I am slightly puzzled about how to play when the Offensive Flow is the best part of my rival's abilities.

I have several assumptions and I need your experience and feedback on these assumptions:

1. It will be harder for me to steal balls. I should not use Full Court Press as my defensive tactic, since I'll pay the cost (in rebounds), but gain less (since the quality of his passes is high)

2. If his Offensive Flow is high - it will increase effectivity of each of his his attacks. By increasing my pace I'll provide the rival more time and more attacks, and enable him to score more, thus, I should decrease my pace.

3. With high Offensive Flow - I should guard closely. It is easier for 'high Offensive Flow teams' to deal with zone defense, and it would be wiser to guard Man to Man.

Am I right regarding any of these assumptions?

I do agree with assumption 1

Assumption 2 do depend too much on his other str/weak and your teams str/weak.

Assumption 3, i still think matching str/weak is the most importent, so a zone could still be your best choise...

1.- Offensive flow depend on PG and SG, perhaps his SF, PF and C has no pass and handling and you can use Full Court Press to steals. Use your player who has more def ext and rebound.

2.- It depend of your rebounds, if you get more ofensive rebound, you ´ll have more attacks.

3.- If you are not sure where he attack use man to man, or to improve your rebouns 2-3 zone.

I don't know if you mean that it depends on PG and SG only, but I just wanted to clarify this.

From the rules;

Offensive Flow (how well the offense produces assists, avoids turnovers): point guard weighted very heavily, shooting guard weighted medium, small forward weighted medium.

Mainly in PG and SG, but if your rival has a center atrocius in handling don´t contribute to offensive flow and full court press could be a good tactic.
