Denver is a nightmare matchup for the Celtics. Gordon just having a blast out there getting whatever he wanted in that dunkers spot. Porzingis too skinny for Jokic.

[@jakestine4753]

Porzingis too skinny for Murray and KCP and Braun too. Both home and away, Porzingis tried to back down smaller defenders and failed. Nuggets coaches dare him to be a post player all the time, they put Joker on Hortford, and AG/MPJ are taking Tatum and Brown. Porzingis ends up with mismatches all the time both games and can't deliver. Last night I saw him barely mange to hit an uncomfortable looking hook over Reggie Jackson, denver's smallest player. I'd take that all night long because half will rim out, and 50% from the paint ain't good enough if the other team has Joker/AG getting 68% from the paint.
