No, I don't think patient is as good a tactic against a superior opponent

We have a team in our league.. It has done a fantastic season playing Patient half of the games.
(31281966)
(31282034)
(31282042) - this game is especially interesting. Our champion very rarely looses at home..

I can add that BC Pisatel has only one player with the salary over 100k. And almost all players are multiskilled, there is even a player with the surname Multyk: (12107804) :D

Following the games of this team I can say that Patien simply destroys 2-3 but could be stopped by 3-2 zone. Example: (32355317)

Full Court Press is another tactic that I will only use in a situation where my team is a lot better. The Patient/FCP can be a devastating strategy if you are the better team- you can really pump up your +/- using those tactics against the right opponent.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

You didn't leave the link to the game, but cool! I have had less than great results playing Patient against teams with equal or better defense to my offense, so it's nice to hear that it can work.

A great example of Patient paying off away against a better team. 50 FGA by my PF (buy really my G) and a lot of them were assisted coming off screens.
Is 50 FGA too much? Not sure. It feels a bit that way, but as long as there is good ball movement (and Patient is not a stagnant offense), I'm happy.



Same story, 48 FGA by my SG.
