first post here. one of the most interesting results i have ever seen here considering the ratings. (15079542)

both play inside offence, i chose man to man, he went with 1-3-1!!!

well i have no idea how my outside players used so many shots, my inside players are so ineffective. it was a PL game so i wont bother myself thinking about this but there is no logical explanation to my part except the rating are way out of line to be looked at seriously.

Seems like your starting-PG was not able to get the ball to the Inside Players. He got only 1 assist while his backup brought up 5 in considerable less time.

Seems like your opponent was able to attack your PG in a way that he was not even able to get rid of the ball. Therefore he went for 21 FG attempts. Note also the fantastic ratings of your opponents PG and SG, points to great defensive skills.

In your particular case, you might want to invest in guards that actually have some outside defense.

Ok, let´s see if i can get some feedback here.
In the following game i did pretty bad: (15534360)

I know i was the away team and that he put more into the game, but:
1. as far as I know, this is weighted in the points per 100 shots
2. I had 71 shots with more than 113 points per 100 shots probability
3. He had 50 with more than 106 points per 100 shots probability
4. All other shots in the game had a probability of less than 83 pp100 shots
5. I had more shots in total than my opponent

So my question is pretty much, was the loss just bad luck or have I missed/misunderstood something?

I would say that it was not bad luck since he beat you in the first 3 quarters. The 4th quarter was garbage time.

Be careful of game ratings and points per 100 shot ratings whenever there is garbage time. Your pts per 100 are inflated slightly because of it and his pts per 100 is also lower. It gives you a clear picture of the whole game. However, to know why you lost, you would need an analysis of quarters 1-3 only.

Thx, that is a very good point. However, I´m still amazed how his non existent defence made me miss so much. We do take a lot of shots close to the basket, when I look at the shot chart. I guess that could be the thing that made the poor shooting percentage.

interesting boxscore, however
1- you missed a lot of 3-ptrs, he did quite well there - maybe that has to do more with shooting skills (+effort) than with opponent defense?
2- he fouled more and you did badly on the free throws
just my 2c
1- I did miss more shots and 3pointers as well, that is why i lost. But i did have worse shooting percentage all over the floor (26/53 49% compared to 32/54 59% from within the arc). Are you saying that defence dont affect the shooting %? I dont think that is your point, but that is how I interpret your message.

2- But if I had made all missed FT (+8 points) I would still have been far from winning. If we reduce the number of freethrows for extra chances (OR + TO) I end up with 13 of 15 and he 11 of 13. So missing those FT aint good but its not the game either.
