re: Is Monty responsible for some of Vasquez’s TOs?

1) Looks like you found a way around one rewrite filter.

2) I think you are right about it seeming magnified.

3) The 3Q is actually more correlated to victory for us than any other season, even when looking at our performances as winning or losing the quarter. In fact, we win half our games where we win the 3Q (6-6). We are 1-18 when we lose it (if I remember right), and in the 1 we lost the quarter by 1. I read this as "Having our starters match theirs is the best chance at victory" (duh!), and the game then boils down to how the backups play. half the time they do well, half the time not . . . which is amazing, frankly.

ETA: Starters, high minute guys, whatever. I don't think being on the court at the tip confers special powers or acknowledges greatness, but that's just me.
