Yeah man Al gets young when it comes to the finals! 🔥 it’s kind of bitter/sweet that KP isn’t playing for the series win in a few days and Al will have the stage.
@txboy051 this is just an ignorant comment coming from hate not logic lol Sure he offers great rim protection, but this team is built of 2 way players and still have another two 7 foot players, one of which has tons of experience and has played with these guys for a couple years. As long as the other 5 of their top 6 play the way they've played all season, they should be able to handle this.
@@txboy051that is not true, game 1 Mavs couldn’t get a lob at the rim even before Porzingis came in, the C’s defensive rotations are elite, in game 2 even after Porzingis went down, the Mavs still got nothing at the rim, the C’s cooked Dallas defensively in game 2 in the 4th quarter, the block on pj Washington, Tatum’s steal on Kyrie with 2 min left, and Luka got locked up in the 4th, try actually watching the games bruh
@@cedricspencer720facts. the lobs are limited due to switching snd keeping your body in front of the roller not allowing the momentum. I think we see more of game 1 defense than game 2. back to the heavy switch and no trapping. They'll take away the easy stuff and corners and let Luka wear himself down fighting for shots. The key to the defense is the relentless waves thrown at kyrie and luka
Yall are delusional if you think this porzingis injury isnt going to be a huge factor. Without porzingis, the lob and scoring in the paint is going to open up for the mavs
@@Blockparty24 way to admit you haven’t been watching this series. We’ve been using defensive schemes to eliminate the lob, not KP. Mavs have 1 lob all series and it was with KP in.
Respectfully he is not. While I do find that tatum is incredibly underrated especially by Americans (he is better than ant as an example), he is not in the top 5. Giannis,Luka,Jokic,Shai are ahead. Embiid and Lebron are also slightly better.
My question to everyone is , when did the Celtics need Porzingus this whole post season ? Yes he is an amazing player and changed the dynamic of the team . But the Celtics have proven that Al Horford can be just as effective .
Ikr fools tend to forget that Porzingus active in the postseason until just a couple games ago. They was fine without em. I think Celtics still sweep 🧹
Arguably they don’t need him against everyone, but in terms of matchups he’s important against Dallas, particularly his defensive presence has shown both visibly and statistically in this series. You can expect the Mavericks offense to be a lot more effective without KP. Of course the Celtics can still win if their offense is on point, but they probably won’t be able to have their defense alone to carry them to wins which is how they won the first two games
Media people act like the Celtics played the entire playoffs with prozingis they have plenty of other players to play with intensity and make up for the loss of the 7 footer including Tatum and brown who have not yet had breakout games yet 😊
@txboy051 And 1 less scorer to help save them when Tatum is in choke mode from the field. If KP doesn't play games 1 and 2 and everything else stays the same, The series is likely 1-1, maybe 2-0 in Mavs favor.
The door isn't open. Mainly because the idea is that the original scheme was to drive and kick. Even with someone like Luke Kornet, they'll keep him on the spacing and simply have him cut when the Mavs send three to the ball on a JT drive
I wouldn't mind seeing Queta get some playing time. Dude can straight up ball, especially blocking shots, and rebounding. He's actually a great passer too.
Bos still winning with or without kristaps. He was only playing 20 mins these 2 games..kornet and brissett play his minutes probably they'll be fine. If Tatum scores more effectively this series is over as well
Ya they can’t guard anybody that’s why they made it to the finals and became the first team since the 2010 lakers to beat 3, 50+ wins teams to reach the finals…
@greakfreakmyboy9822 but Kyrie and Luka can't play defense fr. They are elite on offense, but defensively they are targeted in pick and rolls due to not being able to hold a newspaper
Robert Williams played on one leg in 2022 and that took away the lob attack, rim protection, rebounding and interior offense and defense, KP could make one difference: 3 point shooting and bringing the Mavs D out to take him seriously and open lanes for the rest of the C's.
Your the idiot isn’t that same team that made it without KP get past 3 entire teams without there main star players even playing in the entire series due to injuries. Yea they could’ve won those series regardless but a lot of those series should’ve went longer to expose the Celtics aren’t as good as people think haha
He hurt his right ankle in the 4th, that is what’s confusing people. But that was just minor and healed. This is the LEFT ankle, which got hurt early in the 3rd. He was slightly hobbled in the 3rd, so that’s the version you’ll probably see if he can go.
Boston has had Tatum and Brown just driving to the cup to create offense. Drive and kick or get to the basket. Unless Dallas has an answer for that, I don’t see how KP being out makes a huge difference. For every point Luka scores, he gets targeted on the other end of the floor.
