its not about him fouling out or not. Its the fact that his defense does not get any worse from that point on. In real life he would be on the bench. Lets forget about that for a sec. The player in foul trouble does not want to foul out so they reach abit less and the contest shots less and they are not in your face when your going to the basket. Which should mean that the opposing player should have better looks during the game which does not look like it happened n this game or allot of other games i have watched over the seasons.
You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when youre sittin at the table. Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.
