If you have good perimeter defence I would even suggest playing a 3-2 zone. This will make it hard for the guards to score, and will make it hard for the guards to pass the ball to your big men. And even if they do pass the ball to their big men then your big men should still be able to defend them fairly well.

Look Inside's pace doesn't matter much. In this tactic your guards will try and pass to your big men and let them take the shot. But will still take a few jump shots themselves. A 3-2 zone will defend the guards trying to take jumpshots and 3 pointers as well as block the pass that they make to the big men which means that the big men won't get the ball as much and hence won't score as much.

Does that make sense?

makes perfect sense its just scary to try because i am currently tied for first place (I'm ahead on PD), and i don't want to accidently drop any games.

3-2 isn't bad against inside tactics but in my eyes not the way to go ;) For me man to man and the 3-2 Zones are tactic where you can make big mistakes, but even if this is the target i would choose the more inside orientated mtm. 2-3 Zone isn't bad when your opponent comes inside, but it turns out pretty ugly if he surprise you.

If your opponent decides to play an outside tactic then playing a 2-3 zone can really hurt your team. The same can't be said if you play a 3-2 zone (against an outside team) and your opponent surprises you by going inside, seeing a 3-2 zone can still be effective aginst an inside offense.

well i dont have to worry about the team im playing going outside because even with a 2-3 zone he wouldnt stand a chance, but will a 3-2 zone be more effective than a 2-3 zone since the team im playing has poor guards and i can capitalize on their mistakes

If you thnk they have poor guards I would definitely go with a 3-2 zone.

1. It will make it even harder for their guards to score (especially because they are bad).
2. It will be even harder for their guards to pass to their big men which is their first priority.
3. Even if they play an outside tactic you will be safe.
4. If your big men are good inside defenders and good rebounders then playing a 3-2 zone will have all the advantages above as well as defending their big men well and rebounding well.
