If my whining about tactics doesn't pursuade anyone to review the match I've mentioned above, perhaps I can tempt you with... a goal tending call in the dying seconds leading to not one, but two periods of overtime and an eventual outcome settled with a final six second possession with the sides just one point apart... amazing match, even if I didn't get the tactics right!

Just a quick review of your stats show a couple things to me.

You took 15 more shots than your opponent and made 1 less. The quantity of shots helped you. (fast paced motion offense)

You converted only 7 of 41 3pt shots, but those were the difference in the game as you opponent only converted 3 of their 3pt attempts. (FT's made were 12-11 in his favor).

Those 4 extra 3pt buckets gave you just enough of a cushion to win by the 1 point margin you did win by. *applause*

I think, in theory, outside shooting is always going to be less dependable, percentage-wise, than inside shooting, just from the fact of increasing the range of the shots attempted. But it can have just enough of a boost from 3's to put you over the top.

I have a follow up question. If I anticipate my opponent playing 2-3 zone and stacking the lane, which is the better strategy to "shoot over them?" I want to take some 3s and some jumpers but still have a down low offense because that is my strength. Will the comp. automatically adjust the low post/look inside offense to account for the increased defense and shoot more from outside or should I try to adjust my strategy to motion/princeton/run and gun?
