Let's take a look:
DMI: I'm not a believer that DMI will tell you everything but I know some people around here believe in it strongly. I think it does give you a general sense of the combination of primaries + GS impact. It is at least a good point of comparison.
Himachies top 5: 1,216,800 464,000 362,800 347,300 161,700
NewStar top 5: 1,292,500 806,000 484,600 410,500 173,400
Let's compare two more things for the same 5 guys in the same order.
Salary:
Himachies: $191,456 $81,559 $94,255 $62,264 $16,955
NewStar: $87,828 $44,989 $82,165 $43,186 $19,841
Game Shape:
Himachies: 7 7 5 7 8
NewStar: 9 9 7 8 8
Assuming that higher salary is an indication of higher skills, New star has offset Himachies skill advantage by having better Game Shapes to gain a small DMI advantage.
Then add to that a couple other factors.
- New Star was the home team so gets home court advantage
- New Star put more effort into the game giving them a little more advantage
- New Star picked wrong on both Game Day Prep items. which would offset the above to some extent.
So, this outcome doesn't seem wrong at all. You made two mistakes. 1) Letting your game shape slip and 2) Not recognizing your were coming in weak and assumed you would win automatically, letting him put in more effort.
