Exactly.

Beginning, end,one is not much more important than the other...........in theory.............which is all we are discussing here.

Where did I say I did not care? This why you really need to read the comments and stop assuming (implying) what I meant by my comments. I said there will be more focus on the 5th foul. You do not have to agree with that, but in my experience what happens later in a game is always put more focus on. And the importance of the player to their team, the more they will focus on it. And if you think they the last few fouls of the game are not important, then why does the media focus on the last second shot in highlights? What was wrong with the first minute of the game? Why only show highlights of the end of the game when the other parts of the game are just as important? But my logic is flawed?
