All right,but my guard has 5 in experience,is he the only stupid but experienced player of the BB world?

I wouldn't call a player with experience 5 particularly experienced.

What kind of player would you call experienced?What is the average level of experience of your players?

No irony in my words,these are serious questions ;D

My understanding for an experienced player is strong+. A player with "mediocre" experience is, well, exactly what the skill name says :)



My (by far) most experienced player is at the same time one of the worst shooters (despite his brilliant skills) on my team - at the moment I think that experience is overrated a lot by many managers.

Individual stats don't exist in a vacuum, they are conditional on the rest of your team and the opposition.

There are multiple scenarios why a brilliant shooter can post poor shooting percentages. Here are some examples:

* He plays a position where the opposition usually stacks its best defense. That would typically be SG for outside players.
* He has poor passing skills, making him shoot more, thereby driving down the percentage, since he may take bad shots instead of passing the ball.
* He is the _only_ good shooter on your team, making opposing defenses collapse on him, thereby decreasing the quality of his shots.
* You're facing some very good defensive teams, and/or choose tactics that that play away from that particular guy's strength.

It could be any, and is likely a combination of multiple of these factors. It should be noted that the way the average player's skills are calibrated these days, outside shooting percentages tend to be low across the board (which is another way to say people tend to train more OD than JR).

The game is complex. Don't underestimate its complexity when drawing conclusions.

You play a 3-2 zone ant therefor your opponent gets an advantage in RB's. That pretty much sums up what happened.

They lost 1 point. Why they shoot 3pts?

ok, that's could be.
but:
- why don't players use 2 remaining fouls in last 20 seconds?
- why didn't they cut feliciello's arms?

- why did I lose 16 offensive rebounds? I had a better evaluation in that skill, even with 3-2 zone.

It's a tactic often used in NBA by some great coaches like Sam Mitchell and Kurt Rambis

1-2. Your guys were actually playing crazy good outside D, so they really didn't need to foul in that situation. You saw how they needed to force up those threes from essentially outside the stadium, right?

3. Stamina. This is only a theory, since I don't actually know your players' stamina ratings, but that could be the reason your inside guys didn't do their jobs, aside from the 3-2 zone.

Basically, the reason you lost was because your inside guys turned into jelly in that last minute. I feel for you, good luck on your next game.

Oh, enthusiasm management might've played a role as well. Once again, though, I don't know how well either of you manage enthusiasm.

Basically,both the teams make stupid decisions in the last minute

M.P. team had two fouls to spend before the bonus,they could easily spend them on adversaries offensive rebounds on missed threes to stop the clock,especially in the last decisive rebound before the shot,with 1 second to go

the adversary team,against an outside defence,1 point behind and with 23 seconds to the end,can't force 3 threes really behind the 3-point-line...why they didn't try before to give the ball inside and shot near the basket?I know that M.P. defence was good,but surely Olimpia's players could find much better shots than the missed threes they take...
