The Irish Try To Cross The Bay, Will They Make A Splash? | Official Celtics vs. Warriors NBA Finals Thread

Didn't the league space these games out like this after the 2015 finals or am I tripping?

ABC’s schedule when the Finals were in the 2-3-2 format was to have games played on Tuesday, Thursday & Sunday only. In 2014 they switched from 2-3-2 to 2-2-1-1-1. After 2015 they changed the schedule format so that there would always be two days off when changing cities. Which is why G3 is on Wednesday and G4 on Friday, but then G5 won’t be until Monday.

Since 2019 means, "since the pandemic" because its actually lower than the last nba finals on reg scheduling (pre-pandemic). Everyone by now should be aware that 2020 and 2021 was were killed by the pandemic/riots (bubble)

You Bron Stan’s are in shambles. No one was calling this series boring when y’all were throwing a parade after game 1.

???I never once said anything about the entertainment value of this series In fact, the first post I saw in this thread about the ratings was AFTER the Warriors lost the first game

could have sworn an hour earlier on the east coast. There would be 5 on the west coast. People would just be getting off work. Would not make sense. Someone shared a screenshot from the '80s with the same time

First time I've seen them do one of these, they were on point, they should have been knocking more of these out during the playoffs

Dubs should be feeling better than the Celtics after two games. Two straight games they built up double digit leads in the second half. The first time, Boston went unconscious from three in the fourth. They've more or less held Boston's offense in check besides that period.

Curry's been by far the best player in the series. If that keeps up, they should win it all.

I expect Tatum and Brown to shoot better at home but Klay and Poole are also due to shoot better themselves.

Jaylen should be number two

Jaylen should be number two

Im not even getting at the rankings per se(which is ridiculous in and of itself)....but the fact that this award has become this big of a spectacle. Don't get it twisted, the award has always mattered and been factored into comparative convos.....but I just don't remember it ever being to the point where these dudes are making game to game trackers of who's leading the 'poll'. It's parody status at this point

A lot riding on tonight. Boston has been even through the first half in the first 2 games but has been getting smacked in the 3rd. They roared back in game 1 but couldn’t game 2.

Refs did kinda of rein them in when it looked like they might have ran away with Game 2 early and they got flustered. But you’d think they’ll see a more favorable whistle tonight
