Pfft, I just ask for a bit of training advice every now and then. And I would quit BB if I didn't have him lol


train every week, 48+, single position, if he doesnt get 48+ do stamina or free throws

rotate is, id and re after each pop until your team cant afford it any more, then do some passing and js, then if he is still trainable even 1on1 or od

who needs iwen?

ps - today is the aniversary of the wangs 3 week injury and he is still out - how can i play him now? whatever game he is in goes to an autoloss :(

im sure marmots wanted me to play him vs them and then just forefit the other league or cup game...sorry, maybe the pwnage will get lucky

pps - the west and the south mvps are all done and good, where are the east?

I was telling a manager of one of the players in the U21 team that he needs to reduce the minutes his player plays.

His response?

You don't need to worry about his gameshape, I play him using TIE so his gameshape should be fine


Then I told him he played 150 minutes last week.. And TIE doesn't reduce the impact of those minutes..

lol

i have been helping out barbados and even the team managers seem to have no clue

maybe it is time to get xie an underage id and put him on the u21 team

or better yet isnt there a bug that lets you put players on your own team on the u21 team, slip ton, mcarthur, dell and tau on for a bit and see what happens...

When (and that's a big when, trust me, it took me over a year and it's the same for many of my friends) you get in, you can never get out.... O_o

What do you mean by when you get in? Do you mean when you start studying law? Or do you mean when you start working for a law firm once you've graduated from law?

Possessions are limited in a game, because the time is limited. There is no question about that. There is never an unlimited amount of possessions in a game of basketball. It's just simply not possible.

Because their are a limited number of possessions, keeping a player to 1-17 is more beneficial to your team than what 0-8 is. that's not to say 0-8 isn't a good job, it just means 1-17 is a better job.

Sorry but that is simply wrong. Time is limited (even though it really isn't because theoretically you can have an unlimited number of overtimes), but the possessions are not limited. I refer you back to my example with the numbers. Are you saying there is a limited amount of numbers between 1 and 3? There is an unlimited number of numbers between any 2 numbers, just like there is an unlimited number of potential possessions between any increment of time.


Possessions are limited, dut to the time restraint. We're not talking about unlimited overtime periods, we're talking about a 48 minute game (that's the amount of time that was played in the game in question).

Anyway, back to my point. Time limits the number of possessions available. Fact. Let's take an extreme (and completely absurd) example - in a game of basketball it's simply not physically possible to have more than one possession per second (it's arguable that's even possible, but we will digress). Given a 48 minute game, that limits the number of total possessions available to 48 x 60 = 2,880 possesions in a game (completely ridiculous, but I'm using it only as an example). 2,880 becomes the limit as it is physically impossible to have anymore possessions in a 48 minute game.

We are bound but what is actually physically possible! There can't be an unlimited number of possessions, given the time constraints, as it is not physically possible.

Bah you completely ignored what I wrote.
Let me try again.
Consider the number 1 and 2. Now how many numbers are between 1 and 2? The answer is there is an infinite amount.
In the same way, the number of possessions in 48 minutes is infinite because between any 2 possessions it is possible for there to be another possession. Simple fact.

So possessions are not limited by time restraints. I agree that in a real basketball game it is impossible to be switching possession every second, but in a simulation it is not impossible as it is based on probability.

You said the limit is 2,880 possessions, but why can't there theoretically be 2 possessions every second? Or 3 possessions? Or 10 possessions? There is no limit.

You're being unrealistic now, so there's no point.

Speak BASKETBALL terms, not mathematics.

The original question was in a game of BASKETBALL which is more beneficial to your team: a defender holding an opponent to 0-8 shooting, or 1-17 shooting? We're talking real basketball, not a simulation; therefore we are limited to what is physically possible. I think everyone will agree 10 possessions per second is physically impossible.

Sure, I could simulate a game with 10 possessions per second if I wanted to. But why would I? It wouldn't resemble a basketball match even in the slightest, so we wouldn't even be having the original discussion in the first place.

The number of possessions in a game are limited, given there is a time restrain in place. It's a statement of fact, not an opinion.
