"There's nothing like game minutes and experience that I'm going to get. It'll be tough to jump into the finals like this. I did everything I could to prepare for it. We'll see." "I have to go out there and just be myself, give what I can to the team and expect nothing. We have to go out there and earn it and we will do that individually and as a group.Porzingis played for the Mavericks from 2019 to February 2021 before being traded to Washington, ending a stay that never worked for player or team.
"I don't really know why it didn't work out. We were both still really young," he said. "We tried to make it work but it just didn't work so we were done.""I thought it was going well in the sense of our defense, his ability to block shots and rebounds, and on offense we looked to post him up a little more. Both worked. He has the skill set to do both," Kidd said.
Porzingis also has insight into the challenge the Mavericks will bring, notably on inside lobs to the hoop. You can’t say enough about the fighting heart of the five Philippine boxers who qualified for the Paris Olympics.
