And that's why it's called "Take It Easy" :)

i think when you tie

you put your team in a position they wont be aggressive enough

but as the game goes they still play games, they jump shoot etc but doesnt have that tenacity or goal of really wanting the game.

the way i see it

if you tie is just like

skill level vs skill level + effort :D

I've played RNG 3 times this season:

TIE: 12-39 from three
Normal: 13-41
Normal: 14-37

I'm not seeing a significant decrease, albeit with a small sample size.

yes, but two times you played against a man 2 man defense, and one against a 2-3 zone, not exactly the right way to defende against a R&G...so you can't obviously have seen a decrease in your percentages!!
maybe if you R&G and TiE against a 3-2 or 1-3-1 zone you will see a decrease in your 3pt's %...don't you think??!!

if you're facing a 3-2 zone or a 1-3-1 zone, your 3pt% is meant to go down. That's the whole point of the defensive tactic.

For sure, but if you TiE with a R&G offensive tactic you also can have good % against a man2man, that's what I want to say.

He played against wrong defensive tactic, so even if he TiE he had good %.

not when he got good defenders ;) I got an team in my leagues who have pretty good outside defence, and i know he will play 2-3 Zone against me(i could play both), but i play look inside against it because it is more promising.

Have you never noticed the effect on rebounds??

Not really. Being an outside team, my interior defense and rebound is usually weaker than that of my opponents so I usually play 2-3. This probably biases my rebounding.

Some of the shooting percentages of my star players go completely out of whack, and not only from 3. Their shooting skills and ranges are good with respect to the average outside defenses I face, so I don't understand why all of a sudden they decide to jack up 3s or shoot hook shots from 20 feet out.

To me, this makes no sense. TIE has nothing to do with shooting percentages, it even might be the opposite: relaxed players would probably shoot better! I would have liked to see problems with rebounding (especially offensive), turnovers, opponent shooting percentage. But my shooting percentage? No way.

i think i view tie as a way players not very much wanting to play.

though it lacks aggressiveness still they play, now i think it affects the overall behavior of your players. if they arent eager to really want to put more points tendency is they will just shoot more outside than driving in the lane and has tendency to get foulf or even injured.

your strategy of 2-3 is correct and i wont argue, but sometimes have faith in your big man! try to look at your opponents strenghts, at times i would set a defense of 3-2 even though surely he will play an inside oriented attack.

my intuition or strategy was to hold his guards, look at the stat sheet of his team. even if they play inside and you see the pg or sg is the second and third leading scorer and for example and his pf is the leading but his center or backup big men happens to fall to the 6to 8 place in points per game im going to gamble on shutting down his support and even his big man dominates the game by law of average he will miss shots , yes he will rebound but you have to worry only is the center gets a good game and probably .. . . backup would just play a few minutes because their starters needs to work a lot on this game.
