Does anyone else not realize how freakish it is for this dude to be on pace to play the entire game, coming into this game leading all other players in minutes played, in his 15 year in the league, with 7 consecutive trips to the finals.
If he collapses towards the end of this game, I hold nothing against him.
Didn’t he play in every game during the season?
He defies the laws of aging. What a nice “f you” to Kyrie Irving.
Now we’ll see how much the NBA cares about ratings in the finals. If Silver & company do care, they would mandate the Rockets beat the Warriors tomorrow. Either team is beating this crap Cavs team that has no business being in the finals in 5 games max, but I could see Houston/Cavs generating some ratings buzz.
My bold prediction of the 2018 finals: A Warriors/Cavs rematch of the rematch of the rematch would be one of the lowest rated finals of the last 20 years for reasons I’ve said earlier: 2015 & 2016 were great matchups, but 2017 sucked and 2018 will be even worse, and nobody cares about Cavs/Warriors anymore! We’ve seen it 3 times already, there’s no way in hell this year is going to live up to 2016 (yet alone get to 6 games much less a 7th game) and I think it would drive people out in droves.
This has to be one of the single greatest playoff runs by a player, ever, along the likes of what Hakeem did in 1995 which he carried that team to the championship.
I think the 2007 Playoff run, might be just as good, if not slightly better, since they beat the Pistons 4-2 in the ECF, and that Pistons team was better than the Celtics were this season.
Oh, and I think Bill Simmons probably just broke his TV!
