They won them both.

There have been a couple instances this playoff where, ooh, is Wenbanyama tiring?

And then the next game he comes out and he's gangbusters.

And I think we're going to wind up seeing that tonight.

I think Wenbanyama is going to be really great.

I do think, though, the unfortunate part of game one, you know, the NBA Finals are going to attract casual fans, right?

Yeah.

casual fans are just going to tune in and it's like, oh, it's the finals.

Let's watch.

Oh, I've been hearing a lot about this.

A, it's a New York team.

B, I've been hearing a lot about this Wemba Nyama.

He's an alien, right?

People definitely watched game one and were like, why aren't we talking about that guy called Anthony Towns?

Like, he's better than Wemba Nyama, right?

Like, you're getting casual fans who are watching these teams essentially for the first time who think Towns is definitely a lot better than Wemba Nyama.

Yes, like the Spurs were bad.

We could all admit that they were bad in game one.

They were up by 14 in the third quarter.

And like we're having this whole discussion yesterday about how the Knicks were terrible.
