If I am slightly weaker than my opponent on almost every point, but have much better offensive flow and a SF that will easilly win the matchup, what offensive tactic can I best use to exploit these two points?
Both me and my opponed are quit balanced.

What are you team's strengths? Do you have better inside or outside shooting/defense?
I might play Push the Ball or Base without knowing about your team - This will ensure that your team gets the ball to the player with the "best" look at the hoop.
But it really depends on your players. If you have higher inside scoring then maybe play look inside.

Your offense should be set up around your strengths (and sometimes your opponents weaknesses)
Your defense should be set up around your opponents strengths (or if you are weak in those areas then man to man)

My opinion at least
Others might have different tactics that work for them.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your anwser. I have been thinking about push the ball for the same reasons.

My team doesn't really have an offensive strength or weakness, I can get to level 7 in outside attack and 6 inside. My opponed has an outside defense that is slightly better than inside, both just above my attack levels. So I would really like to utilze my better offensive flow, level 6 vs. level 3.
I know it is more about matchups but there it's the same story, my opponenet is stronger, but I have better seconderies and a winning SF.

Hehe, I will try that.
But in your opinion, a high pace game is the best way to utilize your flow advantage?

To best utilize your own offensive flow, you’ll generally want to go with a slower tactic. Slower tactics will pass up some decent looks in favor of finding better ones, which high offensive flow helps you to do. However, this can be bad against a team with good defense as you’ll wait until the end of the shot clock and end up taking a bad shot. As for taking advantage of your opponent’s offensive flow, a full court press is very effective, but good outside D and stamina are important for making the most of it. FCP will decrease your rebounding, but with the increase in steals it can actually help you get more possessions than you would have before, particularly if you opponent had a rebounding advantage to start with. The other downside to FCP is that your defense is weakened, so it may or may not be a wise tactic to use. In the right situation it can be very powerful though.

If your opponent is better than you, you should use a slower tactic not PTP. I would use either Patient or Base as a start.
