Oh, it's a perfectly intelligent strategy in the context, I just think it points out a flaw in the context (as I amended, I don't hate that it's done, I hate that it works). It's not so much good defense as exploiting crappy offense and sloppy ball handling skills. Implement a full court press against non-amateurs and you'll get burned every time.
Now, if the whole team could move the ball the way Love does, it'd be a different story. The kid's got skill.
