Open Thread: The case against second halves

I’ve probably only finished a handful of things I’ve ever started and, honestly, regret most of those, which is why I was disappointed to see the Spurs and Celtics come out of their locker rooms after having already played 24 minutes of perfectly convincing basketball. It was even more galling that they’d ignore all statistical probability (S/O Inpredictable) and not call it a night.

Nevermind what happened in the next 29 minutes, or that the Spurs will eventually want to have multiple crunch-time options, or that they haven’t been able to reliably inbound the ball since Kyle Anderson left, or that they have a -4.
