It crosses a lot of folks mind, even to the point of a few questioning if he needs to be in really late because of the TO's. It's great to keep us in the game until crunch time, but the game isn't over...finishing is way more important that the start or the middle. You gotta "win in the end".
It will never "hypothetically not matter if he has a killer 3/4 of a game". If he continues to play like this during crunch time he will simply prove to be a quality player that can't be depended on in crunch time. That will affect his overall value, but it doesn't completely negate it.
