This approach does add a certain formality to the in-game experience, which the Clippers had previously lacked. However, I always appreciated the more informal atmosphere at Clippers games. I liked that the Clippers offered fans an experience that was distinctly different from what the Lakers were offering.
This represented yet another delineation between the two teams, as people could choose for themselves which kind of ambience they prefer when they take in a live game. This is why I must admit that when I first heard that the Clippers were going to change to LED lighting that would spotlight the court and darken the stands, I worried that the Clippers had officially gone "Hollywood" on us. It seemed that the Clippers were now openly emulating the other LA team.
There has been so much positive change this summer, but I was absolutely convinced that this was one was unnecessary. However, I decided to withhold judgment until I experienced a game in person.

Scottie Pippen didn't get exactly what he wanted a long time ago, and has let those minor slights govern the entire back half of his life. He wears his disappointments about as heavily as any retired athlete in recent memory. The Blazers and Celtics brought in new coaches to address questions that we may see to be more existential and personnel-based than strategic or cultural.
Sometimes you're just putting a new face on the same disappointment, and sometimes that disappointment ossifies, and then morphs into something worse. Perception of the development within the industry not yet necessarily meeting the same level of enthusiasm Mikey Williams generates on social media, but there is more to the combo guard than fame.
