How is this "cheating"? The only team it hurts in the team that did it in the long run...but maybe not. If it makes it so they have a better chance of making it further in the playoffs, why not do it? This is real life people...you can't tell me that if you had two choices to go from A to D, and there wasn't a good chance of A-B working, but A-C might work...you would do the A-C route every time if you come out ahead.
