There are times when I wonder why I watch games live
Coming down the stretch, coach subs out my 2 guards who are the best players on the team
From 5:02 to 1:19, they sit on the bench. 2 guys are in the game just because I want to get them minutes for training, Miraculously, they outscore the other team and draw the deficit from 9 to 3.
Down by 3, a player for Marauders picks up his 2nd flagrant foul and gets booted from the game,
At 33 seconds, we tie the game.
The next possession, my best player commits a flagrant foul and MM takes a 2 point lead,
Clock ticks down and times run out as they take a last second shot
IRL, a few timeouts would have been taken to get players back on the court. Down by 2, a coach wouldn't have let the clock just run out. None of it makes sense
If I just look at the box score, I can realize I'm making progress by just losing by 2. But none of it makes sense in RL.
And the fans will hate me for losing at home to a rival in a TV game
Just can't win
