I have personally found that I have more success in playing to my strengths instead of trying to play to the opponents weakness. For example I will play motion even if the opponent normally plays a 3-2. I'm a better scoring team from the outside and if they normally play 3-2 it means they have weaker outside defenders than inside.

Defence is a little different. If they play motion and your outside men aren't as good as theirs then play a 3-2, but if you think your outside men outclass his then just play man to man, this way you won't give away as many offensive rebounds when you actually do make him miss a shot, nothing more frustrating that him missing lots of shots but you can't take advantage on the scoreboard because you keep giving him a 2nd shot.

I have similar problem. But in PO I will play agains,t a team that will go LI and 3-2 defence. And I wonder which tactic should I use against them motion or rng? But the biggest problem is the defence cause they are whey better rebounding team, and if I will play 3:2 they will destroy me on the boards. If playing 2-3 against them 3-2 can make the rebs even. But 2-3 leaves 3 guy on the outside pretty much space to score. What would You do?

against li the 2-3 zone is working, against 3-2 i would play li when both teams "are" balanced if he just play it to cover weaknesses or you are lot better in attacking outside you could play an outside attack.

And what tactic is better when I have 3 good shooters and 2 defending centers under basket (one have got is 12 but he doesnt shoot a lot). Should I play RnG or Motion? If U can U can take a look at my opponent in my league - Grim Reapers

personally what works best with your team, is often a thing of testing because they are a lot of factors who play a role there(and i don't get them all^^).

Motion normally includes the SF better, but you should also need a bit more passing then run and gun, but the difference isn't huge.

Includes actually every player with good JS. Indeed guards will take the majority of the scoring load, but if your opponent has big men with poor OD, then you can get scoring from the big men positions too.
