Mavs come out firing. Already more whistles for Mavs, looks like whatever complaints they sent in to the League are working thus far
It wasn't a "daring" move, it was a no brainer. Porzingis had quietly become one of the most underrated players in the league since he got traded to the Wizards and was fully healthy (or as close as he can be) for the first time in a long time and no longer miscast as the hub of the offense like he was with the Knicks post Anthony.
They got him for very little and at a time where their only other notable big was a 37 year old Horford.
A team trying to win a championship without a superstar needs as much star power as it can get to attempt to overcome whichever one(s) they inevitably run into.

Mavs supporting cast getting exposed.
Luka has to 1v5 all series long to keep them in the game.
If Celtics threes start falling, it's going to get ugly again.
Yeah, the Celtics shot about as bad as you can from 3 and are up. The problem really is Kyrie. If he's not being a 1B type player, the Mavs are simply not that good (as in, Finals berth-good).
The Celtics have decided they want Kyrie to beat them, basically. Doncic might put up 50 but that doesn't mean anything if everyone else - especially Kyrie - combines for 40.
Tatum plays less like a mental midget and Celtics will blow this wide open again
Tatum getting carried by MVPingus
I truly don't get why they want to thrust supers om on Tatum. He's a great player, don't get me wrong. But he's a facilitator/jack of all trades kind of guy. He's not even the best player on his own team in terms of making big-balls type of plays, especially offensively I'd say, in my limited experience watching him.
Mavs making the game ugly. Good thing for the Celtics they paying Holiday 31 mil, he’s the only role player that’s come thru.
Mavs looking like the 2007 Cavs right nowEveryone outside of Luka just looks like dog .
Although as good as Luka has been offensively, he’s been getting absolutely hunted on defense.
Keep Tatum off the Olympics. What a loser tbh
The Celtics can't buy a 3 and the Mavs still look outmatched. It's on Kyrie to play better.
Also, great to see DWhite taking caring of business. I wish badly he was still on our team, but I'll still take Wemby with the way the cards fell.
Porzingus injured again

That's game.
As expected, Kyrie can't do against so many elite defenders.
Reminds me of that Blazers-Pelicans series when Jrue ruined Lillard.
Also lol Milwaukee at trading jrue holiday
Irving hands the ball tatum
Celtics really tried to choke it away.
Tatum passing on open shots all game long and they try to get him the ball in mid-post, then goes iso in true fashion of his idol.
Luckily for them, our boy Derrick got it covered.
Was the ball on the rim before white touched it
Derrick White making up for Tatum being anti-clutch.
Bleh, I hate Boston but I just don’t see them losing at this point. Kyrie struggling against Jrue and Jaylen Brown + Mavs role players look overwhelmed.
Derrick White getting a ring is the lone bright spot I guess![]()
Although the Mavs shouldn't really be thatconfident going home, if Kyrie can play better they are definitely in the ball-game. A real problem is their FT shooting - they left the game at the line in Game 2.
The Celtics got Derrick White for an FRP projected in the 20s.
Just thinking that the CHI pick should be able to yield a nice player if we wanted to go that route.
