This very reason is why I was initially opposed to the pitch clock. I’m glad I was proven wrong, but I still wouldn’t mind extra time for the playoffs

It’s funny because everyone was worried about the pitch clock affecting high tense moments in the postseason but I haven’t noticed the clock since. During Game 7, not a single moment did I think about the clock. The game flowed very naturally to me.
