[King] Kristaps Porzingis did everything with the Celtics at practice today, said Joe Mazzulla. Mazzulla said today was relatively light and the team will do more tomorrow, so seems like that could be a bigger test for him physically.

If KP is healthy for the finals it’s gonna be a really interesting matchup for lively. I can’t wait
Goddamn game 1 it is
Seems pretty obvious that they looked at the East and decided to load manage him for 3 rounds lol
KP will make the Mavs big guys headache not like the last series with the Wolves.
The “no-actually-missing-your-stretch-5-who-averages-20pts-8reb-2blocks-doesn’t-matter” crowd is about to have a brutal two weeks.
Ps: good luck Gafford.
Finals MVP. Speak it into existence.
He went all the way, huh?
Guessing KP will be out of the series by game 2.
this man spent a season and a half on the Wizards and just got backpacked into the Finals without even playing 2 rounds, he can’t believe this is his life rn
With KP healthy the Celtics are too stacked. Mavs need the Celtics to choke and/or Luka to be historic for them to win
We need him. Love horford but I don’t see him keeping up with the Lob threats of Gafford and Lively. Going to be an interesting series. I hope Jaylen keeps him composure like he did these last 2 rounds and Tatum keep being aggressive, don’t settle for the contested step back 3s please. Luka is going to punish us for sure but we have to keep a tight leash on Iriving, don’t let him catch a rhythm
Joe Mazzulla tomorrow: Yeah you know he practiced but really any of us could die at any moment. Who knows if he’ll ever walk again!
hoping he comes out looking like Kawhi in round 1
BREAKING: Love triangle in Boston? How a certain someone’s dramatic reappearance may reignite Brown’s wandering eyes and burn Tatum’s final straw.
I wouldn’t want to predict anything, but as a Dallas player, every time he came back from injury, he always took at least 1 month to get into competitive shape! We’ll see……whether KP will be a plus or a minus in Boston’s game!
Ignoring winning I’ve just missed him out there from a pure entertainment perspective. He adds elements to the C’s offense that are a lot more dynamic. For example, has a quick trigger 3 that he’ll launch from extra deep to maximize his height advantage over smaller perimeter defenders, neutralizing closeouts. That’s ofc a huge boon to effective offense, but also it’s just fun to see a 7 footer do his best Trae Young/Damian Lillard/Steph Curry impression (albeit mostly on catch and shoots lol).
Probably best to make him come off the bench game 1 then if everything is good start remaining games.
Ultimate sick joke of the universe if KP becomes healthy against the Mavs in time to become a difference maker.
Good news. I hope KP is 100% so we can see these teams duke it out at full strength
Finally earning his pay
