Damn...
There are slight differences in playing times for the starting five (foul trouble and maybe injuries ?). But still, that must hurt.

Whether or not they deserved to win a game
They worst part is that under the same conditions, same tactics, same lineup, same everything
there's a 26 point swing between the 2 games, ok fouls and free throws etc
But it's a bad look for the new manager, knowing that basically 25 % of the result is based on pure randomness

I always wondered if friendlies were not in reality always played on neutral court despite the fact of defining an home court

I'm extremely happy that I won the right game:D Haha...but talking seriously about BB and future of this game in general, the result of the scrimmage shouldn't be ignored. Honestly, I can't imagine how it's possible to lose having such a big advantage (by some random factors?).

I don't know, maybe the scrimmage games are played on different rules (a different engine?) but if the random factor could affect the game that much it would be crazy. Maybe Justin could refer to this.

One more thing: I remember similar tests (as we did with manager of Poland today) with the same lineups, the same conditions) long time ago in the past. Then results were the same. Something had to be changed. When? I think changes in engine should be clearly annunced.
