Son: "Actually, traffic is light today. Looks like it will only take 25 minutes on Main Street. Plus there's a wreck on the freeway causing a 10 minute delay."
Dad: "Look, I've been driving there for 30 years. You go 75 mph on the freeway. I'm not sitting a red lights on Main Street. Just doesn't make sense. I'm taking the freeway"
Hahaha, this is perfect!
There will always be a place for the post game - as an option out of the primary scoring opportunity. Everything is percentages. Look for the highest percentage option first, then if a better opportunity opens up in the post, because the perimeter is covered, take it. But why would you seek out lower percentage opportunities as a primary option on a trip down the court, when you can have a higher expected value? Those expected values add up... and when you have a high-powered efficient perimeter offense, the aggregate of those expected value differentials sum up to wins.
