Suns dominated Q1 for the majority of the 1st quarter but the Bucks got it together and kept it close by the close of the 1st Qtr.
Now with 6 minutes until Halftime, the score is tied @ 39 but the Bucks have just gone ahead for the 2nd or 3rd time by a couple pts.
That said, the quarter comes to a close with the score tied at 52!
S/b a fun 2nd half as the Bucks need to take care of biz'nus at home or risk going back to Phoenix down 3-1.

This game shoed me accouple things.
1) Jrue Holiday = Marcus Smart. Both are good defenders and rebounders, but don't know there offensive limitations. Like Smart, Holiday darn near shot his team out of the game in the 4th quarter with all his ill advised attempts and misses rather than find Middleton.
2) Giannis is not a true alpha. He was constantly looking for Middelton to take the ball. I don't think it was a case of being a playmaker and deferring, but rather he did not want the ball in key moments.

To me that makes Giannis smart. Middleton was hot. Let's face it, you don't want GF shooting jumpers in crunch time. It was a decision that may lead to gold.

Agree, Giannis block of Ayton's dunk attempt, the poke away on Chris's Paul! Bill Russell didn't take the last shot, but he was definitely an alpha!

One more thing about Giannis, he may hustle more than any player I've ever seen! He takes zero plays off!

Not my problem...so what is your solution?...more stars on fewer teams?...genius...
True fans will watch...the rest can go play tiddlywinks...
Also, games are being watched in many more mediums than TV...but you know that...

At least you are correct in calling it a game, because it is certainly not a sport...

I could care less about the ratings. I want good basketball period. I bet you those who dont have a clue about basketball were just tuning in because they only knew one or two players names not because of the game itself.

No one reads the NY Post the Times is the go to news outlet in NY.. It's not all bad... NBA Finals: Bucks Vs Suns Ratings Up From 2020 Finals; 9 Million Viewers In First 3 Games According to a report by the Nielsen , the ongoing NBA final viewers throughout all three games, averaged 9,000,000 viewers, up 33 percent from last year.

You can call it whatever you want, you suggested I try it. I told you im already good at it. Funny though I can’t say I’m good at something but you can essentially call me brain dead cause this isn’t the best finals outcome

It doesn’t have to go against football in the ratings without fans

They would have stayed home and maybe watched more sports or old soap operas. How did you pass the time last year? Not with your wife. She was with me......... These numbers make no sense and why were arguing it even less.........
