 "What If the coach was so dumb he didn't call a time-out until AFTER his team blows an 18-point lead in the fourth quarter?"
...

90-69 starting 4th quarter.  4 minutes left to go, I'm up 106-88.  Mop-up line-up comes in... he goes on a huge run.  No fouls, no stoppages of play... and with 13 seconds left and my team behind, someone finally fouls so I get my starters back in.  Final score, 115-111, bad guys win.  WTFIS strikes again!

Here's how it went down...

4:00 Hubert Davis is fouled on the 3pt jumper from straight away. Foul #5 on Pearl Washington, team foul #4. 106 - 88

Not to mention Chris Gatling is at SF and Michael Finley at C... WHAT THE ****?  Both are on my depth chart, yes... but Finley is at SF & Gatling at C.

Absofuckinglutely unfuckingbelievable
1/13/2011 2:05 AM
unless...

is your coach Phil Jackson?
1/13/2011 2:11 PM
hahaha... even Phil would have called a time out to get Kobe & company back in the game.
1/13/2011 4:55 PM
Typical terrible sim.  Its even worse when you get beat like that and you actually have your starters in the game.  
1/13/2011 8:22 PM
Wow, now that is taking the effing ****...why do people play this again?

so given the possession indicators, TOs, rbds, even FTAs how was it possible for my opponent to take 11 more shots?
1/24/2011 9:35 AM
2 more offensive rebounds + 3 fewer turnovers + 2 fewer FTAs (i.e., 1 possession) = 6 possessions.  There is not enough information to figure out where the other 5 extra FGAs came from.  

One source of extra possessions is that maybe you had more 3-point play attempts, thus making the FTA difference greater than just one possession.  Another source is that your opponent took the last shot during each quarter, thus leaving you with 4 unused possessions.
