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

i nah, its the pro's and con's of the strategy,

the only reward i see if using crunch if your on the championship and your not having home court advantage.

you can crunch on the 1st game hoping you win and get to lose on game 2 and in game 3 crunch again.

by the way how do you do crunch time?
pardon me of my ignorance

When you set the orders for a game, it should appear as a choice at the bottom of the page, alongside the tactics and coaching options.

CT improves Defense.

You gave 2 reasons who could possibly be linked to the improved defense of the opposite team. And another that is semi-linked to improved defense.

1. Rebounds...
2. Bad FG% , which could be caused by the opponents improved Defense.

3. (semi linked) His 14 foults could be a reduced foul count due to improved defense. Maybe if he didn't play CT he would have 20+ fouls.

1. I said in my original post that the rebounds were probably because of CT

2. His FG % is always bad, it's not just this team. If you go and look at his previous games, you'll see shooting percentages in the 35% for from the field and around 20-25% from 3. That's pretty close to what he shot in this game. That's also what he shot in the last game against this team.

Even if CT slightly improves defense, it didn't affect his 3 point %, which is really what cost him this game.

3. This is pure speculation, you have no proof of this.

When did i say i was right and that you were wrong?
Need i explain to you that keywords such as probably, might, possibly, could, all suggest that I'm not sure? Nor can you for that matter. No need to be defensive.

Speculating is part of analyzing and managing, in my opinion. You think of scenario's to try and find out what is the cause of ones failure/success.

You said that 3 of my reasons could be linked to CT, whereas I said only 1 could be linked. This seems to be our disagreement.

You can't just go around saying things might be the case (well you can, but it isn't helpful to sharkboy figuring out why he lost). I've listed stats based on both the game in question and previous games, and you've so far given no evidence whatsoever that your theory of bad shooting % and less fouls are linked to CT.

I agree that there is room for speculation in a game such a this, but not in areas such as game results, when we have solid stats and numbers to examine. Give us something to see your point.

Also, for future reference, I don't need you to explain english to me, and I don't appreciate the sarcasm. If you want to be sarcastic, please go practice elsewhere.

Like i said, no need to be defensive.

Are you suggesting that CT had no effect whatsoever on his FG%, because he shot almost the same % in the previous games? So if i play 2 games against the same team with same tactics and Enthusiasm, one i play normal the other i play CT. In both games he shoots 40% FG. Then if i follow your logic... My CT didn't do anything. I might as well played normal. Correct me if i wrong...

As for the fouls, from personal experience whenever i play TIE, i would get 20+ fouls. When i play normal i would have an average of 15 fouls throughout the season.
It's pretty logical to think that if CT and TIE effects Defense that it also has effect on the amount of fouls. Unless you say that Defense and Fouls don't have a link whatsoever.
