ok, this is why i was always flunking math classes . . .
then, according to your statement, if i do stamina training a third week, then his chances of rising a level is even less!
i suppose my problem is saying "likely", as though it were chance. i think it is, rather, the result of work (minutes played) -- sort of like if i pile sand up, the sand is very likely to form a bigger pile with each shovelful. the chart actually relates the average rise (or fall) as a function of minutes played. the average between 40+ minutes and a bit under 80 minutes is a positive increase in GS. if my player's minutes were within that range, and it was, for two weeks running, i was suggesting, awkwardly, that if such minutes produce a positive increase once, then a second time with minutes within those limits should be that much more likely to produce an increase. i suppose i could start to mumble at this point about sublevels, but in my colloquial formulation, i would say that "the odds are of an increase are pretty high" based on the information on the graph.
but apparently he has a deep bone bruise on his knee and is going to be hobbled through the playoffs, no matter how many minutes i get out of him.