So what your saying is that Dallas can only win if Boston gets injured. Where is everyone that was saying that the Celtics only got there cause of injury
Andraya Carter needs to take a break. "If Porzingis is slightly hobbled, the door is wide open for the Mavericks". How? The Celtics made it to the finals without Porzingis; those first two games were just a bonus. She also said yesterday that Tatum was inefficient. How? The man has 18, 12 and 9 rebounds. Tell me you're not watching basketball without telling me you're not watching basketball. Also these analysts are sweating, they really need Kyrie to pull through tonight to validate most of them saying he's the 2nd best player in this series....🤡🤡🤡
Luka is a turnstile on defense. That’s the mavs major problem! Whomever he’s guarding is blowing past him and making the defense collapse and giving Boston open shots
Sounds like two CNN Biden voters. Your talking possibly the greatest player ever and he’s now doing it on defense he’s leading the playoffs in steals and towards the top in defense rating. These are actual facts not emotional race baiting like other people
THANK YOU….. I’ve been saying! Kidd did a great job masking Luka in this defense. But you’re spot on EVERY SINGLE TIME they get by him the defense collapses and he doesn’t even care. Which is why i didn’t pick them to win. Luka won’t win until he learns how to give them some kind of defensive presence.
They went from Luka and kyrie are the best offensive backcourt and all this stuff to Luka needs help to theavs are done and now ...is the door wide open? 😅
@SomoaVsEverybody814 I’m neither a Celtics or Mavs fan. Just you trolling and being here coping proves to us that you’re the one crying. Nice projection.
Don’t be surprised if Dallas wins 4 straight by double digits if no Porzingis because Horford can’t keep up with the length and athletic ability of Mavs big. It will be a dunk fest

Boston is 10-1 without KP, they will be fine. They beat a much better Pacers team without KP. Pacers beat these Mavs bums twice by an average of 19 pts LOL Celtics in 4, stop the copium ESPN
I don't see KP playing. This may hurt the Celts play running execution and potential rebounding. Celts should execute plans A-Z without KP court presence.Keep the door closed.
I love how these same people hand-waived Porzingas's absence in the early rounds. They pushed their silly "Easy path to the Finals" narrative by marking the Cs as "full strength" going against injury-riddled opponents. Porzingas not being there somehow didn't count, but now he's suddenly so critical the Celtics are in trouble?? Do these geniuses even hear themselves?? Celtics in 4.
Boston has won 8 straight road playoff games WITHOUT Porzingis. It's not like they've been relying on him to win on the road. Dallas is 3-3 at home in the playoffs. So of course the NBA media says Dallas is going to win.
Talking about lobs as though lobs wins game. Yes they had lobs but they also played Wolves who has a different defensive style than the celtics. Nembhard actually played better than kyrie and Halliburton combined and they managed the pacers who scored points faster than mavs
Mavs need to play faster (Offensively). Speed up the pace some. Make Porzingis run more (If he still plays). And make Harford run more too. You won't beat Boston if you let them get their defense fully set every play
@@YellowjacketGTO Luka dosen't have to be the one bringing the ball up the court every play. The rest of the team can run and push the ball down the court 🏀. And Luka gets there when he gets there, at his own pace. That's understandable with his injury... But the rest of the team can't afford to move at his speed right now.
All I gotta day is 2 things. 1. Tatum needs to step up and grt his scoring gamr togethet or things could get dicey going back to Boston. 2. If he doesn't get it together and the rest of the team isn't able to keep picking up the slack, Tatum stans better not start blaming other players while giving him a pass repeatedly.
Tatum has been dribbling into Double and Triple teams when he was Wide Open for shots. Regular season Tatum was a Huge Reason that Boston has had HOME court throughout the playoffs. But that hardly means the Finals Tatum should be excused for horrible shooting just because of his Assist, rebounds, and defense. Lastly, this Dallas team, in spite of being Down 0/2 isn't remotely scared of Boston. Fortunately for Boston, Kyrie is back to being a Blank Case.
I trust ESPN here, if either Porzingis or Doncic can’t play in this game, Boston, Dallas and Austin will all sink into the ocean and L.A. will become the new capital of both Massachusetts and Texas.
Nahh I think they probably win 1 game and that’s probably tonight but this series is definitely over lol I don’t know why everybody thinks the Mavs have a chance this series is still over in 5
Geez, didn't even mention how Tatum has not been scoring much at all. Only Kyrie this Kyrie that Luka getting the pain shot. What if Tatum breaks out of his shooting slump and put up 30+?

Will Steph curry, lebron or KD ever win again? And if yes who will win 1 for the last time?
Why is this surprising that KP is hurt in the playoffs lol
Sydney'Oz Solid Salute@MAVS💚💙⚪
Boston is 10-1 without KP, they will be fine. They beat a much better Pacers team without KP. Pacers beat these Mavs bums twice by an average of 19 pts LOL Celtics in 4, stop the copium ESPN
The disrespect for the Celtics is real.
Ngl this really hurts Boston more than people think. Tatum gotta step up tonight, Kyrie gotta step up tonight even more. This game gonna be peak🍿🍿🍿.
ITS A SETUP FOR THE MAVS TO COME BACK, THIS IS JUST LIKE WWE IT'LL GO 7 GAMES SO VEGAS CAN COLLECT AND THE NBA ORGANIZATIONS CAN COLLECT
Screaming that in all caps doesn’t make you anymore correct.
Your right
Dallas desperately needs production from anyone else that’s not Luka.
