Welcome on to Dunned on after game one of the 2024 NBA finals is in the books.

Boston had a little bit of sphincter tightening in the third quarter but

ultimately pulled away in dominant fashion.

I want to remind you if you're listening on the public pod you can go ahead and jump in and

grab our free trial once again so hopefully we can earn your business with that this time so please give that a shot

same if you're watching on YouTube and of course a subscribe or like or just a recommendation

we've always said that a part of what Porsingus adds to the Celtics is that he raises both their floor and their ceiling because he gives them a really good room protector.

He's a huge dude out there, but he also provides a lot of that dynamism offensively because he's a guy that he have to guard and everything else.

And so because he's coming back from a cafeteria, hadn't played in 38 days, wanted to know what
