Not to dissagree but its like playing a entirely different team when you have a second defense to go. Its like bench scoring or a 6th man on the offensive end.

Teams play m2m the same way, they tweek it like they do the zone sagging off some players putting a extra rebouner in the paint, playing other shooters tight because they can't dribble. And they also switch to that aggressive physical m2m defense on the perimeter where they can ride our body while we drive the lane; and jump while still rubing up against us in midflight if we haven't seperate from them by the time we reach the mid-post. Its like having 2 different defenses, and playing 2 different teams. That's how Miami beat us, and thats why many top 16 teams have a advantage because they can just turn the pressure up and negate grinding baksetball, we never will be able to without changing something, but Cuse's zone is usually above average so it balences out. A good cuse zone is the equivilent of playing that extra aggressive m2m defense, but will still grind out for long periods. It usually brings the luxary to press for 5-7 minutes a game as well.
