That is my theory as well. I wonder if anyone has more data on this subject.

You actually haven't presented any evidence. What have you seen that actually suggests this? If a long time ago you seem to remember that your player #1 played 60 minutes in a triple OT and didn't go up in GS, whereas your player #2 played 30+30 and did go up, it really isn't much help...

I understand that I haven't presented any evidence. I have none. This is just my theory that I personally believe. You don't have to believe it if you don't want to.

Then this is just as good as those idiots who claim evolution is wrong and believe in something else because it's said in the bible. In my case, I believe that a player decreases in GS if he plays at PG and defends at SG, or if he throws and end-of-quarter prayer from half-court, or if he doesn't commit any turnovers

I guess I'm one of those people you call idiots however it's based on science, I'll name one for example, that a single cell organism cannot come into its own by itself unless you believe that a jet airplane can assemble itself from a junkyard after its being run by a tornado.

The probability of an average protein molecule made up of 500 amino acids being arranged in the correct quantity and sequence in addition to the probability of all of the amino acids it contains being only lefthanded and being combined with only peptide bonds is "1" over 10950. We can write this number which is formed by putting 950 zeros next to 1 as follows:

100.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.00000

But then again we are out of topic.

Horribly misguided and ignorant, but not uncommon.

As far as gameshape and minutes, I personally sense a trend that some players are just easier to keep in high GS, some need more minutes than others. Haven't gotten the feeling yet that the distribution of total minutes between games matters, or that the possible preference a player has for total minutes depends on stamina.

But, these are all anecdotal impressions, and as such have no statistical power to infer the truth.

To what are you referencing?

If I remember correctly from an earlier post, you've been tracking DMI and game shape this season. Could you be more specific in the trends you've noticed, if any?

If there is one thing we know for sure, is that creation "science" resembles nothing remotely close to science... You chose one of the cliche "evolutionists can't answer that! ha!" examples, which is just as valid as "if humans evolved from monkeys, how come there are still monkeys?" and "how do these people find million-year-old fossils if the earth is only 6000 years old???"

If you want to debate on creationism/evolution this is not the place. What I said in my post was exact science, I studied biology, it's something every evolutionists knows, including it's much more difficult for that cell to come on its own than that jet plane assembling itself. If you choose to believe that, then I respect that, and you can go on doing that. I just stated that I don't believe in evolution wholly because of science including findings found by evolutionist scientists.

I'm not going into a debate with someone who can put bible and science in the same sentence and not use the sentence for a joke. I'm not a biologist myself, but if your biology studies in high school still have you leaning towards creationism, than some biology course it must have been! And since I have better things to do, I'll just refer you to someone who should know what he's talking about

Not entering in the discussion, but Richard Dawkins already explained that money part. Google it, just saying.
