Can you tell me something about the rebounds distribution in this game?


SAN** ANTONIO put more into this game than Smelly Cats.


Does it mean that more attitude give you more rebounds? If so, then i am really surprised why I lost rebounding in my last game (4098612) . I played CT against Normal and had a full level higher rebounding, but he got way more rebounds than I did (8/47 against 17/55). Have I missed something?

I think its been stated that more attitude improves your chances across the board. It's also been stated that there is a certain amount of random elements involved in the gameplay. If you had gotten 4 more rebounds in that game then you would have tied for rebounds at 51 apiece, right? Is that really the definition of "way more"? A ratio of your team rebounding level compared to his would be about a 6:4 ratio in your favor, but I have no idea how that breaks down on an individual level within the game engine.

If the margin of error (random) is 15%, you'd still be within it.

You'll have home advantage in Game 2.

Any three for me
Any four will score

ok, i didn't write it clear. He had way more offensive rebounds (17 to 8). In my opinion we have to look at offensive ones, because defensive rebounds depend on number of missed shots by each team.

Thx for the answer ;)
Then I have to conclude that I was just unlucky :)

Seed has absolutely nothing to do with the relative strength of teams. I find it problematic to make any verdicts of win probabilities based on seeds.


Really? Absolutely nothing? I agree that seed might not be a perfect indicator, but the team that won more games over the span of a season will have the better team in the vast majority of the cases.

Probably. Maybe. But you won't even know how much better (hence the stress on 'relative'). The fourth seed can be almost as good as the top team (and will be, in the long run), but in some leagues it can even be a bot.

Plus, it is always possible that a stronger team lost some games because they were concentrating on the tournament.

In view of all this, I find it extremely problematic to commit to any sort of percentage probability of how often the lower seed should upset the top seed.
