I also think the ratings don't tell the full story and we shouldn't rely on it. If you look at the stats of my starting 5, you'll see they had a good shooting game. 4 of them made 20+ points and I had a big lead from the start. But, this doesn't really translate into great ratings for this game. Now, I didn't play my usual substitutes, as they already had enough minutes for this week. 3 substitutes had less then $4.000 salary, but they were able to get more than 10 minutes on the court. I think this lowered my overall ratings a lot.
If I compare with my previous game against Union or Vottem, I had better ratings during these games although my normal substitutes started the game and my normal starting 5 were the substitutes or didn't even play at all. But those suckers with salaries below $4.000 didn't play or didn't play that much.
