interesting boxscore, however
1- you missed a lot of 3-ptrs, he did quite well there - maybe that has to do more with shooting skills (+effort) than with opponent defense?
2- he fouled more and you did badly on the free throws
just my 2c
1- I did miss more shots and 3pointers as well, that is why i lost. But i did have worse shooting percentage all over the floor (26/53 49% compared to 32/54 59% from within the arc). Are you saying that defence dont affect the shooting %? I dont think that is your point, but that is how I interpret your message.
2- But if I had made all missed FT (+8 points) I would still have been far from winning. If we reduce the number of freethrows for extra chances (OR + TO) I end up with 13 of 15 and he 11 of 13. So missing those FT aint good but its not the game either.
