Therefore the Knicks may have to adjust their pressure settings to tight downlow, and assign a double team to the man killing them downlow. I think the problem many are having is that they refuse to make any adjustments and simply want to play man defense the entire game- guess what? You can't do this and make it work with smaller teams. If you're the Celtics, sure, but if you are the Hawks, you must adjust. Run zones, run traps, play tight coverage, double team in the paint. Adjustments are CRITICAL to stopping the inside game. Big men will get their points because you can't stop them everytime (realistic), but if you mess around with your adjustments you will be owning scrubs downlow.

True statement right here. If you go and look at your player ratings you'll see that they have help defense ratings and double team effectiveness rating. So if your playing a team such as the Celtics if you change the pressure on rondo to loose and the cpu is guarding him, you'll see sagging off him anticipating helping. But you have to be careful which players you do this to cause if you do it to say a Ray Allen in he's in the corner and your playing loose off him. They can just throw a skip pass across court and it's money. Also certain players like Rondo make be hot at the time so you have to adjust accordingly.
