Celtics unbeatable with Porzingis?
that ass kicking that we saw last night in Boston Massachusetts the Celtics opened game one and sent a message to the Dallas Mavericks about who they are in this championship series the game featured the return of Chris STS porzingis who came off the bench to spark Boston scoring 18 of his 20 points in the first half Jaylen Brown set the tone and led the Celtics with 22 points while Jason Tatum added 16 points in route to a 10789 Beatdown of the Dallas Mavericks okay here’s the deal I’m looking at it from this perspective I got the Dallas Mavericks winning this series let me be just put myself on Front Street I swear to Lord I wish I could change my mind right now I’m not going to do it but I damn near want to for one reason and one reason only Chris DSP zingis yes Jason Tatum said the tone he was hitting shots he was attacking the basket had a spectacular dunk had a big time block of Kyrie Irving I get that Jason tat didn’t need to do much last night because the Boston Celtics had seven different dudes that hit two or more three-pointers in this game which was NBA Finals record you don’t see that of their 16 three-pointers divided by seven different dudes that hit three-pointers so everybody was hitting two three-pointers we got to take that into consideration it’s not about that everything changed the moment Chris stsp zingas came into the game through a roaring to a roaring Ovation by the way he’s 7 feet three y’all so he’s going to cause problems defensively when you’re driving to the Lane Kyrie Irving when you’re driving to the Lane all right Derek Jones when you’re driving to the Lane PJ Washington Chris Zing is going to be there because he’s 73 so that’s problematic in and of itself here’s where it gets worse porzingis hit threes plus he hit twos posting dudes all over the place shoving them aside and shooting turnaround jump shots and on top of it all when he wasn’t doing that you know what he was doing blocking shots and he was helping out on defense which caused some problems for not only the players that I mentioned but for Luca donic as well and so I look at it from that standpoint and I said at the beginning of the Season before it even started if Chris DS for zingis and the Boston celes are healthy they win the championship I picked the Mavs to win this series because Chris DS for zingis wasn’t supposed to be healthy they said he had an injury similar to that of Kevin Durant where it was a calf injury it was irritated and then ultimately he came back after weeks and Kevin Durant tore his Achilles so I said you know what he wasn’t a strong lateral mover to begin with Boston isn’t the greatest pick and roll defense to begin with you put Chris dsingis in those situations with Luca and Kyrie it could be a problem that’s how I looked at it and then this guy came out and showed us that the MVP wasn’t him the MVP wasn’t jayen Brown the MVP wasn’t Jason Tatum the MVP wasn’t Derek white or Drew holiday or anybody else the MVP was the boss of Celtics medical staff cuz this brother looked big time he looked like he h 100% and if that’s the case the Dallas Mavericks have no chance this series will be over in five they can’t beat the Boston Celtics in a best of seven series with a healthy Chris daps porzingis I don’t think that’s possible I really don’t I thought he was going to be hobbled at the very least that was not the case it was not the case

Why believe in these Mavs big men when they haven't proven anything yet? Washington, Lively, and Gafford are only a bunch of NOBODY'S! Compare that with the former Spurs role player, defensive champ, and the player who played the most games in the playoffs? Because of Luka and Kyrie? Once the Celtics can check these two, the game is OVER. To which they did.
Mavs in 9
Relax everyone! It’s one game. It’s all about adjustments.

Celtics are like a hydra. You cut off one head and another pops out. Very difficult to beat
Defence vs offense amazing series
Now you're right, the most is Celtics at 5, I dont think C will be able to sweep the Mavs
Mavs are good but i just think its a really tall mountain to climb cause Luka gotta play real defense in this series his legs arent healthy enough cause another thing lukas knee isnt 100% & u can tell when he tries to go plant that leg on defense to make a move its slow & hobbled
The Celtics are a better team than dallas even without KP. The NBA was a hodgepodge of a bunch of closely contested teams with thje Celtics above the rest of them all year long. I genuinly dont see how in good faith you could pick one of the most mediocre teams to make the finals in a very long time over a super team
Mavs in 6
I hope SAS switches his pick. Take that jinx shit elsewhere
even without porzingis celtics would end the series in 6. if you watch every game of celtics this year then you'd know..
Dont let the bettors beat you they paid this media trolls just think at how teams matchup well do the 2 players can beat a 7 man deep those otjer pkayers of Mav is all newbie don bet on them its plain and simple better team win not better players
The only way Boston could lose this series is if they become complacent and rely solely on three-point shots. Stay poised and ball! Celtics in 5.
All these U Turns lol.. You and Perk been so wishy washy with your Celtic hot takes all season 😭👎🏾 anyways Banner 18 Otw ☘️

damn the celtics kept it under wraps too made everybody believe porzingis wont be healthy coming into the finals. what a move
Series is over! Crown Boston! Save this comment!
Boston is like thanos 😂😂😂
Damn Porzingis was feeling it yesterday. That was a performance he will remember for the rest if his career. I enjoyed that game
Celtics have the best starting 5 in the nba and it's not even close, if they lose this series it will be an embarrassment.
Mavs 'may' have the better back court duo on Irving and Doncic, but if you know basketball, like really really really know basketball, as a collective — a team, Boston is way better in both offense and defense.
And good luck guarding a 7-foot who shoots at 30ft. with accuracy. 😊
Porzingis is the new face of the NBA 👑 he is the Finals MVP. Jokic and Doncic will be proud.
Lebron knew the gas and smoke he blew into Kyrie head would have an impact on him. KD knows it too
SAS never travels without his flip flops
Milwaukee would be in the nba final 😅If Boston never got KP & jrue holiday🙋🏽♂️
You didn't want the knicks to Draft him, i remember
Overreaction Stephen A returns
Celtics 9-1 without porzingis 5 ecf appearances without him respect the others as well I hate this shit
If Dallas wins game 2 he'll change his mind again..and so forth
Luka neeeeeeeds help!
Brad Stevens is a genius.
Delusional Mavs fans aren’t going to like this one
They flip so quick lol it’s one game dawg
#TingusPingus is helping a team win a trophy. 🏆
Oh boy everybody already saying Celtics after 1 game. Don’t make me laugh
I’m just going to put this here. The Mavs are going to win the next 3 in a row. And then it will go game 7. And Luka will tear their a** up in game 7. People forget Boston lives and dies by the 3 and they historically choke. Plus Luka likes this crap. I’ve been watching him play for years. This dude is not quitting without a fight
I'm just happy to see a black man like Stepeh A. calling a big ole' slice of Wonder Bread like Porzigis a "brother'.
43-14 with porzingis this season .. let that sink in Stephen A
Porzingis has been resting all the way from April just to stick it to the Mavs. I think without Porzingis Mavs have the edge but with Porzingis I gotta give it to the Celtics and I'm a Mavs fan, Tingus Pingus a beast that is sleeping most of the season but you got him awake at just the right time
