often messing up good PD
I think this is a pretty valid point. The problem with garbage time in BB is that it is not real garbage time.
If you watch the NBA, both teams pull out their starters. Over here we have a team pulling out their starters while the opponent still keeps them in. That has at times led to games where the blown out team almost comes back for a win. Another thing is that NBA doesn't rank teams by PD. But when PD comes into play (the NBA cup) teams were actually trying to run up the score. Meanwhile in BB the coach be like (okay point difference matter but let's be kind and let our opponents score against us so they can shave the lead by 15).