And more defense from Luka as well. And from Kyrie as well.
"Greeny" flexing today, the pronunciation, the Spanish all dat
You guys kept showing the wrong clip, he got hurt in the 3rd on a free throw rebound attempt
Man they want any hope for Dallas to win they really realy Despise the Celtics......
I don’t think the porzingus injury will effect Boston to much if Dallas really wants a chance kyrie needs to start playing
adam silver had to make a call to get this series to go more than 4
Game 3 gonna show whats gonna happen
Nice posts, needs more ‘gonna’
No not really
Facts
Why are people surprised at his injuries? Ever since being in the league he has ALWAYS only avg 60 games a year.....dude ALWAYS hurt....
MEDIA GOING TO BE IN SHAMBLES WHEN MAVS GET SWEPT 😂😂😂
KP isn't Kyrie's problem. Jrue, White, and Brown are.
I don't see KP playing. This may hurt the Celts play running execution and potential rebounding. Celts should execute plans A-Z without KP court presence.Keep the door closed.
They will attack KP from every angle.
I love how these same people hand-waived Porzingas's absence in the early rounds. They pushed their silly "Easy path to the Finals" narrative by marking the Cs as "full strength" going against injury-riddled opponents. Porzingas not being there somehow didn't count, but now he's suddenly so critical the Celtics are in trouble?? Do these geniuses even hear themselves?? Celtics in 4.
Boston has won 8 straight road playoff games WITHOUT Porzingis. It's not like they've been relying on him to win on the road. Dallas is 3-3 at home in the playoffs. So of course the NBA media says Dallas is going to win.
Kristops is that rare player if he stayed healthy he's a superstar in the league.
Talking about lobs as though lobs wins game. Yes they had lobs but they also played Wolves who has a different defensive style than the celtics. Nembhard actually played better than kyrie and Halliburton combined and they managed the pacers who scored points faster than mavs
Mavs need to play faster (Offensively). Speed up the pace some. Make Porzingis run more (If he still plays). And make Harford run more too.
You won't beat Boston if you let them get their defense fully set every play
Luka is not in great shape he is gassed in the second half. And has a bad knee.Go ahead and run!!
@@YellowjacketGTO Luka dosen't have to be the one bringing the ball up the court every play. The rest of the team can run and push the ball down the court 🏀.
And Luka gets there when he gets there, at his own pace. That's understandable with his injury... But the rest of the team can't afford to move at his speed right now.
@@king-ofheartz They are outgunned its clear. Maybe scratch out a win. But they are in big trouble.
All I gotta day is 2 things.
1. Tatum needs to step up and grt his scoring gamr togethet or things could get dicey going back to Boston.
2. If he doesn't get it together and the rest of the team isn't able to keep picking up the slack, Tatum stans better not start blaming other players while giving him a pass repeatedly.
Mark my word, Tatum going ham tonight
It not a big challenge for big Al he can score and defend Gafford or Lively will have they're hands full checking him bc of his experience
Boston beat a high powered offense in CLE then swept a team with a better offense in the pacers.. i think they’ll be fine
That’s all true but neither team had number 77.
Tatum has been dribbling into Double and Triple teams when he was Wide Open for shots. Regular season Tatum was a Huge Reason that Boston has had HOME court throughout the playoffs. But that hardly means the Finals Tatum should be excused for horrible shooting just because of his Assist, rebounds, and defense. Lastly, this Dallas team, in spite of being Down 0/2 isn't remotely scared of Boston. Fortunately for Boston, Kyrie is back to being a Blank Case.
The fact that you need KP injured just to win a game is hilarious to me 😂😂😂😂😂 maaaaaaan Boston is taking this game tonight
I trust ESPN here, if either Porzingis or Doncic can’t play in this game, Boston, Dallas and Austin will all sink into the ocean and L.A. will become the new capital of both Massachusetts and Texas.
ESPN will do anything to get a seven game series out of this. Between viewership and betting, a sweep would mean no $$$$$$$$$
All the ESPN people who was voting vicariously for Jokic are doing the same ish with Luka😂 You can't make this ish up with a liar next to you 😂
Huhh 😂
and before the last game everybody said Luka might not play !
so porzingis is the best player on the celtics now?
He’s arguably the x-factor
@@AveChristusRex789anyone whose been watching knows Jrue Holiday is the X factor. KP is a dog for sure but Holiday is that guy.
8:15 - Anthony Edwards did not say “I got Kyrie” in any sort of way. Why do they keep pushing that Ant was talking trash?
Wide open? lol it’s going to be a sweep
Nahh I think they probably win 1 game and that’s probably tonight but this series is definitely over lol I don’t know why everybody thinks the Mavs have a chance this series is still over in 5
He played 20 mins a night… of course he unlocks a lot. But we don’t need him to beat Dallas if it was the nuggets I’d be worried
Geez, didn't even mention how Tatum has not been scoring much at all. Only Kyrie this Kyrie that Luka getting the pain shot. What if Tatum breaks out of his shooting slump and put up 30+?
