KRISTAPS PORZINGIS has transformed the CELTICS defense into an unstoppable force



KRISTAPS PORZINGIS has transformed the CELTICS defense into an unstoppable force

Jas volen chunis bullies everyone in the post he’s just pretty much bigger than everyone but it doesn’t matter cuz porzingis as soon as he gets vertical no matter where volen chunis is on the floor I mean look at him bully him right here bully him right here to the charge

Circle doesn’t even matter once porzingis gets his arms in the air you got nothing now porzingis creates the offensive foul with Valen chunis because he realizes it doesn’t matter how much I bully porzingis as long as he’s in front of me and he can get vertical then I

Can’t score so now not only do I got to bully porzingis but I got to clear him out and get inside position so he can’t get vertical now I’m going to use my off arm to try and create that but we got an offensive foul when you do that this is

Really unbelievable the strides that porzingis is able to take so he’s going to ice this ball screen here he is going to be at the Block right here icing this ball screen keeping column to the sidelines on a pick and pop right here look at porzingis he goes from the

Charge Circle to look at how quickly he’s able to recover back out to volen chunis like two steps contest it it’s insane this is just next level right here I mean this is z look at how late porzingis is to switch onto Zion Williamson Zion Williamson is literally

In the charge Circle right here this is a poster dunk on just about anybody else in the NBA but with porzingis look at this just get vertical nothing insane again porzingis is able to switch pretty easily he can drop to the paint right here because his strides his verticality

Like I’m going to be able to get out and challenge this shot so all I got to do I don’t bite on a pump fake just show your hands slide your feet show your hands slide your feet he can play off Jordan Hawkins because once the shot goes up

Boom nothing also just ridiculous McCollum gets Al Horford in the air right here so he’s got him on a back door cut so watch porzingis guard the post then as soon as porzingis leaves look at that Rush the shot get vertical Miss amount of ground that porzingis

Covers is unbelievable so first of all he’s going to be in backside help on this pick and roll right here look he does a nice job jamming Valen chunis now in Dyson Daniels lips again look where he is inside the block look at how quickly he goes from inside the block

One two strides and now I’m easily able to come out and contest it’s really not fair here he just does everything here again backside help on the pick and roll right here Jam Valen chunis now he’s going to come back out take Dyson Daniels right here and then as soon as

This ball gets dumped down look at him drop to the paint right here drop to the paint so ban chunes can’t bully Al Horford at all you’re bullying him right into a second defend now watch porzingis go from doubling and look at it’s one stride and out and a contest on the

Three it’s really unfair on pick and rolls cuz porzingis can play so far off of Shooters and then be able to recover I mean Valen chunis perfectly slips this screen perfectly this is a lob for a dunk this is a pass over the top for an

Easy two but porzingis can come all the way into the corner getting in the charge circle look at this now you’ve got nothing and then he’s going to be easily able to recover to the corner and now you’re just left with a yet all he’s got to do is see the ball

For a split second and just him coming into the play right here means McCollum has nothing and then watch so now you’re going to go from doubling McCollum look at how open Larry Nance is but one stride one stride gets there of all I mean again do you realize how insane it

Is to have Zion Williamson afraid of you in the paint like again Zion Williamson this is Bully ball this is two points against about any other team but look at Zion as soon as porzingis enters the paint right here to help boom pulling his dribble back I mean it’s un and now

Look off this handoff now Jaylen Brown can go guard McCollum here and leave his feet and contest because guess what porzingis is right back over on Zion Williamson who’s now again not GNA be able to do anything right here and you end up with herb Jones trash this right

Here I mean this clip right here shows you just how unbelievable porzingis is as a rim protector again they switch this is Zion Williamson look at Kristof porzingis you know how many players can just let Zion Williamson get to the charge circle before they play defense

And actually get a stop like almost no one porzingis waiting in the charge Circle for Zion look at that block nothing this is just alltime special stuff right here all time first of all the Pelicans run across screen Zion Williamson’s going downhill on a late switching Derek white that’s a lob if

Porzingis literally goes from the strong side of the floor to the paint if he does not do that look at porzingis all the way down there nope no lob then CJ mccollum’s going to beat Jaylen Brown back door that’s not going to matter because porzingis is hanging out in the

