    Yes, I sympathize that the rule cheapens the competitive nature of the game BUT I can see why it can be part of a strategy. That old "do what it takes to win..." credo? On the other side of the equation, it does give the opponent FREE throws so they can increase their lead or encourages focusing on fundamentals.

    This reminds me of the funny story about Wilt Chamberlain whom they mentioned last night. The Stilt hires a psychologist to get him straight at the charity stripe. After all that, the psychologist who never played ball ended up with a much better percentage than Chamberlain did.

    10-28 is the exact reason they use it... he left 18 points at the line. He basically split the pair 10 times and went zip 4 more times. If the Spurs had scored just 2 points after each of those trips (14 total) they would of outscored the Clips 28-10. Think that isn't valuable?
