I don't have problem with loosing. Ok, his 4 players are better than mine whole team. My problem is that we played equal game, 5 on 5, 2,5 quarters, and when he was left with 4 players he won the game. Thats what doesnt make sense...

On the other hand, when the player who fouled out committed his final foul, you were behind by 8 points:

But, yeah, games can have weird streaks. I started my last league game, a very important home game, down 10-0 after six minutes and had the lead by the end of the first. I've had other games where the game has completely turned around at halftime, or games where one team dominates the first and fourth quarters and the other owns the middle quarters. Weird stuff happens.

I'm not sure whose rules we attempting to emulate but in the NBA this would have happened.

BTW, this is not a forfeit or a walkover, so maybe should actually look up the rules before commenting on what they think should happen without doing research.

RULE NO. 3—PLAYERS, SUBSTITUTES AND COACHES
Section I—Team
a. Each team shall consist of five players. No team
may be reduced to less than five
players. If a player in the game receives his sixth
personal foul and all substitutes have
already been disqualified, said player shall remain
in the game and shall be charged with a
personal and team foul. A technical foul also shall
be assessed against his team. All subse-
quent personal fouls, including offensive fouls, sh
all be treated similarly. All players who
have six or more personal fouls and remain in the g
ame shall be treated similarly.

I remember this exact scenario with the Lakers last season. Anyone else remember? Yes this would be ideal, but unfortunately I think it would mess with the GE, and we would have even more people complaining about how "their player has 8 fouls and is still draining threes on my team, it isn't fair". Main reason is simply it would probably mess with the GE.

One thing is for sure. Basketball is always a game of streaks, so if your team is good, it will come on top at the end most of the times. You just have to ride the highs and lows when you are watching the game online, which can make it fun.

rules are listed by someone else regarding how many players = walkover

secondly, i remember when i used to play BB where we only ever had 6 or 7 guys on our team. It was proper competition but obviously not that high level.

when we had players foul out early, and had to continue with 4 players, we won more often than we lost. and conversleywhen we came up against a team who suddenly only had 4 players, we lost more than we won.

why?

Well, probably be cause we thought it would be easy, but often it was because a box defense really upset the offensive flow. we didnt know how to handle it. and same with the opposition, they would'nt pass it around it looking for the open player, they would just keep driving, so we just had 4 guys block the paint.

plus we put in extra effort when we had 4 players.

so its not that unreasonable. I know its crap, but hey, it used to be crap when we lost to a team of 4 players.

Your right. It would only cause more people to complain. Maybe the new game shape changes will reduce these "incidents" from happening.

michael wolf and fab manager got it right.

the lucky fan was michael jordan watching the cup game , while on vacation in belgrade.

i think tometic's opposing coach, instructed his player to deliberately foul out so that they can pick michael jordan, who they spotted as early as the ist quarter in the luxury box, seated next to the owner
