Yeah, I don't know. It's mainly from the story-telling angle that happens as the game unfolds.
I do think that my starters would have held the lead if they came back in when it was still a large lead.

I actually could easily see momentum being factored into the BB sim. I've seen momentm shifts and runs that just wouldn't happen with a random distribution of points. I think the BB's tried to mimic real basketball as closely as they could and momentum is definitely a part of that.

Yeah, it certainly seems like it does sometimes.

Since I'm really bored with tanking already, will try a new feature to compliment cws33's tournament recaps. I will do the II.4 player of the week recap. Based on nothing but my own opinion! This is for last week's games covering 3/5 and 3/8.

II.4 Player of the Week:
Lütfi Hadiye (34395310) of PuffPuffPass

Mr. Hadiye led the Puffs to a 2-0 record for week 3, pulling the team to a winning record for the first time this season. He dominated the paint against the San Diego Eagles going 27 and 16 with 2 blocks. He was the game's leading scorer. On 3/8 he was the team's leading scorer once again in a grind it out defensive game against the highly regarded Big Head Todd and the Monsters. He only shot 5 of 17, but had a great defensive game getting 3 blocks and 12 boards while matching up at PF against the league MVP Stuart Vereker.

honorable mention:
1. Alekss Dzilums (26645332) of Serenity Valley Browncoats. Led team to 2-0 record averaging 15 and 19 with a 19.0 rating.

2. Davide Tudisco (20957724) of the Flying Leopards. lead the team from the PG position scoring 21 and 30 points this week.

3. Devon Jones (27250457) of Pwnstars. Had a monster game against Beware of Dogs scoring 36 and getting a 19.5 rating.

4. Mikelis Dziesminieks (25291439) of the Sungrazers. Averaged 29 points helping the team get a win vs the Eagles and a close loss to BHT.

Nice addition to the forum. I will be looking forward to these.

Wow. I nearly rested one player too many against BigShots. Phew!

Well I also didn't have my starting SF or PF in my lineup and tried to sneak some minutes onto my scrubs for GS purposes. Glad I could learn that lesson without it costing me a very avoidable L on my record.

Super Stars vs Div III St. Louis Redbirds (6-2) - The stars will fly high over the Redbirds due to HCA and depth.

Serenity Valley Browncoats vs Div IV Trinikings (7-1) - The Kings have put together a solid Div IV team but with 8 men the Browncoats will drive on through.

The Closers at the Div IV Zekesters (8-0) - The Zekesters are another solid Div IV team and at home but the Closers will close them out with their depth and better game shape.

Bananahorns vs Div IV Brewskies (6-2) - The Bananahorns wont slip up on the Brewskies in this one.

Pwnstrz vs Div IV Carolina Looney Tunes (7-1) - The stars will say thats all folks to the looney tunes another solid Div IV team who will field a good lineup.

II.4 Player of the Week:
Chip Whitesides (24733612) of Flash Mashers

Mr. Whitesides led the Mashers to yet another 2-0 week. He hit 5 treys in a solid win over the SuperStars. Then he scored a weekly league high 41 points and saved the short handed Mashers from almost getting knocked off by the tanking Big Shots. Chip could easily get overlooked on a deep Mashers team but this was his week to shine.

honorable mention:
1. Ahmet Bidikli (31741111) of PuffPuffPass. In the most exciting game of the week, Bidikli willed the Puffers to an OT win last Saturday over the Sungrazers, getting 27 and 17. He was the team's high scorer on Tuesday also to make a 2-0 week for the team.

2. Cleveland Meert (31633703) of the Serenity Valley Browncoats. Meert scored 31 in a win over the SuperStars and helped the team to a 2-0 week.

3. Liang Tingfa (20741162) of the Bananahorns. Tinfa's jumpshot was on this week, even going a respectable 7-16 in a LI offense. He scored 23 and 16 to pull to Bananahorns into 4th in the conference.

Ayy glad to see Chip getting some love! I bought him for the intent of starting in D2 but he's been coming off the bench and giving me some great scoring power against other teams reserves. Very effective, but not exactly a spotlight position. Thanks for the post!
