I think you are confusing Chandler on a good team with Kaman on a bad team. People were cheering because Kidd would also throw him timely alley-oops that usually capped or started a run. I doubt that people would be cheering all that hard if Chandler was throwing down a dunk when we were down by 20 against Charlotte.

Wrong. Points are not just points. Dominating someone on the boards and dunking right in their grill has a profound effect mentally. How many times have you seen the complexion of the whole game change on a single dunk? Why do you think coaches usually call timeouts after big dunks or alley oops?

Because box scores tell the entire story.
