See my post a few posts back which was meant to adress exactly these kind of statements ("3-2 is better than 2-3 against LI", "2-3 doensn't work").

Summary: It depends on your players and the opponents players.

And still you cant answer the question what players are needed for 2-3. You just got a different opinion with no facts to back it.

Here is what I think. All 10 players (assuming one plays 5 starters and 5 backups) need suffocating or at least high OD. Along with that, forwards and centers need above-average ID and high SB to defend drives and inside shots.

A lot of guys in this thread seem to ignore the facts presented by Nachtmahr. Just go find them, read them and think about them. I'm sure you'll be able to draw the right conclusions then.

I'm not making idiot statements like the ones I just mentioned though. And some of the things I mention are facts, namely "how well a line-up works depends on your players and your opponents player". Or are you doubting that? Do you think a good LI or Run and Gun require exactly the same players?

And you never asked me what players were needed for 2-3 so why do you assume I can't answer? I've played 2-3 zones pretty effectively in the past. They are not a clearcut defense that you just always use when someone wants to attack inside. You need opponents with bad outside shooting and you yourself need to have an SF that can really defend down low there as well (high ID, maybe SB as well but mine is average there) and bigs that have high SB.

But I wrote exactly this in post #220.....so this mostly shows that you don't even bother to read the posts you bitch about.

His numbers were some great work. A bit sad that even in that thread only a few noticed them.

So, to play 2-3 succesfully, you need certain conditions with which you could win with every other kind of defense. Good to know it

If that's what you want to believe, then just keep playing MTM defense without thinking and trying out other things. I'll stick to using the options available to me to win matches.

Absolutely agree , trying to get 2-3 zone to work on buzzerbeater is like trying polish a turd.
