Charlotte is fun to watch. They have a nice team. Sad watching them too because Hayward playing great. Wish we could have gotten to experience that in Boston.

We did at times.

Just wasn’t appreciated by some.

If Ainge didn't draft Tatum then maybe we could have experienced that in Boston and in Year 3 or 4 he could have put up 27 ppg again lol

Then again, I'm glad we got Tatum.

This Kings and Pacers game is awesome.  Oladipo came on late and their passing is beautiful.  But Barnes had 28 early in the 4th, then Holmes dominated the quarter with some ridiculous blocks (6 total), and just now Fox drove the lane at the end of the shot clock and finished with a ferocious dunk.

I’m glad we have Tatum too but who we also got to have 3 years of a healthy Hayward too. I guess things happen for a reason.

Weren't you one of the sky is falling mob on Christmas Day

As I said we're a fringe 50 win/3-5 SRS rating team even without Walker that can make the conference finals if things go our way (or even the finals in '01 Philly style if the Bucks screw up in the second round again and the Nets implode), adding Kemba pushes us to true title contention where we can win a 7 game series against any team in the league.

Clippers choked a 22point lead

NBA teams giving up 20+ point leads happen very often in NBA games. I used to think giving away a 20+ point lead was choking, but not anymore. It's too common an occurrence now. The expansion of the three point game has allowed 20 point leads to be closed very quickly. I now look at such things as simply a shift in emotion, just an extra long run.

Yes, the game has changed. Big leads are not what they were.

All these 3s have changed that. Not just making 3s but teams that are missing 3s. You get big swings especially if both happen at the same time (one team making, one team missing).

Gives us a more exciting product to watch tbh, we never know which team is going to win until the very end nowadays.

Not for me. It makes stages of the games more meaningless and boring as a result. Less intensity. Less urgency. Games are more wild and disheveled. None of these consequences are entertaining for me.
