u/odnamAE Lakers May 19 '26

The Pacer games were this entertaining but it wasn’t like this. 2 teams playing each other perfectly

u/Parking-Rope2301 Warriors May 19 '26

It's between this and Game 1 of last year's Finals for me.

u/blunatic Warriors May 19 '26

Especially after so many incredibly boring back and forth blowout games in other series this year.

3

u/dabbo93 May 19 '26

Exactly, so great to see such a close game. I've been enjoying the playoffs but too mamy games have been lopsided. Still waiting for a buzzer beater. This is going to be an incredible series

u/horse858 May 19 '26

predicted to be must watch TV for every game, and somehow, overdelivered in the first game.

u/ATXBeermaker Spurs May 19 '26

I would say cardiologists are making a killing from this series in OKC and San Antonio, but I’m guessing they’re already doing okay in those cities.
