Message: [QUOTE="intlzncster, post: 3363643, member: 56"] As has been said previously in the thread, this would only be true if all minutes were equal. They are only in a vacuum, but irl, when changing stakes and fitness levels and all the other levers become involved, this is not true. High stakes, crunch time minutes matter the most. For example: Say game is tied with 1 min to go. Game is tied at the tip as well. Is that first minute as important as the final minute of a tied game? It's not. There's a whole game to play out after minute one, with a variety of ways to win it. But circumstances have changed, for a whole host of reasons, by the final minute. So having that shot blocking presence in the paint in the final minute becomes paramount. [/QUOTE]
