Worst way to lose a game
Best way to win a game
A: You're leading big for most of the game, but right at the end, the other team starts a comeback, which comes up short as you pull out a win.
B: You're down big for most of the game, but you mount a comeback at the end to pull out a win.
C: You're nearly tied for the entire game, and the other team is keeping up with you, but at the end you come up clutch and win.
D: You're leading big the whole game and the other team never comes close to challenging.

If you can think of another way to win in grand fashion, post it here and I'll add it!

Doesn't matter, they all result in a win. If the celtics did any of those 3 consistently Id be happy.

I wouldn't be very happy if we had to mount huge comebacks every single game! ;D

I like a real close battle where both teams play will but we muscle it out.

These stand out the most for me as well. Playoff basketball nail biters that you really appreciate.

A win is a win for me.

The details of the win is just for the coaches and players to see if they need to keep up the same pace or need to adjust something.

  • We may as well put Tyrion in at center.
I don't think a win is a win. Confidence carries on, and to be able to make a comeback against all odds is such a confidence booster.

Having experienced all 4 of these, Bs are easily the most pleasing wins for me.
I like Marcus Smart

B = that Orlando game last year when E'Taun Moore and Avery Bradley made a strong run. Also that first Atlanta game this season where we were down by like 20+ and came back to win the game. Nice ones!

C -- are the types of games I enjoy watching the most. Close games throughout. Hard fought.

I love Gino time!

of course comeback wins are great, too. But Game 6 of the 2008 was the best win... Lakers got the mollywhop.

that said, I'll take any win

Go Celtics!

The teams that win more, by larger margins, tend to do better in the playoffs.

Pretty even dispersion among the latter three ;D I guess it's subjective!

i go for D. i wont even let the opponent think for a second that they could beat me. the other options are leavin the door open, or givin the other team hope, or makes them believe that "only if we did this, we coulda won". i say end it in the opening minutes.

take em down, keep em down.
