You had really bad problems with fouls. They scored 29 more points from the FT line. Your salary monster have been foul prone before, so you should expect that coming in every game. Sometimes 3-5 fouls, but 6 very often.

And patient does not work that way you descriped. It tries to play shots to your best outside scorer (JS+DR) and is NOT looking for mismatch. People who use reverse patient usually think so, because they have set line up like that they think they have shooter against opponents worst outside defender (usually C). And that's the thing usually, but don't expect that GE is looking other mismatches.

I don't have experience enough to talk about base offence, but seems that it works the way you tought patient will work.

And believe me, I have struggled with theese same issues, with my own team and with Finland NT.

Sure, but he have 3,7 fouls per game rating, and have been kicked to early shower 10 times this season, so it's not that big surprise at least for me.

Only in the last 10 days:
(112061760)
(112061767)
(112061781)

Ok, i lost all these games, I deal with it. I want to progress. Who wants to help me by giving his opinion about my roster ? I need to undertsand my weakness despite my team rates are always better.

thanks.

Stats are inflated due to 3-2 zone, C and PG position salary monsters. But overall teams is competetive. Whcih you can say looking at league standings. Other teams, you lost against are seeds 2,3 and 5, so first two sindicated around same level teams, cannot disregard as much inferior ones.

Your missmatches are good offensively, but shot distribution is way below what at average you would want to. Toomuch bad shots from SG, SF, toofew from PF, C positions, where you have advantage. Your passing rating is very decent, but i think it does not reflect the skills of players.

I think the problem is offensively.

I used to play only LI most of my bb career, back then you needed to find not only obvious advantages like driving and IS, but also other ones to succeed with lower salaries than oponents. Players either shoot or pass the ball in the offense. I would think your SG and SF, also the front PF and C might have low passing. One of the most efficient shots for guards are passed driving layups, if not counting tip ins and dunks (which mostly come due to a pass also). Bigs tend to pass the ball to small, pg does also, but bigs passing really helps offense flow. Also SG and SF if both bellow lvl 9-8 really sucks, because they tend to shuck shots.

Quich tip: Low post requires higher overall passing of the team to get good shot distribution, as does all slow offenses. LI is better to run if having lower passes. (i think the passing was issue with 2nd game vs team bernery).

3rd game-> at home and higher enthusiasm. You slightly stronger teams, you loose most of these.
1st game->again very bad shot distribution.

If i would play against you, i would place best outside defender, especially when you inside team on your PG and hope for bad shot distribution, probably other teams did so.

Defensively seems 3-2 quite decent, dont think if you should use 1v1. I dont think this is the issue.
