The rebounding skills of that teams are much more higher than yours,that fact that you have lower ratings at home with M"M against a 3-2 means that you have to work on this
With 3-2 defence,often happens that the players switch on defensive side,so your PG(That however i dont believe has very high shooting skills),so sometimes a stronger defender goes on your Pg,and other times Zanzottera(that could be a defensive specialist with no shot)goes on another player
Whydo you put Serjnak at SF?

In the semifinals Budanje was stronger than his adversary(better offence and better defence)

i can't see the problem here..
you are playing 2-3 Zone against Look Inside and still expecting a good defense..?

Shitty free throws,and the bad idea of using 2-3 lead to the defeat...however he was very unlucky in this game because Cobiat's guards shoots too well for their skills and their game shape,also against a 2-3 defence...

If the game is close at the end, the guards will always try for 3s or quick jumpshots. The team that plays 2-3 almost always loses such close games.

Yeah... ok BUT my every single mr was far superior.... that must mean smth, and MRs do take in account tactics and stuff and still i made twelve shoot more and still missed more than he did and that should not happen.

Well it's still harder to hit a three against 3-2 defense than an inside jumper against 2-3 defense, don't you agree? Despite your 2-3 defense that should boost your rebounding, your opponent had 7 more rebounds than you. Thanks to 2-3 defense, his outside players had no pressure on them and had a lot of space for assist. His two big men had combined FG 20-34, despite your 2-3 defense.

In light of all these facts, are you still wondering why did you lose?

Next game, play M2M defense and put your best inside defender on PF.

Well i can tell you a few things about Budanje's team that might make you understand (he's my brother so i know some inside information).

Firstly Budanje's big men shouldn't be underestimated. Ravbar (the C) was trained this whole season and is now capped and the team's best scorer Berdeogas (the PF) is not a mono skilled player but a very versetile one ( 12 in JS, 12 in DR, 11 in HA).

Secondly, you were wondering how could a 7k PG stop motion. Well i think it's because on Vzajemna's team a 12k PG was playing for the whole game; so his PG was not really much better... It might be even worth mentioning that Budanje had a much better first team PG (Čas), who was injured two minutes into the game. If he was not injured, the game would probably go in Budanje's favour by a much bigger margain.

Thirdly, Budanje's manger picked the right defensive tactic for this game. 3 2 zone stops motion much better than M2M stops push the ball (which Budanje was playing).

I think this made the diference. Any other opinions? Now that I have given the inside scoop someone might be able to explain this better.

I can't really explain this. All the game was a total mess. In every single moment of the game, I was either +10, or -10, the transition was really fast (I lost OT due to his 10:0 run in the first 2 minutes for instance)
Now, my GS is better, my bench is better, I played at home, we both had same level of enthusiasm (around 10) and played important.
Don't look at my big guys salaries, look at their DMI.
And my ratings were REALLY better.
The whole season gone for, what I believe, a very, very evil random:(
I am trying to think what can I do in the second game, and can't really think of points to improve myself:(

to many fouls and some of your players in foul troubles. maybe you took too many 3s too.
bad luck, just beat him twice at the weekend ;)
