And besides the fact of statistics, just think about it logically. Why wouldn't you choose one rushed possession and one solid, stable possession over just the one solid, stable possession?
The extra, rushed shot is a bonus, so why would you ever turn it down?

I guess it is my preference. A solid 2 pointer puts the pressure all on the other team to get 3 points somehow. Then you play defense and unless rc has called all of his timeouts ( which he has been having to do lately ) you get a look at a win even if tied.
Or they run the shot clock down so far that they take a rushed shot. It would appear getting to three up is the way to go.
I understand the extra shot being a bonus, but being up three is more valuable to me. Of course carter is saying being up 4 is even better.
