He had hca as well.also since he ran patient the mismatches were really good for him and as a result he got a lot of opportunities
Yes but when you say mismatches, his PG went 16/37 but if you look at the matchup ratings you see that my PG had a higher scoring efficiency. This is what I don't understand: how is it that when my matchup ratings were better in 4 out 5 positions, I get outscored. Is it just bad luck and my players underscored and his overscored or is it something I just don't understand about the ratings.
He CT'd and you TIEd. That doesn't show up in the ratings. I don't think it shows up in the PP100 either, but it definitely does not show up in the ratings.
He did shoot a slightly higher percentage than you, and hit FTs better - even before the late game foul parade. The effort differential can lead to more fouls and those FTs may not be reflected in the PP100 either. Also, you turned the ball over quite a bit more - perhaps more than expected, which again may have been related to effort disparity or bad luck.
I'm not sure if the choice of offense led to lower shooting than normal for you - push the ball is more likely to get a player to shoot it quickly rather than waiting for a better shot to open up later in the possession, and perhaps it also forced more bad passes that became those turnovers.
But the main thing is that you were on the road with -2 effort - it's pretty tough to overcome all of that unless you're just a dominant team and in this case you weren't.
