I think your team is just good. We make good builds; it's like you always saw overalls don't matter if you assemble a good team.

That being said, you could also lose your next 10 games :D

Sorry Lebron, Curry is much better.

It either needs to be one thing or the other. It can't be we assemble a good team that fits right and they play well and win AND the sim has some weird primacy bull shit here that decides wins and losses.

That being said, we can't get what we want. But it would be interesting to know if there is something like primacy here.

No, there is absolutely not any hidden variables for any of the players.

Pace and usage are calculated based on the individual ratings.

However, there are bonuses for having certain types of players on the floor together, having multiple rebounders, or 3 point shooters, or ball handlers will improve your team, which makes sense.

These rankings are really weird when I look at them. Miami is ranked 17th in performance but is 24-14 and coming off a huge winning streak...

so... take this all with a grain of salt lol.

github.com/dumbmatter/basketball-gm/tree/master/js/core/gameSim.js is the game simulation code, and it's called only by github.com/dumbmatter/basketball-gm/tree/master/js/core/game.js

As you'll see, there's nothing too weird going on. There is some "chemistry" related to things like.. your offense will be clogged if you don't have any shooters, your defense is better if you have a shot blocker but you don't need 5 shot blockers, etc.
