First, even though mediocre might be different color than inept, but it's still ~1 level difference. Not to mention that team ratings are not necessarily always the be all end all of BB games.

Second, the home team plays with more effort. This compensates what's probably slightly weaker player skills (as team ratings suggest).

Third, home-court advantage incorporated in the ratings, so there is nothing beyond what you see. So does enthusiasm.

edited to fix the fact that I am an idiot

Just because you watched it means nothing. You could watch it 1 million times, but you are watching only 1 random occurrence. Sure they won handily, but I am suggesting it is a statistically unfortunate event. You had the upper hand, yet they still won.

Imagine it this way: Out of 100 Games

50 Games you win by 20+
25 games you win by 10+
15 games you win by 1+
6 games they win by 1+
3 games they win by 10+
1 game they win by 20+

It is a bell curve with the advantage heavily on your side. Just because the game you watched happened to fall in the 1 possible chance out of 100, doesn't mean the new engine is rigged.

I have played 2 straight games in the new engine on TIE, both away, and won them easily.

Disclaimer: This is just an idea, I am not saying this is definitely the reason you lost.

Q: Hear about the Aggie who lost $50 on the football game?
A: He lost $25 on the game and $25 on the instant replay!

(I couldn't resist a little Aggie joke here...)

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!

5 more 3 pt made
4 more ft made

i guess the rating system is differen't than the scoring system

ie
3pt and long 2pt is rated the same in rating but there is 1pt scoring diff
a foul +1 is rated the same as a basket made
