Mostly you lost because you couldn't contain Soler. He controlled the flow of the game on both sides of the ball for the entire first half. Sadly, not much you can do against a guy with 1mil DMI. You did have a depth advantage but slowing the game down with LP and a zone didn't push his starters at all.

When you're trying to avoid a PG like Soler or your team has lower flow, speed up the game, play Man and a higher paced offense, move your best OD/H defender to guard him.

The 5 fouls on your SF Large was a problem. He's always aggressive anyway. Sometimes low Experience or Handling skills much lower than his opponent is the problem. Sometimes low ID if they have high Driving skills. Is his OD above Mediocre? I'd start with him if you're looking to upgrade a guy before the finals. Maybe get lucky and find a pure defender with 8-12 on both defenses, 8 handling, 8 passing, 8 rebounding. doesn't matter what his shooting is as long as you can afford it.

Effort should have been close for both teams so thats probably not the reason. Road games just suck.

Why did I lose this game? Was it primarily because of fouls???

Looks like it. But that could be also a result from his 2nd chance points. 14 v 7 offensive rebounds means he had 7 more possesions.
edit: he had 10 more possesions (total rebounds), 7 of which came after an offensive rebound

Man, that sucks! Really felt like I had the better team, and should have won.

Whay I loos this game?

Has anyone ever had a game where their players made 52 free throws and their opponents only made 6? My players' salaries are 900k and they all have over 140+ skills and their opponents' salaries are 300k.

Very interesting. I never saw such a game. Comparing the attacks with the opponents defenses, it seems to be alright, he stays better. But those ratings are influenced also because the only thing you lost: waaay to much fouls!!! Three players of you were out because of maximal permitted and other 2 players were almost to do the same!!!

In my head the only reason that I can't find it, as reason, is that your players have no stamina!!! You are the only who can confirm this...

I know I lost because 52 free throws were called against me. My players don't make more than 15-20 free throws against much stronger teams, and this time they made 52, what's the reason for that?

The opponent has to have much better rebounding. He sacrificed some rebounding going with the 3-2 zone and still managed to outrebound Dugave2019 with 55-37 TR. We don't know the skills of the players so this is very speculative.
