The Boston Celtics Just Showed Us Exactly What We All Feared..| NBA Finals News (Porzingis, Tatum)

The Boston Celtics came out of the gates in Game 1 of the 2024 NBA Finals in about as dominant of a fashion as possible against the Dallas Mavericks. With the return of Kristaps Porzingis from injury to the rotation, many were curious what his impact would be within the Celtics offense, and if he would be 100% to complement Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, etc. And well, what we saw in Game 1 definitely answered our questions.

To start with the Celtics offense vs the Mavs, it was really better than ever. KP showed us that new dimension to Boston’s offense he unlocked when he arrived along with Jrue Holiday. By using Porzingis alongside Al Horford to stretch the floor, create openings for others, etc, Celtics HC Joe Mazzulla was having his way with the creativity they showed to kick off the 2024 NBA Finals in Boston.

Then in terms of the Celtics defense, this was also phenomenal. Whether it was JT, JB, Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, Kristaps Porzingis manning the middle, and even Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard off the bench with all of their efforts to slow down Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, etc, this side of the ball stole the show. And if Porzingis is able to keep up the two-way production we saw in Game 1, it is going to do a ton in terms of leading to the Celtcs being 2024 NBA champions.

Who you got winning, and in how many games? 👇

[bossilabofossa]

Jaylen Brown is an underrated defender. Should have made all defensive team

[davidking]

Interesting that I don't see the media talking about the fact that this is the FOURTH matchup of these teams this season, The Celtics are 4-0, and NONE of the games have been particularly close. Doncic scoring 30 while taking TEN MORE SHOTS than any other player, with ONE assist, is exactly how Joe Mazzula drew it up. The classic example of the star player NOT making his teammates better, resulting in a blowout loss.

[Allenblack]

The media was so unfair to Boston this year. The Celtics don’t have 5 players who can ALL shoot threes and can all defend/switch. They legitimately have 8. After Boston beats Dallas in 4 or 5, people will realize how unfair their roster is in today’s NBA.

[GostateHeavywieght]

This team was put togeather so perfectly! The Celtics have surrounded Tatum and brown with enough talent that they will never have to feel the pressure of having to do it all themselfs and that exactly what we’re seeing

[falemonjennings]

Stay humble and play hard. Let's goooo Celtics ❤❤❤

[yanni_]

I will never understand why so many analysts downplay the talent of the Celtics. The HISTORY of the franchise alone should be enough to earn respect… #18 is coming regardless 💚💚

[uzi]

Porzingus's performance is exactly what NBA fans hoped he could be when he was drafted. He did everything! And got the crowd all hyped up which gave the Celtics a jolt of energy.

[BrankaDesousa]

Omg this was de best basketball game I have ever watched Celtics play in a long time 😮I’m happy

[sean]

Some 20pt games feel like 40pt. Thats how much impact KP had. But thats just his high efficiency average..media act like its never happened before. Lol

[dekman]

Wow so it took one game for NBA fans to realize what Celtics fans knew from round one. Sounds about right. CELTICS IN 5!

[haac]

Wow never expect Boston be this good. KP was what he is BIG Factor. Tatum and Jalen Brown are tall athletic and not shy to go on the pain and attack. All 3 T, B and KP were not shy to attack. But that Boston Defense is just a Inheritance DNA from the Past. All those Championship Throphy on the Past Means something Big for the Celtics organizations.

[dentonyoung]

Porzingis made the Dallas players look like graduates of the Blue Bayou School of Defense.

[stefanschneider]

These blocks are exactly what you don’t see in the short recaps of the NBA! Thx!

[louisk]

celtics in 5... im a Celtics fan been watching every game i could this year. they could probably win in 4 but i want the final game to be at home☘️☘️☘️

[Nino-bumj]

i was just laughing my ass off watching these mavs bums flop and trying their hardest to get an offesnive foul off those mismatch postups by porzingis

[janelbarcos]

Boston champion I think game 5 series to finish

[andrewhassell]

If everyone stays healthy this series is over

[leonarddavis]

A few thing stood out. 1 Kyrie did not play well. 2 Luka's 1 assist. 3 How little Dallas had after Luka and Kyrie. On the other side. 1 WOW Kristaps Porzingis looked like he did not miss a game. 2 Brown looked like the leader. 3 Boston's top 6 guys looked like the best 2-7 on the floor.
