Message: [QUOTE="pfister1, post: 2911421, member: 285"] If you are going to consider margin of victory or defeat as a point of comparison you’d also have to consider total points scored. Right? Worse to lose by 10 in a 50-40 rock fight then in a 100-90 high octane affair, isn’t it? Also what do you make of a game that is a close game going into the final minute but the margin gets blown out as the trailing team tries unsuccessfully to narrow the gap by fouling and rushing offense to create extra possessions? I guess the opposite of that is more familiar to us. You have a safe lead and then go into the JB stall mode, valuing long drawn out possessions over additional points. [/QUOTE]
