You make it sound as if a bad team beat yours. Your team is very good but so is his team. Let me analyze your two regular season games against him: the first matchup between you two was during the first week of the season so you can't really look too much into that. Your second matchup was an 11 point win for you, but it was a very competitive game. The game was a 2 point lead for you (90-88) with 1:32 to go in the 4th and it was only a larger deficit due to free throw fouling at e end of the game. It was by no means you "serving his ass over the platter". Your team does not suck. His team just had a better night.

I'll try to explain why you lost. First, he had 3 players score 20+ pts, while you only had 1. He also made 4 more threes, but he took almost twice as many as you. Secondly, he committed 7 fewer fouls and made 10 more FTs.

One more thing might be that his 2-3 zone stopped your bigs. I don't know if it was his OD, ID/SB, or both. For the most part, you had better GS.

I don't know besides what I've just typed. Sorry for your loss, man, and I know I've had stuff like this happen to me in the playoffs.

Even with team rating in your favor on rebounding, it seems you were quite lacking in that area. But the biggest problem was your FT %age. You would have put a bit more of those, instead of a dreadful 18/36 and you would have won that game.

well, I don't care about the lost game, to be honest. Just wanted to show an example where ratings doesn't mean anything in BB :)
