In season 7 I asked this very question and the answer was that each possesion is calculated and it factors in everything for any given shot(stamina,JS,JR, the passing of the player who passes the ball) and comes up with the outcome. One GM said the closest thing to it was Dungeon And Dragons, or any dice rolling game, where as you can have a stronger opponent and still beat him by rolling the dice higher as in my 20 sided dice against a 12 sided dice example. It is just odds. For the game lastnight, you know that you ran LI, so any 3 ball you shoot isn't going to be your best shot, Mizik ran Patienct, so his guys were looking for the 3 ball. Take my game lastnight, I ran an 8,7,6 ODs at the PG,SG,and SF...even though Swoosh lit them up, he didn't shoot 100% from 3, because an 8 OD can stop a 16 JS 12 JR about 20% of the time.
Just my oppinion

I didn't say anything different. What I'm saying is that the simulation probably would take a split second for the script to run. In all likelihood, the program figures in all the permutations and combinations and comes up with somewhat random scenarios - factoring in the individual/team data... and creating the game we see. Which is just another program deciphering that data into the way we view it here.

Here is an even better example.....today's Dallas vs Portland(I know you were loving that finish)
Your boy Aldridge who hasn't hit a three all season and has only taken 9 total, drains a 3 with Marion(above average defender) in his face with 4 seconds left to tie the game and send it to OT. Now that was crazy..

Yeah, I hear ya but....even a 1JS has a chance to hit a 3 on a 20 OD, it might be only a 1 in 2000 chance, but it still is a chance right?

Dear god Wolph... that novella-length reply to basically agree with me?

I have no idea why you're so hung up on order. I am quite certain that the "individual plays" are not run first. I would bet it's: result first (based on raw data from teams/individual players), then the play-by-play is extrapolated from that.
Newsflash: it doesn't really matter.

Of COURSE game results could be manually edited. I very much doubt that anyone's gone to the bother of doing it to you tho'. I think you're just having a run of bad luck.
May I point out that you have had - as well - a very good string of *GOOD LUCK* in recent seasons.

Oh... and by the way: games like WOW very rarely get hacked, they find exploits. There's a massive difference. The BB servers would be completely secure, and we send far less information to them than they do in an MMO. Exploits would be very rare in a browser game, and *hacking* would be pretty damn difficult.

Congratulation for winning B3 play off game.

By the way like to read all of discussion, including malice and YC.

Errr... what? You don't think they could afford security? Ummm... pray tell: what DO they spend their money on then?
A HELLUVA lotta people here pay for supporter.
Hell Wolph, the fact that only the BBs have access, and that access would require a password makes the servers relatively secure.

I'll tell you what surprises me wolph, that you've written paragraphs upon paragraphs to assert that your games are hacked. It's more than a little a) conspiracy theorist, b) self-centered, c) both 'a' and 'b'...
