Thanks a lot for the analysis.
I guess i expected a result more like this (17709716) or this (15480518) (the last 2 times we played). especially since they just sold their $124k per week center (which is more than my entire roster combined). Flawed thinking on my part...
Oh & real nice point 7ton. (don't want to triple post, lol)
If you are willing to take something like an advice, I would tell you to stop using Team Ratings as the main focus when understanding a game. Personally, matchups ratings are the way to go when used with tactics selection, some knowledge of your players and, partially, team ratings.
I can only give you some hints of your game since I can only see the resume and use the information you provide us (for example, like you are sure that you had more enthusiasm). But you can have all the key pieces to understand it.
I really do not know how matchups are calculated but I understand they are the amount of points your player would have score if has taken 100 shots. So, it is a theoric value. BB-Forrest once said it was an expected value. That being said, and with that info you can know where were your theoric best opportunities but also your theoric weaknesses.
Using the right tactics you can better explote those opportunities(also Offensive flow is key for this) and the right defense will help you cover(sometimes just partially) those weaknesses, and this time not on theoric grounds but in real (performance) grounds. This kind of info is not revealed by Team Ratings.
Hope those thoughts could help a little more to understand your others two games also (wich in fact, were entirely consistent with the previous analysis. Just think that *most* of the action ocurred away from his 100k C).