Paint but this is where things get really really special I mean z so Zion catching this ball in the post it’s bullying Jaylen Brown bullying Jaylen Brown doesn’t matter porzingis is waiting back to the Baseline and help now Zion’s GNA get two offensive rebounds one offensive rebound no second

Offensive rebound no again this is where the Celtics defense is just unfair I mean Drew holiday is going underneath the screen so CJ mccollum’s got to deal with Drew holiday right here and then porzingis who doesn’t even have to do anything he doesn’t even have to contest

His mere presence here gets CJ McCollum to pick his dribble up early and Rush this floater again there’s just no place to go it doesn’t even matter that these Pelicans players are beating people off the dribble they’re beating good Defenders off the dribble I mean Trey Murphy’s got Jaylen Brown beat right

Here but look at how they Park porzingis in the paint because he can play so far off cuz I can help and recover because his strides and his verticality I mean look at this Trey Murphy’s got Jaylen Brown beat but it doesn’t matter you got porzingis just standing underneath no

Place to go let Jaylen Brown back in the play same thing I mean Jaylen Brown gets beat here these are good defensive players getting beat but it doesn’t matter I guess you can get beat when you have porzingis because look at this we’re not worried about Larry Nance CJ

Mccollum’s got a step on Jaylen Brown this is probably a layup But Here Comes porzingis no place to go forced the kick out pass out to Larry Nance who cares I mean again I don’t think people realize how insane this is like Zion Williamson look at this on this kickout pass to the

Corner he’s got it and he’s gone the fact that you are intimidating Zion Williamson in the paint it goes beyond words like look at porzingis coming from the weak side corner all the way into double like Zion’s finishing through Derek white every single time there every single time but porzingis is right

There to clog that up and who cares about this and last one here I mean we start with porzingis being in the gaps when porzingis is stunting at the ball it’s different than just about anybody else in the NBA stunting at the ball because of his strides because of his

Verticality I mean look at him stunt at this ball right here like Trey Murphy has the Lane right here but look at how long his arms are so now that gets Trey Murphy to pick his dribble up early Derek White’s able to contest from Over the Top then Trey Murphy gets the

Offensive rebound and guess what happens

Showing how Kristaps Porzingis changes everything for the Celtics defensively and has turned them into an unfair unit to go up against

  1. Love your videos, and love KP, he's become underrated and his impact is not talked about enough

    However, this video speaks volumes about the Pelicans more than about KP

    Their insistence in playing non shooting, non scoring players in Daniels and Nance makes it second nature for Porzingis to just zone the paint and destroy drives

    Look at who's open almost every time: Daniels or Nance

    With such a great defender like KP, you just cannot play guys who are not going to make him choose between either giving up an open drive or spot up shot, or contain the drive and protect the paint

    Boston is the best team in the league, but the Pelicans did themselves no favors by playing right into their strengths as well

  2. This is why there's 3 second key rule. However since Celtics switch so much, KP can sit his ass in the paint and guard the three point line lol.

  3. Latvian basketballer ❤ Big KP. A very good personality, tall, excellent, smart player with good physical form. I Hope to see him in playoffs in his best performance.💯

  4. Yes Boston's defense looks great….but….NO's spacing is BAD. 4 defenders on ZW 5:40. NO's spacing is a joke. Does NO even have shooters? I think we need some ranting on bad offense.

  5. This is a welcome video for Celtics fans. Porzingas and the Celtics defense as a whole hasn't been at its best for a while now. KPs rim protection hasn't been good. I chalk most of that up to effort, but still.

    The Celtics showed their defensive dominance when they're locked in against the Pels.

  6. I love watching people run towards and then immediately run away when they see Porzingis. He is a presence and a menace for the offense of opposing teams.

  7. "KRISTAPS PORZINGIS has transformed the CELTICS defense into an unstoppable force" proceeds to show a clip of kristaps porzingis not doing anything to bother a lay @all

  8. You really took a lot of liberties with the truth here. It's like a watched a different video. EX: "Slide your feet…" He didn't. He crossed over his right foot over his left and was off==balance. He was lucky on most of these plays that they missed those shots.

  9. Yet the Celtics were up by six points most of the game. Why weren't they up by 25 with this Unstoppable Force Defense. Please.

  10. Bro I was yelling Clamped!! The whole third. It was crazy how good our defense played and KP make our defense elite!
