Depends on a number of factors, but in general, I consider slow down an upgrade from normal 1) if you have depth issues, or 2) if you expect turnover issues (ie, you’re up against a press and don’t trust your guards BH+pass to handle it well). In theory, if you are up against a better team overall, you may sometimes benefit generally from fewer overall possessions, but if those top two factors aren’t a problem, I go normal.
