I'm guessing stamina issues?

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

I don't think, my substitutions played over 10 min. in 4th quarter - this is the problem

well this is really weird:
http://www.buzzerbeater.com/BBWeb/boxscore.aspx?MatchID=8...

I don't see how this game was played 2 of his players went out for PF one of them at min 37 which means he didn't play for almost a quarter and the OT

the other one at min 53 can anyone tell me what happens in those situations and how could my team lose to only 4 players (3 at the end) in the OT

That's indeed crazy. FCP and R&G with overtime and only five players on the roster finishing with 3 players on the court. And that game he wins? Thats weird.

Wtf? I'm amazed, look at the 4th quarter! My coach is foolish and match-engine is lamentable :\\ (shock)
(10401828)

That's really unacceptable.
Losing a game because of garbage time (in a PO game!!!) is simply ridiculous. If it happened to me I would make a real mess for it :)

For what it is worth, there are many suggestions about it in the suggestion forum, included the one I made one season ago (16163.9).
Unfortunately the BBs have not reacted so far.

Lol...you've gotta be kidding me...seriously? You think the problem there was stamina?
You don't think that garbage time had something to do with that game?

Once and for all, would it be possible to have some kind of input directly from a BB to at least uderstand if the way the game engine is handling gargabe time is satisfying to them?

If it happened to me, I would just quit. The fact that it hasn't happened to me or you yet isn't all that reassuring though..what is unbelieavable is that something like that can happen.

And by the way, it's not the first time it has happened. It's just made worse by the fact that it was a playoff game.

Out of curiosity, what was the score and the time when your coach woke up from his catatonic state and decided to put the starters back in?

I'm asking. To better understand things, people ask questions.

Is that a terrible concept?

In general no. In this specific instance, yes.

What is there to understand?
Even a guy who had his team assigned to him this morning could instantly tell that the reason he lost the game is the brain-numbingly stupid garbage time rule.
Either all his players fell dead on the court, or it is simply non acceptable to lose a game in which you are ahead by 31 points at the beginning of the 4th quarter because one team stops trying and the other doesn't.
