Pretty normal considering most of the viewers are casuals who don't know what a P&R is. I live in Europe and struggle to find people who follow NBA at a level where you know who Bruce Brown is. This Finals is a great matchup of pure basketball. Jokic is ridiculous and quite honestly one of the best ever to play the game. What he does is not normal. Then Miami is probably the best coached team in the league. What they are doing with undrafted guys, consecutively winning series being the underdog team, quick adjustments they do in each matchup, it's just amazing to watch. Both teams have stars but are team-centric and that's how basketball should be played and, in the end, how you're successful. Not joining 3 random stars and filling it with scrubs. There's just one ball
Will probably get worse as the Series goes on too.. Spreading the games out so much definitely doesn't help. If you're just a casual Fan who watched the Game 1 blowout, you've probably completely forgotten about the NBA Finals when Game 3 shows up a week later.
the breaks are nuts. maybe have two off days when you change cities the first time (between games 2 and 3), and between games 6 and 7 (to build tension/allow rest). but the two day break between games 1 and 2 was silly.
yeah, i really thought malone was using a schtick until i saw him carrying around the polaroid. get your priorities straight, man. the team you're playing is less talented but singularly focused on winning instead of respect.
I'm hoping at 8:25 EST that CP3 tweets that he would be interested in playing with Bron. Just to overshine the entire game tonight. Just to f*** with Mikey.
No answer for Jokic, no answer for Murray and no answer for . . . Christian Braun, LOL! In all seriousness, Jokic is just on such a high level. It's remarkable to watch this guy play the game.
