So you are complaining the GE didn't let you steal this one as well?
I not think its question of win or lose, but if the same exactly game , same all, can go with a 26 point delta of difference we are playing from years a game that should be called flip the coin, not buzzerbeater....
Its embarassing for the whole games, for people Who try to analize things, putting efford and time, when things can go anyway in so different way with same settings
Unless one team is far superior, you would expect a variety of results to be possible given the same input. Over a large sample the games would skew towards the best team (e.g TeamA might win 600/1000 games by an average of 3 points), but this is only two games.
It doesn't mean preparing the team is a waste of time, it just means you give yourself the best chance of winning and then it's out of your hands. It happens all the time in real life, especially sports.
