2-3 is rarely used in real life, in the NBA could help against Memphis (with Randolph on court) but not the 48 minutes, for example.

Now, 2-3 has to increase rebounding, and when I used it it had, but the outside scoring was so easy for the other team that I lost even with a huge advantage in rebs. 10 or 15 more and loosing!

Even though I use it rarely, I like it as an option.

but in real life also few team play in such limiting offensiv schemes like here, and 2-3 isn't so unpopular for short stretches in the game not only against memphis. Dallas used this zone quite often in the last PO for example, Syracuse is a good example on college level for it since they play it quite succesful as their main defence.

hehe..i didnt mean my team playin the zone..but checkin my games playin against a 23 u will see that my ex center and 300k monster fanesi didnt get that much the ball as he would get it against a man man..but like i said, its only my view..i like the 23 zone..for me that zone has as much advantages like disadvantages like every other zone that BB offers us :-)

you are right about the number of shots taken by the big men, 2-3 Zone decreases the number without touching the efficiency..
but i also remember you telling your shorties don't have much driving..
your main plan is always finding the big men i guess, that's why 2-3 Zone might be more successful against you comparing another Look Inside team with similar strength..
driving layups are very frequent in inside offense and most people use high DR guards to take the advantage..
this advantage is maximized against 2-3 Zone..

actually it's pointless to discuss the tactics as the developers has already jumped off of the ship but it's always a joy to criticize 2-3 Zone and Shot Blocking.. :)



thats right..my team had driving around 13 and passing PG 14,SG 11..but my guards have Inside Shot and Rebound..not the world but the cap to other BB world class guards is huge enough to have a decent shot percentage without JS/Range and high Driving :-))))

short stretches


This is the key. m2m, even 3-2 may work the hole game. but 2-3 I've only seen it work when I play basket with friends, who are no Steve Kerr from the three point line and we always get the edge on rebs. ;)

well somehow I'm prety sure he would have lost the game without that zone... it's easy to say that would have won because of HCA, but he had much lower enthusiasm and worse GS... it should some how flatten the difference..


still doesn't works wasn't ment like the one game will change the thing about zones work or not... I'm still saying there might be some under water cliff about that 2-3 zone. there migh be a need of certain skills to play zone, that most Big mens in bb does not... without them it's maybe more about luck...

don't know if you play hattrick, but there are some analogic things about game engine and users thought's about it...

a good 2-3 could also protect the perimeter good enough, i believe syracuse is a pretty good example how it could be, that is maybe rare and extrem but ain't that all strategies here? I mean, motion offense looks for a layup after cut first(if i remember right) and even when it end up in many long distance shot it is far more balanced ... And in my eyes, this should coun't for all tactics here(guards punishing help D in the corner with inside tactics). But it is also good, since it makes strategy possible, or at least better visible here ;)

maybe another example of a working 2-3:
