Whereas last year with Porzingis, they sort of played like the Bucks did with with Brooke Lopez and Giannis under Budenholzer, where they were like, you can fire away. We'll leave your best shooters. We'll protect the rim. We'll kind of have our defense start from the inside and then work out.

um and with porzingis back they've kind of gone back to that previous style where they're allowing a lot more three-point attempts and right now teams have been gassing them the last month teams have been gassing them from behind the arc i think to some extent like every team is shot like the cavaliers against it was something like when porzingis i looked at this a couple games ago uh so it's probably not exactly the case anymore especially after what the warriors just did but for for a 10-game stretch

When Porzingis was on the court, the Celtics opponents were shooting forty three point five percent from the three point arc and getting up like forty four three point attack for forty eight minutes. Damn. So so it's like every team was was shooting like the Cavaliers against them, both with volume and percentage. And it's like it's going to be tough to survive that one.

Also, I don't think other teams will sustain that. But. I think part of it is playing a new style. Part of it is, like I said, probably a low-energy stretch, and you let guys get too comfortable.

But they definitely have to adjust to kind of a new style, and I think at the end of the day, it will help them out that they can kind of toggle back and forth between a team that shuts off the arc and a team that allows bad shooters to shoot open ones from above the break. But right now, they're just sort of figuring it all out.

So Cleveland has obviously been the best team in the race. That's not even a discussion. They played a historic pace. The one thing I think about as I project forward to the playoffs is like, The Celtics don't really have any weak link on either end in their rotation. There's no one you can really hunt that you'd be comfortable hunting.

There's no one you can leave at the three-point arc that you'd be comfortable leaving. And I just feel like Cleveland has some of that. Like, they're vulnerable in different places. What does Darius Garland do if Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown are hunting him relentlessly? What is, you know... Sam Merrill do? What does, you know, what does George Niang do?
