To cut long story short, there's a lot of factors that deny the "ID doesn't work" thesis and it's your task to proof, that they doesn't matter.

Nothing beats ID!

(92167554) I knew I won the game, but I am quite disappointed about the performance of my SG and SF in the starting lineup.

By using Motion strategy, I expected much more efforts from them. However, they scored 9 points in total. Can someone explain this to me, please?

I can't say for sure, but part of the reason could be that your bigs might need more HA/PA to get them the ball. In Motion, the PF and C should have enough of both skills, as they'll handle the ball more.

Another game where LI doesn't look that strong. In overall ratings our team had to win the game without any doubt, no GDP, no effort difference and "weaker" opponent..But what surprised my were the stats of our starting SG and sub PG. They combined for 6-30 FG and 1-10 3PT (that made 3pt was the last shot of the game that didnt have any importance). I know we attacked inside but especially sub PG that is so damn good with his pg skills and has ton of range and everything thats needed to score efficiently went so cold against 35K PG that didnt even took a break in the game and was on the court for 48 mins. The only difference was game shape but its even funny to mention since the opponents 8 GS translated into 300K dmi while our PG had around 2milion dmi in 7 game shape. Also, that same PG went 11-14FG and 4-4 on 3pts while he played 48 mins and his rating was 13.5 compared to our PGs that had 16 and 19 ratings respectively. So weird stats, ratings and result. I know they attacked from 3pt line and our defense wasnt strong enough to stop them but even though our ID (Prominent - medium) was way stronger than their attack (Respectable - high) they still shot over 50% from 2pt range (34/66 - 51.5%). In comparison our IS (Wondrous-medium) outmatched their ID soundly (Proficient-high) but still shot under 50% even excluding 3pts. (45/91 - 49.45%). Also take into account the fact that our C (more than 5million DMI) and SF (more than 3mil. DMI) both were in 9 Game Shape. I have no clue how could we end up losing and shooting this badly when flow was better than theirs and we also crushed the boards out rebounding them +17 on offensive glass and +22 overall. Very strange numbers in this game.

With quite good JS of Nigeria, quite bad OD of Ghana, and not-as-big advantage of Ghana in BB-stats, this cannot be considered an upset. Nigeria won 3 of 5 offensive ratings (aka pts per 100 shots), and their disadvantage in 2 lost ratings was quite small.

You had 2 guys foul out.
