Call me a purist, but I don't see why the last minute...2 minutes....8 minutes...whatever...needs to be treated any differently form the rest of the game. The NBA is ruining the game of basketball.

It really makes perfect sense. No one really cares if the ball bounces away from a thrower or if a thrower deliberately wastes a couple of seconds when there is 7 minutes left in the 2nd quarter....those 2-3 seconds are irrelevant. However, if a team is up by 3 with 25 seconds to go, 2-3 seconds can make the difference. Stopping the clock on the make and resuming on the throwin completion simply eliminates the opportunity for a team to unfairly burn a few extra seconds when they really matter.
