To Mavs fans, for whom it could be a long season:
Follow Porzingis. He's worth watching. (And if you can do so without having to listen to Walt Frazier's inane drunken rhyming, so much the better.)
KP in the middle of a very hot streak right now, with 5 of 6 games >30pts (Boston held him to 12 with constant double-teaming).
Hit some insanely long 3-pointers v. the Nuggets the other night as if he were taking 15-footers, the kind that would've turned Steph Curry's head.
He is also a defensive presence with that height and reach. You can see opposing players looking over their shoulders when they go inside.
He is young, still developing, needs more strength; neither his shot nor his game are the thing of beauty that Dirk's were in his prime; but with Jackson and Anthony both departed, KP has a chance to be Dirk 2.0 in a few years, barring injury or MSG-induced psychosis.
For admirers of Dirk, it could bring a sentimental tear to your eye.
