The Paul / Tyson fight on Friday was very popular. Netflix streamed it into more than 60 million households, which is a huge number for any TV event, much less a streaming-only one. Whether the whole thing went well, though, is another matter.

These teams are cooking coming out of the gates.

It’s important to be skeptical of small sample sizes early in a new NBA season. The league’s eternal 82-game grind leaves plenty of time to make up ground in the standings, or waste a hot start.
