oh i'm aware! my screen name aint cardiaccuse for nothin...it generally has worked...but i still dont like it.

in tourney time...wearing players all the way down hurts...you saw what happened in atlantis - game 3 was a wipe job the legs were gone.  the teams that go far in tourneys generally get a few blowouts to ease the strain and save the legs, imo.

its a good strategy when you have vet players who are good at killing the clock and dont lose their edge when they do...however, for a lot of teams and players...they become shells of themselves in that mode for whatever reason. passive basketball is losing basketball.

it teaches players how to win close games...which is good over the long run.  but its also good to teach them how to blow teams out and extend leads as well.

in some situations - it is definitely the right call...but when you are killing a team and they aint doing anything [I]until you slow down and play kill the clock[/I] and then its get close...not a fan of that. even if you still "luckily" win.
