgames on game 3. Also the great Bill Waltons celtic championship is reminiscent of Kristaps if he is indeed injured. RIP Bill

Boston will win even without Porzingis. And why does Perkins still have a job?

āŗ BAD NEWS ā
#1) Porzingis is going to miss Game 3
#2) Dallas is going to blowout Boston
Bostonās going to miss his shot-blocking, and his easy-going confidence. BAD. BAD. BAD.

Every time I watch one of first takes videos I regret it and think to myself why did I even bother. Way better to listen to JJ and RJ or JJ and LBJ to hear actual basketball talk, not just dumb narratives that hold very little truth

As tenatious as theyāve looked? Really? Boston has made 77-166 for 46.4%. Dallas? 73-164, 44.6%. So Boston has made 4 more shots overall outside three pointers and they look tenatious?
Look, Dallas has shot 43 freethrows to Bostonās 39. Dallas has missed 15. Boston only 7. Boston has made 13 more three pointers. Theyāve taken 27 more. Boston has out rebounded Dallas by two thru the first two games.
The Celitics might win this thing, they have a 2-0 lead, but it call all be traced back to missed shots. Kyrie is 0-8 from three point land. Dallas is shooting 25% from deep. Thatās not tenatious defense. Thatās just one team not hitting.

The Celts have a good chance with porzingis obviously. They got 6 guys that contribute to winning and not hiding in the moment. Same 6 guys can guard. 2 other players they brought of the bench are surprisingly not liabilities. Without porzingis, its tougher but they still have a path to win because the mavs offense is centered around their guards which boston can still contain. In last yearās playoffs and in some games this regular season, the times they lost were forcing the three, no inside baskets, brown or tatum turning the ball over. In the first two games, the addressed the first and second. They got a plan B when threes arent in abundance. So that gives them a chance. They havent addressed the turnovers by both guys but it hasnt bitten them yet because luka is also throwing it away.

Boston will still win. Let Luka get off shut everything else down. To much size.
