I dont see a small market like Milwaukee, led by a non-American drawing a huge national viewership in the Finals.

LeBron being in Cleveland didn't hamper him as a national draw and there's no reason to think Milwaukee will hamper Giannis. Outdated logic IMO.

Also don't think anybody gives a damn if Giannis is from Akron or Athens. His ability to communicate could be an issue at some point but right now he's just a big all-business teddy bear.

But we'll see. I also think if the Dubs blow out the Rockets or win easily in Game 1, people will think "more of the same" and tune that series out as well.

That's reasonable. Even though I have the Warriors winning, I think them blowing out the Rockets in game one is the least likely scenario for that game. Should be a good series but, yeah, we'll see.

If Jimmy Butler is not going to be effective stopping Kawhi then he has to be Jimmy Buckets and get involved offensively. James Ennis has more points through three quarters.

I just want to take this time to say Fuck Lebron for picking the Lakers over the Sixers last Summer

Sixers don’t even need Bron. They just need Embid and Simmons to play up to their ceiling.
I feel like they are still missing the Vet that tells the team when to turn up the pressure, when to make smart basketball plays and when to calm the team down and just go and get a bucket or two on those runs. I really wanted Lebron to join and if he didn't I wanted Melo to fill that role. I thought with Butler and Tobias we had that leadership. I know they still have only played about 20 games together all year. I'm just being impatient because the East is up for grabs.
