The Pacers ran this set midway through the 4th quarter in their game 5 loss to the Knicks. Hibbert sets a great screen to free West up for the open 17 ft. jump shot. If you have a big who can knock that shot down this is a good set. See More

Earlier today I posted an action from the New York Knicks that involved a horns staggered pick & roll. Later in this game they ran this similar play but Carmelo decided to keep the ball and use the pick & roll himself. See More

The New York Knicks ran this play during their playoff loss versus the Indiana Pacers Saturday night in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals. There are severals aspects I love about this play. 1. I love running staggered pick & rolls (especially at lower levels) because most coaches do not teach their players how to guard. **I teach the first big to level the screen to prevent the slip and the second big to be the hedger/trapper/helper. 2. By using Carmelo in the first pick, the defense did not want to detach itself for too long and giveaway a look from the Knicks' best player. 3. The Knicks spaced two shooters in the corners (2-JR Smith, 4-Copeland) which made it difficult to help on this action and give up an open corner three. See More

Opening play by OKC in the 4th quarter of their 103-97 game 4 loss to Memphis. An effective screen by Fisher frees Durant up to catch the ball. A strong side drive by Durant draws three defenders and he passes to an open Martin in the corner. As you can see x3 plays inside Collison because x5 rotates to stop the drive. This defensive rotation frees up the highest percentage 3 point shot in the corner. See More

The Knicks ran this play midway through the 4th quarter of their game 5 win over the Pacers. With the Knicks going small and having Shumpert set a ball screen then pop, the Pacers were forced to guard the three point line which opened up the roll for Chandler. See More

The Bulls ran this play in the second quarter of their game one win over Miami. It is a simple Horns set which isolates a guard on the block. If you have a guard who is good as posting up and and has a mismatch inside, this is a great way to get the ball close to the basket. Keep in mind 4 and 5 have to step out and work to get open in order to feed the ball to the guard on the block. See More

Miami ran this play in their game 1 loss to the Bulls. Running Allen over the top of James and Anderson and having Miller spot up in the corner shifts the defense to the left. Noah got disconected from Anderson while helping on Wade coming off of the ball screen. x4 (Boozer) did not enter the lane because he had Mike Miller spotted up in the corner. Anderson was able to get deep post position inside of Boozer because the floor was spaced. NBA players are so good at the throw back pass off the ball screen x3 did not help on the roll man. This defensive rotation breakdown is not typical of Coach Thibodeaus team. See More

First play Memphis ran in the second half of their game 2 win over OKC. This is a great set play that involves backscreens and cuts to the rim. This puts a lot of pressure on the defense. Although Memphis did not get a great shot attempt, there are multiple opportunities to score on this play. Starting the point guard in the corner allowed a little-big back screen and allows the best passes to feed the best post player isolated on the block. See More

I really like this set as a way to get you into a Flex series and also as a way to manage the clock. It gives you two different backscreen options and flows into a FLEX offense look. See More

For this play to work, your 2 has to be able to handle the ball off of a ball screen, and your 4 has to be a passing skilled big that can pick and pop. After 2 dribbles off of the ball screen and passes to 4 he has to be patient to let his defender fall asleep. Once his defender turns his head, the 2 cuts hard backdoor for a lay up. This play is from the 2010-2011 Houston Rockets season. See More
