Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2008 I like the way WhatIfSports distributes the minutes among players. If you look at some of the Team USA box scores, these provide a very similar distribution to how the real-life all-everything team is breaking up its floor time.

TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2008 Too bad box scores only save a day or two or you'd see that Jorge lost Game 6 when McGrady missed a game tying 12 footer at the buzzer. whatifsports = realistic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
