I don't want to sound pushy but I'd really like it if someone can please give me some input on what happened in these two ABBL games. It feels like I'm getting ignored here! Please take me seriously as a BB user!


The first one is just one of those games - the PF going 15-18 seems to be an aberration. On the other hand, there was garbage time for most of the fourth quarter for the road team, so their game ratings are reduced quite a bit from their actual playing strength during the part of the game where it was decided.

Second one isn't much of a surprise - a patient with an NT SG where he's matched up against a player with a third of his salary is a pretty solid mismatch, and the 2-3 helped shut down what appears to be a relatively low-flow (for that level) LI team.

my players were in strong shape, his were in mediocre shape. how is that my players chucked away but his mediocre players did not? from the ratings i would have expect to win...but the engine said no.


Your team only had 30% of their shots as open, which isn't much - though your opponent at 33% open wasn't in much better shape. And your opponent was running an outside offense with a 100k SG (in average GS), while two of the three anchors of your 3-2 are small forwards (in 7 and 8 GS) of much lower salary, indicating that they're not exactly stout outside defenders. Since 6 of his 7 three point shots were scored while one of those two players were defending them (the other over the backup Dordevic), that was definitely a weak spot for you. Combine that with a large number of turnovers (the primary culprit being a PF who has 12 assists vs. 111 turnovers for you since you bought him in season 23), and it's far from shocking that you lost. When neither team can really generate much offense through efficient passing, the one that has individual scorers that can hit contested shots has an advantage, and the R&G choice worked out perfectly for them in that regard.

the match between manoire and dust my broom was wrong in some way. it is clear that there is an error here. although i play a center with solid passing skill instead of another one who is not good at passing at all, i've just recorded 10 assist. moreover, if my point guard who has 15 passing, finishes the match without recording any assist and my shot percentage remains that low, it is obvious that there is a mistake. it deserves to be analysed. if you have a look, i would be happy. i'm really wondering what you will think about it.

thanks.

I think it has a lot to do with free throw shooting and depth. They had good backups and you did not so your starters played more minutes. Do your starters all have good stamina?

Your overall defense was a lot better though and your team took 14 more shots than their team.

They had a ton of turnovers, missed too many free throws, and were on the road.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

ONe thing that does seem odd with your game is you should have better rebounders but he outrebounded you. I am wondering if this came down to a depth issue with your bigs or a stamina issue...still the rating is higher but rate is lower. I can'T say though this doesN'T often happen... RB is a bit random in this game so sometimes its more luck than skill...which can suck, but not 100% so, if you are a better rebounding team usually you will dominate the boards and get a better posession count.


Not a surprise - his opponent played the entire fourth quarter with backups, which lowered the ratings accordinly.
