If you all haven't listened to The Timeline Podcast finals preview, you need to do that before the game. Even if you just listen to the first 5 minutes. Trust me.

Is there a link? Where do I find it?

Edit: I found it

Thank you for sharing this! Do they share this for every game?

Yep! Same URL each game, so make sure to download if you want to save them.

Yeah, that’s awesome. Looks like what they used to give you at the games. Or maybe you had to pay for them. Can’t remember. Or came in your program if you bought one?

It is about 10x more info than you would get in those game time magazines. They don't give those out anymore. It was mostly a commercial for their sponsors, though.

The last time the Suns won a home finals game was slightly over 45 years ago, on June 2nd, 1976, when they held on to beat Boston 109-107 to tie that series 2-2. The next game was two days later in Boston, the triple overtime classic and Heard's shot, which the team ultimately lost. They returned home shellshocked and lost the series two days after that.

In 1993, the Suns lost all three of their home games to Chicago: games 1, 2, and 6 in the 2-3-2 format the finals used at the time.

So, if the Suns can win this game, they'll not only break that long streak, but also take the series lead in a Finals for the first time in their history.

That’s kinda crazy, I didn’t realize we lost all our home games against Chicago

I try to avoid team centric podcasts because it feels like flying too close to the Sun, but that intro was well done. Thanks for the tip.

Yes, awesome intro! Thanks, Indy!

I teared up at the end. That was Carter who said, “Realistically? NBA Champions.”, right? When asked what our realistic expectations should be during preseason.

I want to find a way to export that as a separate audio clip that I can save. I wish I knew some people that were good at that kind of thing. digital audio stuff...

I did a little research on NBA Finals Game 1 point spreads.

In the past 10 seasons, the Game 1 favorite has won the game outright every time. Only twice did the favorited team fail to cover the spread.

2020 - LAL (4.5) - 18 point victory
2019 - TOR (1.5) - 9 point victory
2018 - GSW (12) - 10 point victory
2017 - GSW (7) - 22 point victory
2016 - GSW (6) - 15 point victory
2015 - GSW (5.5) - 8 point victory
2014 - SAS (3.5) - 5 point victory
2013 - SAS (5.5) - 4 point victory
2012 - OKC (5) - 11 point victory
2011 - MIA (4.5) - 8 point victory
