Thinking Basketball Podcast, my name is Ben.

Welcome back to the, I guess technically the last episode of the 2021 season, of course.

There are podcasts in the off season, but this is the 2021 final show, if you will, the recap,

where I have 197 thoughts about the 2021 finals

and I'm gonna try to get them all out in some remotely coherent fashion

today. We will talk about adjustments that teams made. We will talk about

Janus Antrecupo. We will talk about Janus Anticupo. We will talk about the other stars of the series Chris

Paul, Devon Booker, the play of Drew Holliday, Brooke Lopez, did it coaching?

Did I talk about things like that?

I'll kind of flow us through the series hitting on those notes.

And we can contextualize at the end of this where Janus's finals rank sort of, let's not go back through all of history,

but at least in the last couple decades where we have really quick access to play-by-play data in the

NBA finals and talk about where this wonderful series stacks up how I see it what the data says so on and so forth.

That's what's on top for today.

So let's get into it.

Last episode, show number 85,

we talked about shock quality.

If I go through my 41-page note file

on the six games in the series.

It's normal, right?

It's a totally normal thing to do to take 41 pages of notes while you watch basketball.

At LG 35 on Twitter, if you're looking to mock me directly.
