Summary
Ken doesn't want to call Game 2 must-win but keeps talking himself toward it anyway, while a caller pushes back and reminds everyone there are still six games left to play. Kenny Atkinson keeps opening his mouth about the first three quarters and nobody wants to hear it, and the real question nobody can answer yet is whether Harden has anything left in the tank or if what Cleveland saw at the end of Game 1 is the new reality. The sandwich tangent somehow lands as the perfect metaphor for the whole situation: if you're not delivering the product, people stop showing up.
