I played LI in this game, and my starting center who has 11 JS and 18 IS takes 3 shoots the whole game.

He takes less shoots than anyone one on my team including all my backups.

How does that make any sense?

29 points up at the beginning on last quarter...and i lose.

Scary that you gave up 5 points in the first quarter and 41 in the fourth - where your opponents started on a 24-2 run. Going 0-6 from the free throw line in the last minute stopped you from putting the game away but I can't see any scenario where you should see a lead disappear like it did.



I was watching the match, and I left at the beginning of fourth quarter sure of my victory. I've been talking with some other experimented managers and no one has seen something like that.

I understand how unbalanced was my team, great difference between starters and bench players but...come on!! when starters came back situation was exactly the same. Was a mess!

After that, i sold all my bench players, and bought new ones, with arms and legs.

I am certain I've never seen anything like that. Games completely turning from being controlled by one side to controlled by the other, yes. Long stretches where one team simply cannot score while the other almost never misses, yes. Leads built up over three quarters getting completely overturned quickly in the fourth, plenty of times. I'm still in II because I lost a 16 point lead over the final 16 minutes. But never a lead of 29 points demolished in the fourth quarter -- I imagine there's probably some example somewhere of a 30 point lead lost in a fourth quarter just because of the nature of randomness, but I don't expect I'll ever find one.

3 7:02 89 — 53 S. Kávai (A) pulls up at the top of the key and takes a shot under pressure from B. Willaerts (H). Scored.

Up 36 seven minutes to go in 3/4 and still lose by 16!!!!! Amazing, 65:13 from that moment for home team, last quater 44:9!!

I understand that flow can be important, but the center should have still gotten more FG attempts.

It was a 3 point game with 2 minutes left.

I think if my center takes more FG i have a good chance at winning the game.

The crazy thing is, my team efficiency rating was 102 to 94.

I cant remember the last time i lost a game with a higher efficiency rating.

When it comes down to it, this game perplexes me sometimes in how it works.

I won the game, but actually the opponent ...
i. Have home court advantage
ii. Normal enthuasism
iii. Have better team-rating, especially IS and the offense strategy is look inside

Can someone try to explain the case, please?

his best player fouled out in 25 minutes and many others on his team were in foul trouble, meaning his best players were not on the court for very long. Free throws were also a pretty big factor I think. You shot about the same amount but he only hit 16-30 and you made a much better percentage in 24-29. That is an 8 point difference which had a huge impact on the game I think. A couple lucky threes and BAM you were set. Certainly not a probable win, but not too surprising in my opinion.
