Interesting that Ryu was a little sore after yesterday, and Walker’s abbreviated start tonight opens up the option of starting with Walker in game 1, and Ryu in game 2.
In a 3 game series, games 1 and 2 carry the same weight and you don’t need to worry about using that starter again until the next round. So, it’s sensible.
