This is possibly a little reactionary based on how the East C Group shook out, but I think for a 4 match group stage it could be more interesting if the tie-breaker was points differential first then H2H, giving teams more control over their own destiny. For example tonight the Nets were reliant on the Celtics losing to have a chance to progress, as the Cs held the H2H advantage, but if it was points differential then they could have tried to ball out and give themselves a chance.

It also puts more emphasis on margin of victory, which isn't typically a thing of importance in the NBA. Teams might be more willing to put effort in the 4th Quarter of a blowout to either continue boosting that differential or limit the damage, rather than it becoming 12 minutes of garbage time.

"Deandre Jordan in a win over his former team" is one of the most ambiguous things I've ever read.

Doris sounding like D'Angelo asking Stringer where Wallace at with every cry of "What did he do!?"
