First you got killed on the boards, giving your opp 10 more chances to score. Giving up boards while running and up tempo offense is not a good idea. Also, you might have had a nice advantage for scoring outside, but again an increased pace offense prob had your players forcing shots rather than taking time to pick out the best opportunities.

Based on the matchup ratings, you'd have been better off doing a slower paced balanced or even inside focused offense, just about the opposite of what you chose.

Really not all the surprising you lost this one.

But I won all the other games, with exactly the same tactic:) I'm predictable:)

But OK, he had more chances, but if my matchup ratings are better by 20 pts on EVERY position, I think maus just got lucky... Or that ratings aren't that important...

I disagree, the ratings are very helpful in seeing what happened in this match.

He played base offense, so despite your team mostly shutting them down outside they took advantage of your weak inside scoring, shooting over 50% inside the 3pt arc.

Despite your advantage shooting outside, your team didnt shoot that well prob becuase they rushed their shots due to the offense you chose.

Odds were with you, but that happens in sports sometimes. In this match, you prob could have made some different choices that would have given you even better odds.

Well, I was resting my starting center for the cup game, that's probably why they dominated inside... Usually, I have about 70 rebounds per game, so I can play Run and gun and dominate the game... But this is apparently a little bit of random... Well, better now than in Playoffs:)

im just saying, you could have made changes that would have increased your odds of winning that game.

though you might have been odds on based on the ratings, it was more of being a slight favorite rather than heavy favorite. there's going to plenty of upsets of slight favorites

well, as I'm not looking for some scorers to buy, it is actually a joke...
