I have cup match against a team who has 7 c or pf and one pg so he plays LI all matches. I got better big men's but I think I should play outside tactic like motion because I think his big men's got poor outside defenses. What about defense ? I think my inside player's can defend his big men's and of course my small players can easily defend him on the outside but is 2-3 successful against a LI team ?

If your big men can defend against his I would go M2M. 2-3 will open up too much space for mid-range and long jumpers, and even poor jumpshooters will take advantage of that.

Run M2M.

If you run 2-3 it will allows his offense to set up whatever type shots they want since you won't be putting any pressure on his passers. Under M2M you will take better advantage of his awful offensive flow, forcing turnovers and choking his passing so he can't get the ball inside where he wants it.

I haven't looked at the rosters, only each of your last Cup games, but I think you should do quite well running motion against this specific opponent, as long as you can run a lineup of similar quality to your last Cup game. If, for example, you had only one decent outside shooter available and needed to play several untalented players for game shape reasons, maybe you'd want to go with a patient instead, but if you can field a lineup of the caliber of your last Cup match motion would be the way to go.

Incidentally, don't even consider a 2-3 in this scenario unless you have a very specific set of players built for it, and even then for this game I wouldn't. If anything, a 3-2 is a better choice because it would put more pressure on the "guards" of your opponent and generate more turnovers and make it harder for them to get the ball inside. But M2M is certainly good as well.

We had a really huge discussion over this earlier. In the end I ran 2-3 and did very well. But here is the link to that discussion:

Thanks for interest. So if we simplify what you said it basically means Offense : Motion, Defense : M2M and try to play similar to your last cup game. Did I understand correct ? Also just a reminder my last cup game was against a very weak team so I mean can we use it as a evidence ?

Yes. Your lineup from the last Cup match would be enough to win this game with the motion and m2m tactic .

2-3 is better for lower legue,m2m for higher legue
Basic instructiom:
Players about 5k-15k dont have such a high skills...passing,open shots are not so dangerous like on team with better players because of lower skill level.
Your team also don`t need SF (OI,SG) with high ID becues opponent also dont have high IS
