Friday Morning BetMGM Money Line:

So Portland wants to play on the counter. We want to keep the ball on the ground and walk the ball into the goal. Wouldn’t bad weather conditions and a slick surface play more into our hands than theirs? Am I missing something
And then a question for everyone…
If you didn’t get to watch the game and didn’t see the final score, if there was one stat or metric that you could look at to give you a sense of what happened in the game, what stat or metric would that be? I’m thinking time of possession, xG etc
For me, it would be a heat map of Maxi Moralez. If his heat map is very advanced into the opposition third, I think it means we’ve absolutely taken the game to them and put them under considerable pressure

One stat or metric? "Goals scored"
...jokes aside, I really don't know. maybe player positioning heatmap? Might give a sense of what the players were doing over the course of the game, which in turn can show you if we were attacking or defending?
Portland's shot location map. If they're shooting well inside our box then their counters are getting past our defense. If mostly from the perimeter then we're controlling them.
I know it's a joke but they likely have the stock ready in multiple places so that depending on which team wins, they can shove out the stock ASAP. And then the loser ships off all the bad clothing to underprivileged peoples. https://www.qualitylogoproducts.com/blog/losing-team-championship-merchandise/
My thought too. I think the two most interesting heat maps are Maxi and Tayvon.One stat or metric? "Goals scored"

they do this all the time for every sport. this is why people after wards say that that the shirts of the losing team are sent to another country as a donation. i mean im pretty sure they had philly hats ready in case they won the eastern conference championship
