No idea what happened to the Saturday game!!?!!??
I think its a Schroedinger's cat situation. It both happened and yet didn't happen all at the same time. The game was played, I believe with our tactics as we chose, (Princeton for you?), but for whatever reason never showed up on Saturday. The only person who could fix the problem was unavailable (even though this happens at least once every play off) and by the time he realised something was up (no one told him? really?) the data was lost. So the game shows up as both of us playing base, and mtm. This is undoubtedly not correct but is simply the game replacing the lost data as best it could.
Did it have an effect on game 3? Undoubtedly. I wouldn't have predicted slow and outside. However, I don't believe that would have done anything to the result except delay garbage time. Its the offence that stunk on Sunday, not the D. Also, I was able to watch the replay of the game before the box score showed up. I'm not sure if I could have done that before a quarter to seven but I suspect I could have, and so there's blame I have to accept for the wrong prediction.
Really disappointed that my players' career stats on buzzer manager are now incomplete, and will remain so for as long as I or buzzer manager is going. Might not matter to others but its something that adds to the game for me. Plus, it was the only time we played well.
