In Response To: Optimal Strategy against a better opponent (Max Levenstein)

As an economist and NBA fan, this is interesting to me... Any papers you could forward?

In BG, this is known, there is a book that looks into this by Trice and Jacobs, (I'll look up the exact name after dinner) and some of the posts here also consider this factor, especially in cube decisions. There are also METs that take skill differences into account.
