I surrender. You guys are not even arguing the original point anymore.

posters are answering your questions or responding to your comments. If the original point is lost, that's why.

In football, the team has "situational" drills where they might run a prevent on a 3rd or 4th down and distance. This may only get used 3-5 times per season, but it comes at a crucial moment. In basketball, you do the same thing. You may throw a 3-2 out there in a late game scenario if a team is subbing in non-athletic shooters in a late game scenario. This may not happen once, or it may happen 10 times, but working on it is invaluable even if it only comes in play once but wins a game.

CCM may feel more comfortable playing a zone if/when Armani comes in and our shortest guy is 6'4". All that length could be disruptive in a zone, or cause for blow bys in man. In short, I could definitely see why CCM would test his zone out in a meaningless blowout and work it in a few times a week just in case. Anyone know what the lineup running the zone was or if all players were involved in it?
