I was away from home, checked the score, and it looked like we had lost.
now we are back in. what happened?
weve gotten open looks all day long. They starting going down. When Wall sits down they suck. Thats when we made most of the comeback.
Its the NBA, that's what happened. Early leads are meaningless.
No they are not. The opposition has to expend a lot of energy to come back, and this may show up later fatigue wise. Another point is, the lead counts otherwise the opposition's run to tie would have resulted in a lead of equal amount and not just a tie. So an early lead is not meaningless at all.
Are you suggesting that the team that got ahead didn't expand energy to get the lead? How does that work?
You think Boston did not expend any energy when they went down big? More energy is expended trying to get back into the game.
i can hardly wait for the data, stats, and proof for either side to appear.
One just in.... team with early big leads win 91% of the games. From ABC half time studio crew.
and do they have a stat for the winning percentage when the team down by a bundle come back to tie it up later on?
besides, these are silly stats. does anyone really feel surprised that a team with a large lead often wins the game? it is to be expected.
but, the celtics have already tied this game numerous times. this game will stand by itself.
