There's an inherit problem with any sort of scrimmage game. It has nothing to do with the games not being real or meaning anything. It has nothing to do with the intensity of the players.
The problem is that every good play is also a bad play. When it's Boiler on Boiler, a basket made is a basket allowed. Do you give the credit to good defense or blame the offense for a bad possession? Do you applaud the shooter or curse the defender for not being there? Was Hammons loafing and disengaged, or are Swanigan and Haas that much of a problem in the post for anyone?
