I like the two teams and I´m really happy to have two "small" markets franchises at that level.
It was a really good first game.
That Suns defense in the third quarter was awesome.
DeAndre Ayton has a lot of pressure on him because of Doncic but if he can reach his ceiling he´s a top 5 center.
He reminds me a lot of the young David Robinson.
For the Bucks, Giannis was fantastic for someone that had that injury scare one week ago.
But they really need to find a way to defend the midrange game of Booker and Paul.
They could switch on Trae Young at the end of the conference finals because he was injured and Young is not really someone that will use the midrange jumpshot a lot. But against Booker and Paul switching is a receipe for disaster.
There´s not a lot of players that plays the mismatchs better than Paul.

Wanted to see CP3 let Ayton get that last rebound and get a 20/20 game.
Paul straight up robbed that rebound and he realized it at the end.

Had Ayton gotten it, he'd only be the third guy in NBA history with a 20-20 game in the Finals along with Shaq and Duncan.

Yup, she's a baddie. Nichols plays the female card way too damn much. No one feels sorry for you, lady.

I know ratings are a hot topic on here for some. Here's the first data I've seen this year:
Game 1 of the NBA Finals averaged 8.56 million viewers on ABC, down 35% vs the opener of the 2019 Dubs-Raptors series and off a full 50% compared to Game 1 of the final Dubs-Cavs showdown in 2018. Note that 2019 is a low bar in and of itself, as the Raps don't rep a local US DMA.

As a reminder, the numbers for 2020 and 2021 include the out-of-home deliveries that Nielsen bakes into the standard live-same-day data, so the more recent deliveries are somewhat inflated—perhaps by as much as 10%—compared to all previous years.

Booker low key looking at a possible triple double.
