a bit unlucky, but not so weird you gorgot to mention that you play away ;)

The average scoring chanches was roughly the same, but you lost the rebounding battle through bad luck. Also your opponent makes very few fouls.

I believe playing an inside tactic would be the better choiche, but saying it afterwards it easy but then you would have trusted your bigs more who are superior.

First, thank you for responding.


I thought being away was already factored into the ratings?

Then, I agree, I should have done look inside, or low post, but I thought my offense was more balanced than it actually was.

Thanks again.

i think rating and the matchup rating of the opposing guards was ok,to play it and the rebound rating is the rating i trust most ;) And the matchup rating should be ok too, when the player take some shots.

The main reason you got killed on the glass is that you played 1-3-1 defense. It's advantage is it matches up great against an outside based offense (which you called correctly) but it does so by leaving you exposed on the glass.

I never play it, If I'm going to match up with an perimieter defense I'll always use 3-2 instead.

Well I can tell you why you lost...

You had a 4k guard against a 22k guard.

And he has a better balanced team.
