It's fixed

I must say it was a much closer call than I thaught, especially seeing that your PF Rosenberg (3th best player of your team) also got injured in the beginning of the match (how much bad luck can you have ...). The difference was only made in the last 5 minutes. Seeing the final boxscores, I don't understand why it was so close. Comparing to the match of Vottem against Tumastarss where he destroyed Tumastarss, I don't see a lot difference.

I'm also surprised that Vottem didn't win his match against Gravedingers, but I think the homecourt adventage will have made the difference here. I'm ready to compete you @Grumble in the finals!

Surpised as well by the lose of Joe, but the strangest thing is the amount of fouls of his C and PF, he lost the game without them... I think their Shot Blocking or Insinde Defense isn't trained really well yet and that made the difference I guess.
(Looking forward to the right analysis to)

I think Union had still some really strong players next to the weaker guys, but the difference is really small, surprised as well about that... Home advantage? Enthousiasm?

Okapi will stay in our league, Wallonia did it really good but they have to start over in D.III, good luck!
St George managed to win his away game really closely and is the absolute favorite with an higher enthousiasm next game to win against Fredo.

Last but not least, it's still possible for me, I did everything right, my shape is good now, not great but way better than last game. Now I'm thinking about my tactic and his tactic... But the home advantage will kill me... The close games in the middle of the season against Basketcats and Falco has killed me, I had to pick one instead of both... Too greedy... Still crossing my fingers to.

Good luck to Fredje and Gravediggers! Both deserves a spot in BBBL, but I cross my fingers for Fredje!

Given the circumstances (without Sas and without Rosenberg most of the game + the 6th foul of Raubo in the beginning of the 4th quarter) it was much closer than I expected. It was 70-72 at one time but playing without any interior kill me at the end.

The difference between our game and the one of Joe is the position of the patient player. I played my best outside player against your center. Tumasstars played it with a PG with a bad GS at the PG position.

Don't say stupidities please. My inside defense was higher than the one of The Gravediggers, the matchup ratings inside (115.6 vs 87.7 and 99.9 vs 65.6) were in my favour and by a lot.

They made both 6 Fouls? That means a lot of Shot Blocking or Inside Defense, at least in real life. I see this game a lot like real life but it is not always the right perspective. So sorry if I said something 'stupid'...

In real life your defense could be better as well but if you make a lot of fouls, it's normal they score less. My analysis was a difference in free throws actually. Gravediggers tried more due the fast tactic and your young unexperienced 'Big mans' has a too low Shot Blocking ratio I assumed, that could explained the amount of fouls. But I don't know seems like a logic explanation, because the national team looks to SB as an non important secundary skill...

But with your experienced you will be very sure about this I guess? But you can't know the whole game engine or am I wrong again?

So what did you do, you put your best player against their opposite player or against their worst player?
I've actually never really used the switching of defense in positions, never saw the point in it when you have a balanced team against a balanced team.

I put my best offensive player Antovic to attack against his center to create a mismatch. As my player has better outside skills than the center he mostly plays outside (12 3pt shoot) where he can be more efficient than inside. If I played patient with Antovic as a SG he would have been defended by a player with better OD. It is a good tactic when you have nothing to lose but it is not a tactic to play it all the time.

Regarding the switcing positions in defense, it can be used if one of your outside player has lower OD than the two others. There you put the "weakest one" on the lowest scoring opponent.
For example if your PG has 15 in OD, SG 17 and SF 12 and the opponent scoring are PG 20ppg, SG 9ppg and SF 18ppg. You put your PG on the SF, your SG on the PG and your SF on the SG. In that case you have to pay attention that your PG has sufficient ID to avoid being dominated inside by the SF.
