Message: [QUOTE="CuseCPT, post: 1222928, member: 645"] As others have pointed out in later posts, you just can't replicate some aspects of playing the game in practice. Namely the psychological aspect. Hell, maybe you're right, maybe it is irrational that playing in front of 25,000 people is different then playing in a practice gym. Irrational or not, it [I]is[/I] different. Yeah a steady stream of minutes throughout the season is not going to put muscle on a guy, or fix a mechanical issue in a jump shot but it is going to get them used to performing in the situation they were ultimately recruited to perform in; a basketball court in the middle of a sea of screaming people and TV cameras.
