Agree. +1.

The one real life argument in favour of stamina being less of an issue in clutch situations is Jimmy Butler averaging 43 minutes in the NBA finals, including a 47 minute effort in game 5 to keep Miami alive. But what happened as a result of Butler barely resting in games 2-6 was that he was too tired to defend, and LeBron become even more dominant in the series than he usually is.

On the flip side, BB players can only play 2 games a week without taking huge GS penalties. This is a very light load by NBA standards. Many aspects of BB are unrealistic, but that doesn't always mean there's a problem.

Regarding roster size, larger rosters currently have the advantage of being more resistant to injuries and foul outs. They're also able to balance competitiveness in league and cup play, while maintaining good game shape. Their only weakness is that in must win games, top-heavy 5 man teams can beat them.

Like I said before, if you change this and weaken 5 man teams, then you're eliminating part of the strategy. Just get 8 good players and you're set for the league, cup and B3.

Another problem with this is that larger, deeper rosters are usually more expensive in terms of salary, so we may go back to a situation where it's the richest team who always wins in B3.

Well i have experienced (as NT coach) significant increase in foul tendency of various players trying to train! Is this change in GE towards short rosters?? If so, this is again BB-ish decision. Very lame.. Player that was not foul trouble for 3 seasons suddenly cant make 48mins due to fouls.. 2 games in row.. And there is more like that i am being notified by our managers!

May I have a look at those players? I'm interested in these things.

lets start with these 2. One is mine, one is our NT future prospect. It started january 21st. Especially mine is very very suspicious. But also young prospect wasnt acting like this before - he had 3,5f/g, now he is ca 12/g!!!
