    That's not as crazy as it appears.

    At least in an NBA All-Star Game you can pick and choose who you want to play at crunch time.

    That's impossible in baseball's All-Star Game, where the starters are long gone by crunch time and you have the 24th and 25th members of each team batting and pitching in the ninth inning.

    And home-court really is important in the Finals . . . so it's not hard to imagine the players really playing harder because of it.

    "Effort" really isn't a problem in a baseball All-Star Game. I can pretty much assume the guy getting his only at-bat in the 9th inning is trying as hard as he can.
