I know you've looked at the lead change data as well as the overall average leads in the NBA. Phoenix led SA by something like 20 in the third before losing. The NBA, where virtually no leads are safe.
Too true.

Though the Wolves did sort of play them kinda tough in the playoff series, sorta, kinda... I wonder if there's something there.

You are right about that series and it bears watching.

I love it when otherwise dominant teams have a few others who aren't as talented but always give them fits. Except when its Miami of course.

Is Brissett good? Everything I’ve seen this year makes me think he is a playable guy.

So the Sox suck and the Pats suck but at least the Bruins are good and the Celtics appear to be…..pretty frigging awesome.

Regular season playable. Can't shoot, and can't finish at the rim. Probably not playable to a significant extent in the playoffs.
I do like the guy. I love his effort. I love his activity and impact on offensive rebounding... But you don't need to guard him, really.

I know winning like this helps a lot, but I feel like every time they show the starters on the bench the last two games they are always talking and laughing. Seems like different vibes from last year

He's good on a team where he's never going to be expected to score more than a few points a game. He's perfect for what they need off the bench, play hard, athletic, and not awful

Yup, very different vibe.
The last few years it would not be uncommon to be down 15-20 in the first half. That's not happening this year as long as everyone stays healthy.

He can play in the playoffs without needing to score.
He can finish okay in roll players way. He probably a better finisher on catches around the rim than Grant.

Regular rotation scored 109 in 3 quarters and the bench mob outscored any of those quarters in the 4th. Didn't see that coming.
