Playing against MM, is it better to use a slower or a faster pace offence, considering that my opponent has similar to mine game ratings?

Opponents expected ratings:
Perimeter Defense - strong (low)
Inside Defense - proficient (low)
Defensive strategy - Man to Man

I will try to push with an outside offence, but Run and Gun or Motion?

Also, my opponent is playing LI, which rating I can probably match with 2-3, but since I have good guards in high form, is it a good idea to play 3-2, following the so called "new school" understanding of the GE?

Thank You!

Well, I expect my OD to be about 3 levels higher than his flow. My SF is definitely outside orientated, so I guess I should go for 3-2, even though this will make my ID about 2,5-3 levels lower than his IS ... ?
My PG, SG and SF have around 12-13 JR, but JS goes about an average of 16 ... so considering this do you think Motion is gonna work better than RnG?

IMO, Motion almost always works better than RNG and personally I would never use 3-2 against LI offense. M2M, even 2-3 is a better choice. But if you're strongest offense is usually an inside based offense, I would completely ignore his defensive ratings and go with that.

No, my stronger offence is definitely any outside one, and as I said my guards are in good form.
My concern is more about my defence. He will play LI, and only 2-3 from my side will match his IS rating, but it will leave me with too low OD and RB (however, his OS rating will be about as low as my OD).

Like Manon said, if your players have good OD/ID, along with some SB, you might be able to run a 2-3. But 9 times out of 10, I would just use M2M.

His bigs really did a number on you inside, but I like that prolific rating you put up for Outside Scoring.
