Message: [QUOTE="nzm136, post: 2620073, member: 2531"] Or, another way of looking at it is limit the number of possessions and the importance of depth, because fewer possessions means random chance plays a bigger role in the game (thereby favoring the team w/ a talent disadvantage), and since the difference in talent of starters is usually less that the difference in talent of backups, limiting the importance of depth also favors the team at a talent disadvantage. Some would call it “meatheaded” other would call it “understanding math and maximizing chances to win.” The truth is that very few systems are inherently bad in the abstract. They’re only bad in the context of certain situations, and wildly labeling systems as “meatheaded” and “dumb” irrespective of context is intellectually shallow. [/QUOTE]
