It was Chris Paul's first every final game and the point god DID NOT disappoint, he manage to get a statline of Chris Paul puts 32 PTS, 9 AST. Chris Paul is the first player with 30 points and 8 assists in an #NBAFinals debut since Michael Jordan in 1991. Deandre Ayton was also super efficient in the paint with 22 PTS, 19 REB.
Point God will really be a game changer and we all love to see him play good basketball on his first NBA Finals, this would make an amazing story, he deserves it, but... does he deserve it more that the Two Time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo?? Not sure, its really is amazing that he made the effort to play on game 1 and it shows his hunger for the game and for the ring but Phoenix was just too dominant.
Giannis has to work on his free throws, i personally don't like it how the crowd start counting the time he takes on taking the free throw, i can't imagine what he is thinking at that moment but im sure he has to work in that, he missed way too many.
But hey, the Greek Freak did not get his nickname by making free throws (although they are super important) he got it from making big ass plays like this one:
WHAT A BULLY! This will be a very interesting series, keep up with injury news for this series, we saw Saric leaving the game, keep in mind that Phoenix does not have a lot of big man and he plays a very important role on the team. Middleton balled out yesterday with 29 points and Jrue Holiday only had 10 points... it is very important for them to step up their game in order to extend this series.
I know this week's blog will be mostly videos, but i just couldn't skip sharing this one, take a look at that block from Giannis.
Game two is on Thursday, buy a steak, get a few beers and enjoy the show because its about to get real! Thanks for taking the time to read us! And special thanks to Juan Roman on taking over the account last week!
Stay cool and eat your french toast.
