If it's not relevant to the topic, you do need to create a new thread.

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

errrr... this could be tricky as i dont have a lineup full of ball handlers. i have one superb point guard and a serviceable back up. i have a 3 really strong small forwards with decent defense outside and in. i think my shooting guards are alright but not exactly what i need. so ill start the two points and hope that the 3 spot doesnt hurt too much. my interior should be solid with the 2-3 like you say. thanks a lot guys, wish me luck...

also, you should try to play TIE against weakest opponents and to crunch against him...if you are sure in victory with TIE against weaker opponents.


That'll be hard to do if all three remaining games are must-win.



indeed, therefor I'd opt for playing 'normal' against the 2 weakest and CT against the strongest team.
If you can't beat the weaker with normal, you wouldn't be able to get the job done anyway since playing CT three times will almost certainly loose you a game as well...

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

In response to the original question posted, I have some anecdotal information. I played Slovenia in a scrimmage last night. He used Push the Ball and I, thinking he might, used 3-2 zone. He won the game 105-80. Granted, my NT is Thailand and we are very weak, with only 8 active teams from which to draw, but still losing by 25 suggests that 3-2 zone against Push the Ball might not always (or ever) be the way to go.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

Playing 3-2 Zone against Slovenija's Push The Ball didn't really make a difference.

He outrebounded you by a large margin and passed the ball very well.

They also defended the inside better than you.

just a follow up here, i won the game. (1004301) i started both my pg's and both my bigs had a great game. i went with the plan of slowing his high paced game down to a speed i play at, and it seemed to work(used 3-2 and low post.) I kept the turnovers to less than 20, and i think that is really what did it for me.
