Up by 9 at 3/4 time in my home-court, my team ended up losing by 6. My team is very young and inexperienced so can I accuse lack of experience or stamina(which is also lacking) to this 'choke'?

...I'm currently last in my conference and the opposition was 4th in the other, also i sued TIE to save up enthusiasm for crunch games so I can scrape in the relegation series and the opposition used Normal so i think it was a pretty good damn effort!! :)

Ye i guess your stamina and experience must have let you down in the end, maybe provide a link to the game you're talking about and some of the experts can let you know what they think

Nothing strange here.
Why didn't you play 3-2?

I think I know the answer it might been in the enthusiasm and I agree with MeMex if you played 3-2 zone you would have won the game

3-2? They played base offense, they have poor shooters (as you can see in this boxscore) and my team is very poor at rebounding. I thought 2-3 would be more effective? I thought they'd just get too many rebounds if i played 3-2...
If I've screwed that up, how wouldve it won me the game

Thanks :D

I think the tactics were fine, your reasoning is solid there.

The 4th quarter loss would be more due to either stamina, TIE v Normal enthusiasm or both.

dires a great manager indeed but i disagree with him on this one.

2-3 is broken in my eyes, in that its just to weak against outside attacks.
even when teams go look inside they still will shoot far too many high % shots from outside against a 2-3.

in my eyes 2-3 was the reason.
