I have never been in the pink in the ABBL before (and probably never again either) and so I will ask in the glory while I can.

Can't compare to you and your 500 games vs CROCKERS but that is our 12th match and I am holding serve 7-5 right now!

Can't afford to drop home games early on!

Can I nominate Bell Park's win over Baxter as an early candidate for robbery of the season?

I second that :( Makes zero sense how I could possibly lose that one. Lets break it down :
* I had HCA
* Both played at the same effort level
* He had 1 starter foul out
* Another injured (I think early in the 2nd half)
* Rosters are fairly comparable

As Pauline so pointedly puts it .... "Please Explaaaaaaaaaaaaain"

(and I wont mention the ratings because I had a higher rebounding rating even though he won the rebounds comfortably)

Looked pretty good from my point of view ;)

I was possibly a little lucky or it was just a case of pure awesomeness!

This is why I won... (i think)

* In individual ratings I won most positions. (I rate these ratings a lot higher than the team ratings that are only a guide)

* My Team ratings (that I dont rate too highly) are down a little due to my issue at SF

* But our offence didn't rely on the SF so it didn't hurt my offence or defence too much

* Rebounds since they changed the formula come down to individual match ups as to who get the rebound, so: If I had better rebounders at C, and PF but my SF (due to injury) was rubbish I would still gather a lot of the rebounds at PF and C but my team ratings would look a lot worse due to the SF not helping much for the team.

I might be wrong but I dont think it was as big a surprise as it might seem at first glance

I generally think the points per 100 ratings are the best guide, and in those you got thoroughly smashed

That said, that was probably reflected in the game (Baxter shot better), it was just the rebounding and the large amount of FTs that got you over the line. The rebounding looks a bit odd, given you were behind in the rating, but you are right, it might be a matchup thing.

I'd still maintain you were pretty lucky though

You can maintain it all you want but I won :P

I think this game is a combo of individual match ups vs team dynamics. I think I won the individual match ups in key areas like rebounds which helped get the win. My flow was better but I got beaten in total team IO and D.

I think the team ratings are fun but I would be pretty disappointed if that was the only thing determining if you win or not.

Anyway, one good win down, a few more to go. :)
