I'm very interested to see how effective Porzingis is out there. Al has been so good lately, I don't want them to push him too hard because I don't think they need to. 20-25 minutes is all they need from him I think.

Game one win or lose may only change it from a 6 game series to a 7.The long layoff and how does it affect the Celtics? Not really sure at all, my best guess is they start slow while they usually get off to great starts so somehow hopefully that trend somehow continues. If they get off to a slow start tonight I fear Dallas may win and Doncic and Irvingare both capable of making crazy game winning shots, however the Celtics are simply the better team. The Unicorn makes the Celtics a 3 headed beast that Dallas cannot match. A beast that lead the Celtics to winning the East by 14 games and the league by 8 and it was no fluke, hell they should have won a few more games. About 2 dozen different measures not only have this Celtics team as the best team this year but on track for consideration of one of the best teams ever, but that statement will only matter when they win their 18th banner. If other words it would be like the 2018 Sox losing or the 2007 Patriots losing, well crap they actually did loss in the finals are an undated season. Thats the approx. bar for this team make no mistake about it. Know, way to many crap on the Celtics for past playoff loses in the Semi Finals and Finals. Thats BS trolling for headlines and/or actual idiots. Tatum is actually one of the most successful players at his age in the leagues history. Hell Jordan never beat the Celtics led by Bird, so put that one in your pipe and smoke it. Make no mistake this is their year, the year the Celtics put their name and their name alone at the top of the league as the best franchise in the history of the league. LFG.

The LA Lakers claiming 5 championships from the Minneapolis Lakers total is so bogus, but that's a discussion for another day.

I like bringing Porzingis off the bench.
I'm so sick and tired of people talking crap about Celtics, yet zero talk of Leonard getting injured. Time to shut up these crazy haters!

A few years ago prior to the start of the finals I had a feeling that the Warriors would end up taking the series, mainly because the Celtics had a tough path through the east that season and the dubs had experience on their side. This year, I honestly have no clue what’s going to happen. My heart says Cs in 6, but I can’t deny how well the Mavericks have been playing in the postseason, and that extends beyond just Luka and Kyrie. Should be a hard fought series regardless of the outcome. Let’s do this!

Play Al for 28 minutes and The Porzingod for 20. No need for double bigs lineup in the first game. Don’t double Luka. Send Kyrie to Jrue hell. Let’s f*cking do this!

Celtics need to play fast and make Luka and Kyrie work and not get to sit on defense.

Good early stuff, forcing the Mavs to take nothing but hard shots.

It's certainly nice to have KP back. Balling on both sides right now.

So many open shots and mismatches for the Celtics. If Luka’s shooting returns to below league average this could be a short series

Current Celtics team is like a final boss that gets bullsh*t in the second phase. If everyone stays healthy then I’m sorry and I really try to not get carried away and stay respectful, but this isn’t close.

How about The Porzingod blocking Kyrie, the entire Garden had an orgasm.

so, I think this Porzingis guy is healthy, at least healthy enough to be the best player on the court for the 1st quarter at least.

Dallas finally took their first really open, really high percentage shot in that PJ Washington 3. And he bricked. This defense is insane right now.
