L.A. Clippers Slice

Craig LeVasseur 04/16/2015

Another version of the basic Slice set. The first look is still a post up, but this set has the added variation of a pin down for the 2 if no post up opportunity is available. See More

This play comes straight from the Mike D’Antoni playbook, and sets up exactly like the basic Slice action that Doc Rivers used in Boston. While the option is there to bring any great post up player to the block, as D’Antoni often did with Carmelo Anthony in New York, this is really just a Spread High P/R in disguise. This is a money play for Chris Paul. See More

Boston Celtics Slice 5

Craig LeVasseur 04/16/2015

The Slice formation allows the option to alter your alignment and bring any player off of the flex screen to a post up. In this Celtics set play for a KG post up, the play can start out of a normal Slice alignment, or a corner-filled “Weak” alignment. See More

Boston Celtics Slice Hold

Craig LeVasseur 04/16/2015

If you are lucky enough to have a great player like Paul Pierce on your roster, sometimes no tricks are necessary. A simple Iso play out of the Slice formation is all that you need. See More

Boston Celtics Slice Twist

Craig LeVasseur 04/16/2015

This is also a Celtics counter to Slice Roll. This time, instead of the 4 receiving a staggered rip screen, the 2 receives a stagger screen for a catch and shoot opportunity. See More

Boston Celtics Slice 4

Craig LeVasseur 04/16/2015

This is a counter to the Boston Celtics Slice Roll for teams that deny the reversal pass to 3. Instead of swinging the ball to Pierce, the 4 man, likely KG, goes back into a DHO with 1, and then receives a staggered rip screen from 5 and 2. See More

Boston Celtics Slice Roll

Craig LeVasseur 04/16/2015

This Slice option for the Celtics was a quick hitter that could be run at any time in early offense and didn’t need to be a called set. It is a quick reversal to the 3, into a Side P/R. With Pierce at the 3, there are a number of threats here that are difficult to guard. When KG is at the 4, the Pick and Pop is difficult to guard. If x2 pulls in to defend against the duck-in from 5, Ray Allen is sitting in the corner waiting to strike. See More

Boston Celtics Slice Reverse

Craig LeVasseur 04/16/2015

This is a great counter to Slice Double with KG at the 5. The setup is the same, but instead of Allen coming off of the stagger, he sets a cross screen for KG and then receives a pin down from 4. See More

Boston Celtics Slice Double

Craig LeVasseur 04/16/2015

With Ray Allen at the 2, new Slice options are introduced to provide him with catch and shoot opportunities. In Slice Double, the initial action is the same, but it is a setup to get Allen’s defender on the high side in the post, at which time he reverses back off a stagger screen from 4 and 5 with his defender trailing.

Boston Celtics Slice 1

Craig LeVasseur 04/16/2015

Rajon Rondo’s size often led to mismatches, and this Slice variation used by the Celtics allowed him to call his own number and get a good post up opportunity on the block. The setup looks exactly like regular Slice, but the 2 man rejects the flex screen, allowing Rondo to slip around the 5 and seal his defender. See More

Boston Celtics Slice

Craig LeVasseur 04/16/2015

This is the basic Slice set, and it is a simple way to bring your 2 or 3 to the block for a post up to exploit a mismatch. Paul Pierce was the primary option in the post out of Slice for the Celtics. See More
