This man has never been this wide open, and he was an elite shooter last year in Washington.

He’s taken 38 shots and is 60% from 2 and 62% from 3.

Everyone is talking about the Giannis/Dame PnR, but I believe the Tatum/Porzingis PnR is going to be as deadly because of their size and shooting combination.

    He probably will thrive on the Celtics, but these preseason numbers don’t mean shit.

      but these preseason numbers don’t mean shit.

      Agree and disagree.

      Porzingis is not going to shoot 62% from 3 on the season, obviously. However, the fact that he’s seeing wide open looks for the first time in his career does indeed mean a lot. We all know Porzingis is a good shooter already, but we now also know that the Celtics are going to use him effectively. So the “how well is he going to fit in?” question is already looking answered.

      I remember that first season of Lakers Melo where he was shooting 50% from 3 for the first few weeks or so.

        We also question Celtics fans forcing “the jays” on the rest of us. Can we come up with a better nickname?

          The Jays is a weird and forced? It’s like the simplest most direct nickname they could have.

          Now when people were trying Fire and Ice, that shit was corny.

          It’s not an amazing nickname but it is low profile and smooth. Would you like to do some brainstorming?

            Blue Steel… Can’t go left

            License to drive… Would rather shoot a fadeaway 3 then drive to the basket

          They don’t even deserve a nickname. If they were on any team other than Boston, LAL, or Miami no one would give a shit about either of them
