Fullcourt press too powerful!?!?

I have arguably the top 2 guards in the league.
I notice both my PF and C have 8 turnovers. wt?

From what i have observed is that FCP works really well against RnG, but do make their FG% increase a lot. It usually averages around 30 turnovers, but their FG% will be around the 50%+ if they have good players.

My offensive Flow is worse - that is about it. Other ratings equal or in my favor, especially inside attack with more than 2 full levels better - both playing look inside.

Oh, he had home court advantage - but then he TIEd and I didn't.

I have no understanding for the result.

It's called 18 turnovers.

If you had as few turnovers as your opponent, and scored those opportunities at the percentage you scored the rest of your shots, that's about 12 extra points right there, give or take a couple.


Yes and no.

Obviously the turnover did cost me the match. That is one weakness whereas there are some assets for me in the game as well. Normal against TIE. Far better inside attack.

In other words: 5 out of 6 ratings are in my favor. Taking the remaining 1 out of 6 to justify a loss does not at all convince me.

Example given: his scoring % is .45 whereas mine is .46 -> why?! That is both playing inside attack. His inside attack vs. my inside defense is 6 (m) vs. 5 (m). My inside attack vs. his inside defense is 8 (h) vs. 5 (m).

You lost a rather close match-up where the TO indeed made the difference.
In my opinion you would've more chances to win when playing 2-3 zone, he took 13 offensive rebounds and he was playing look inside.
With an inside focused defense he had a hard time trying to score, less off rebounds and the number of steals you took with your 3-2 was only 2, so you won't miss those by playing another defense.

Thanks for your comments.

You are right, 2-3 would have been a much better choice. I didn't expect inside attack but outside attack, that's why.

What I am still uncomfortable about is that all given explanations do not consider the superiority of my ratings.

Taking the answers given I would have lost as well with an inside attack of 13 instead of 8. That cannot be it.

When you look at the player stats, your center and PF scored at a very decent percentage while the other players missed a lot more.
--> Your inside attack stats are based a lot upon the stats of PF/C so although they did their job, the other players failed to score equally.
I assume your score percentages would be higher if your other players had also more inside scoring.

You are again right.

Being originally a ht-player I tend to give a lot to ratings. I like the BB-idea of certain influences beyond ratings, because that leaves vast varieties of deepening the game-understanding and opportunities to improve.

BB would benefit if some of the "hidden" aspects would become more clear to more managers.
