I think a main solution to keep the cpu out of the paint is to dare them to shoot then close out. Playing tight or smothering pressure will get you burnt.

Funny you say that. The other day when I was playing the Rockets, I didn't set my defensive matchups and just played guys straight-up. I sagged a bit off of Harden to limit the blow-by dribbles from him and when I saw him raise-up to shoot I'd try and contest. The strategy definitely worked until late when he took advantage of that and burned me with some 3-pointers late.

So, I do think there's some merit to that strategy but you have to be willing to adjust as the game goes on.

This works well for me when the contest animations actually trigger. Unfortunately, my players don't always respond to my contest shot commands.
