Hole on, they're having Davis guard Hardon, and Westbrook guard KD?

That makes literally no sense.

Looks like they were going for the old-teammates match-ups wherever possible.

It should be a match-up of team training and medical staffs, because half those guys would be injured by midway through Game 1 of a Finals series, if not before then.
 
I thought they had 16 players before, this makes it up to 17, no?

also was picked by a different GM. Just funny to see this from Minny and Neil holding onto the guys he picked even in the second round like grim death (Letting Collins walk must have been painful for him).

Kind of wonder if they know more about the injury Zach has, because he is a player that certainly has a valid role in the modern nba

You might be right, but it'd need to be on mute to have any sort of redeeming quality. It'd be nauseating to listen to.

That’s unfortunate as a basketball fan. You’d be missing out on a classic. Just guessing that series would have the most future Hall of Farmers in it since the old Laker/Celtic/76 battles.

Doubtful. The NBA Finals got the best ratings when Michael Jordan played. Pure and simple. We had a LeBron/Kyrie/Love/Curry/Klay/KD Final in 2017 and it brought in 20.38 million viewers on average. Meanwhile, every Jordan Finals (no matter who he played against) topped that culminating with an average of 29.04 viewers for the 1998 NBA Finals against the Jazz. I would bet $10,000 right now that a Nets/Lakers finals would not average higher than that. There simply isn't a star on Michael Jordan's level in the league right now. If you say "but but but LeBron!",I'm here to tell you that the last time LeBron was in the Finals (2020), the average viewership was 7.45 million viewers (the lowest since 1981). Before that, the lowest rated Finals of this century was LeBron's first NBA Finals in 2007. LeBron isn't a draw.

This finals would have more future hall of farmers and superstars. I have a feeling more would tune into this one. But all those numbers you posted are pretty impressive.
 
I remember being a kid and absolutely hating the Larry Bird era Celtics! With a passion. Now I really wish I had taken more time to watch and appreciate how amazing they were.

Eh. Once I see a future hall of famer play once in any capacity... im good. I can say I watched them. Beyond that I'm not gonna carve out my day just to watch them. The blazers, the team I root for? Sure. I'll try to carve out time. For future hall of famers? Eh, if it's in passing I might watch for until the next commercial break, maybe.
 
Surprised this was the first game leaked and not us?

Hey, there is no rules on how to be a fan, but as a fan of the game, that blows my mind that you wouldn’t want to tune into this series.

Collins walking is painful for Collins. Running and jumping is really painful for him.

Acknowledging this is still somewhat painful for me.

No Finals is ever going to catch the ones from the '90s with Jordan, purely due to how fractured the "TV" market is. In the '90s, you had the big three networks, FOX and basic cable (with a few paid ala cart channels). Any major event on one of the big three networks was a massive media event. Now, many people don't even subscribe to a TV provider for networks, local channels and basic cable, they subscribe to streaming networks like Netflix.

Shit, the way Patty played in Tokyo, he deserves it.

the way Patty has played in his entire career (which if you didn't know, was more games) shows he doesn't deserve it.
