what the H@$$%%^&^&&((,

i cant believe i got upset, i mean congrats to the team that beat me! but man, its like kingdom come!

my top PG got cooked by the ref, the number one scorer in the league suddenly went blanks, mr double double got himself tied up i dont know how, everything went to limbo! couldnt even get close.

anybody wants my players im planning on rebuilding and start at the bottom, so frustrating just look at my players stats if you are interested im sure some of you would be quite interested.

u have been crunch timed! I guess
and your oppenent used a slightly better tactic.

how can i know if im being crunch?

yes he got a better defense on perimeter to match my phoenix suns like offense, geesshhhh. . .

if he went to overdrive its just like handing the win to the next opponent unless the other team also went crunch time, interesting really our group the top 2 teams were given an upset! hooray!!!

Well, the other team probably crunch timed.

But he chose a good defense for your offense tactic and they just happen to have a national team player that performed extremely well...

dude,

to say something like he got a national team player on his team and i dont isnt fair.

i mean my team fought hard to stay on top of the standings, i never welcome the invite on joining any of my players because i cant understand the guy.

i know some people who leads their division and not even one player got elected in the national team, so does that mean that team sucks. its like a all star player getting snub at the all star game.

im still pushing for the clean up sale

Let's take a second and calm down here. I can think of several reasons why you lost (and only one of them has to do with crunch time).

1) you got outrebounded by 15, that's pretty sizeable. This could have somethign to do with a possible crunch time, but this is also because...

2) you only shot 27 of 96 (or 28%) from the field, and you went 9 of 38 from 3!
If you shoot 38 3 point attempts and only make 9, you're probably going to lose, even if your opponent didn't crunch time. Run n Gun causes your team to shoot a LOT of three pointers, and if your team can't knock them down, it's going to cost you.

3. you had 25 personal fouls to his 14, which let him get 30 free throw attempts to your 21. Do your guys have bad stamina, or bad defense? Something is causing that. Also, he had a better FT % than you did, so maybe you could train these two skills in the offseason to help out some.

4. He knew exactly what tactic you were going to do. You always Run n Gun, so his 3-2 zone was obvious. Try to be less predictable, especially against bad teams where you don't need to run n gun.

Don't get down on yourself, there's no need to sell the team and rebuild.

looking at your reasons, i see 3 having to do with crunch time...

pardon me there,

just couldnt get a hold yet!

also thanks for the advice :D i should have tried other things on weak teams anyways thanks!

well said,

really appreciate this deep analysis moutlinho, deepest thanks!

boy! now it seems my income has been slash short, and my draft list is blank, seems a bad next season!

but its ok, i dont think he can win the next game if he crunched me unless his opponent crunch the game last time.

Then please explain how crunch time really works, since obviously you have a better understanding of it than I do.
