this is what the game manual says. '1-3-1 Zone: Dramatically increased perimeter defense at the expense of interior defense and rebounding.'
seeing as you appear to have a rebounding advantage anyway it shouldnt hamper you too much. by the sounds of it your perimeter defense should limit the amount of 3's, or good look 3's they get.
probably a bit risky in the finals, but maybe next season you can experiment with it a bit.
the question is are you thinking you can win the series or simply extend it to a 3rd game.
if you are thinking about winning the series you have to think about what game 3 will be like. for instance if he normals and you CT game 2 then it is all over with him having the enthusiasm advantage and HCA. but you never know. he might CT and you CT then you should be in the same state come game 3. just have to overcome the HCA which you almost did game 1.
if you are confident he will CT then in my opinion the CT seems the best option and then roll the dice in game 3.
i am also running my other PF as a SF which seems to be alright (but i cant get their rating to a 10 or more!!)
he will always get a lower rating because he lacks the outside ability that a SF needs. but with you playing predominantly inside offensively he will do the job. the only query is if you play 1-3-1 he will be too exposed on the perimeter. even when playing M2M he can be exposed if the opposing SF can play outside. but it could also work that way in his favour inside.
n game 1, i was winning like 16-4 in the 1st qtr, and then my team just stopped? its weird how the game works like that
i suppose it does make it realistic, as teams in RL basketball go on runs in a similar fashion.
