could you imagine a team which win a lot os happy but not focussed?
Could you imagine a team, which lost some games but trys to do it better?
Could you imagine a team is happy, which seems to reach his target, even when it just was the qualification for the relegation?
The enthusiam manegent is a tactical decision in this game, and in opposition to lot of other poster i don't see it so unrealistic, nearly all NBA team play with lot more intensivity in the playoff then the regular season(this is what i could say as someone don't follow it often), aand also there are games which was taken more seriously in the regular season then others at least in other basketball leagues.
Maybe enthusiam maybe should call more "energy" like it mentioned before, but the system it self isn't that unrealistic as ever said.
