I think that is a valid strategy when the other team is getting in front of everything. Blocking shots is painful and if you force them to block big shots, eventually it will wear on their will to continue doing it.

You could see as game 7 in the last series was closing, the Dallas players were much more apprehensive about standing in the way of shots.
