I wasn't supporting any change... I was just making clear that the initial post was about conference tie betweeen two and more teams. I believe that everyone is sane enough not to want head-to-head match as a tiebraker between or among teams from different conferences. I support point differential as the first kicker.

Improve your depth. This is the same for everyone. There are tactics to run up the score - and there is a suggestion thread about it in suggestions.)

Just because you are up by 20+ going into the 4th, doesn't mean you are going to win. I've almost lost 2 such games because of starters being pulled with an entire quarter left. And last I looked, W-L, effect what place you are in, let alone the point differential. And I would hope that everyone in my division would have better starters than my bench, or they don't deserve to be in the division. Just saying it needs to be changed, because 20+ points is not impossible to come back. I've seen my own team score that many in 5-6 minutes.

And point differential is important, so why limit a team that scores 20+ points more than their opponent, and allow teams that only outscore their opponents by 19 to leave their starters in?

Sort of......

It is important (for many) to keep your game shape as high as possible, which means spreading your minutes around a little more evenly. One games sub may be the next games starter. Depth is more important here than in the NBA. Often times in the NBA the team with the most depth wins it all.....except last year of course.

you guys are totally missing my point.

All I'm saying if points matter, don't limit my ability to score them and don't limit my ability to limit them on the other team. That's what is happening when the starters get benched because you outscored your opponent to much in 3 quarters.

Hopefully everyone's starters are better than their subs....if they are not, then they are not maximizing their team. Would you keep Kobe on the bench when it matters, just because you scored a couple more points than 19? You would want to outscore your opponents by 100 if you could, because points matter in this game!!!! So don't take the starters out, is all I'm saying. Your team is being penalized for no reason, because it has outscored the other team by 20+.

Yes, someone is missing the point.

This isnt the NBA, as I said before depth matters more here than there. Believe me or not, disagree or not, its your choice. If Kobe played in buzzerbeater, and his team started him for both league games in the same week, Kobe would get around 90 minutes. Most players would tell you this is too high to maintain game shape. Its important. Therefore unless you have two crucial games the same week, you may need to choose which game Kobe starts, and which he backs up.

Several times I have started 3 of my primaries, and two secondaries and have still got too the blowout level. In this case my backups still have 2 starters and I start to pull away even more. If you are having trouble with them catching up regularly, I maintain my recomendation that you need to improve your secondaries. Part of the strategy is to predict how well you are going to do, and who needs to start. If you know you should blow a guy out, maybe let Kobe B/U and you kill two birds with one stone. Kobes game shape, and a closer win that doesnt rely on your secondaries to hold the game.

Just trying to help.

I agree I just want to add that there are other options to try than just plain starter-backup way. And of course stamina and other things takes place and if BuzzeBeater Kobe would play against BuzzerBeater Bobcats he would foul out anyway,lol.

Edit:typo (at least one)

ok, if i go on, i'll probably get banned....guess i'll have to live with the silly rule, like everyone else, and accept it. "It's just because", your starters get benched when you are 20+ up at the start of the fourth quarter, just because. ;-)
