A team that has bad efficiency (passing, handling, offensive flow and turn the ball over a lot) should try a fast pace offensive. The longer you hold onto the ball the more change the defense has to pick off a pass or pick your pocket (steal). A fast offensive shoots the ball early which means they pass the ball less and don't hold onto it resulting in less TO and more shoots at the baskets (although the shoots will be rushed a little and results in lower %).

i am not a pro but isnt it best to play a fast paced offence like r&g or push if your team is good shooters but bad passers and a slower paced one like motion or low post if you are bad shooters but good passers?

Yes and that is what i was trying to say. If your team is bad passing and you run a motion you will turn the ball over because you pass the ball more. I got 21 and 20 TO in two games because my team is bad at passing and handling and i ran a motion.

Oh ok. And also a slow pace offence should be ran by a bad shooting team and good at offensive flow.

Thank you all for your advice. Ended up winning the game (22445834), and that wouldn't certainly have happened if it wasn't for your help.

He ended up using the monster PF after all. This surprised me a bit as I was almost convinced he was taking care of his minutes. Luckily for me, the "crunch time" against his TIE certainly ruined it for him. Had he set a normal enthusiasm, I think he would have made it.
The funniest thing about this was both our failed tactics: I used Look Inside and he defended with 3-2, he used Motion and I chose a 2-3...

To sum this thread up: more than advice on how to deal with this match, you guys thought me some approaches to matches I never thought about: checking the opponent's season stats for important data like: Do his players have lots of turnovers? Does his team rarely shoot for 3? And so on: knowledge I'll use in the future.

Best regards, and good luck with your season!

Ahh, you're right, he didn't! For some reason I thought it was A. Capelo, instead of E. Antelo, both PFs, lol.

Well, in that case, I'm feeling even more thankful for the "you have a shot" messages, cheers!

I've been reading your thread since yesterday, and I must say: congratulations. I really don't care about the cup, I just wanted to, like you said, take care of my team's minutes. At least you (and everyone else that reads this thread) a bit (or a lot) more about tactics.

but in reallity, I never intended to go "all out". But it was kinda of funny that you did, oh well, if you really want, and need, the money from the cup, good luck. I don't, I just need to train train train.

ps: Antelo has probably never played a cup match since 2 seasons ago (or more). For me, the cup was never a real issue, and since 2, probably 3, seasons ago, I just used the cup matches like they're friendlies. I got my minutes, you got your victory. Win win situation.
