Basketball Play - Boston Celtics "Winner"

Boston Celtics "Winner"

Gibson Pyper 02/26/2016

This is my favorite Brad Stevens set that he runs at the end of games when his team needs a 3 point shot and it almost always results in an open look for Avery Bradley. Beginning with the player you want to receive the flare screen, he zipper cuts to the top of the key as a decoy. After the zipper cut, a guard on the weakside block sets a backscreen for a big (3-4 man) to cut toward the rim on the opposite side of the key and receive a pass. After the big catches the pass, the other big man sets a flare screen for the initial guard to get an open look from 3. See More

Basketball Play - Boston Celtics "Chicago Flare"

Boston Celtics "Chicago Flare"

Gibson Pyper 02/26/2016

This set is designed to get misdirection action before a flare screen for Jae Crowder. Both bigs at the elbows, one receives the pass and Crowder looks to screen away for the point guard. This is misdirection action and is looking to freeze his defender before flaring off a screen from the opposite big to get an open shot. See More

Basketball Play - Washington Wizards "Slice Stagger Spain"

Washington Wizards "Slice Stagger Spain"

Gibson Pyper 02/12/2016

One of my favorite actions is "Spain" action, which is my term for a backscreen for the player who just set a ballscreen. Randy Wittman has run about 6 different variations out of this concept, but we will look at the main one I think alot of teams could employ. Nearly every college team runs "Slice Stagger" action into a high ballscreen, and to add this wrinkle would be very effective as it has been for the Wizards this year. See More

Basketball Play - Dallas Mavericks "Flip Baseline Exit"

Dallas Mavericks "Flip Baseline Exit"

Gibson Pyper 02/12/2016

Dallas runs a great set for some of their stretch 4's and Chandler Parsons when they go small out of flip action. Flip action is the action in which a player receives the pass and then flips it right back to the player who passes it to him. After this initial action, the player who flipped it back receives a backscreen to the rim which is just decoy action. The big who sets the backscreen then receives the pass and hands it off to a guard on the wing cutting. The big then screens down for the stretch 4 who is under the rim to receive an open look coming off the baseline down screen. See More

Basketball Play - Los Angeles Clippers "5 High Split"

Los Angeles Clippers "5 High Split"

Gibson Pyper 02/12/2016

Pick & Roll set from the Los Angeles Clippers, very similar to stack action, the has been extremely effective at the end of games or when they need a score. JJ Redick stands at the free throw line, and is facing the point guard as DeAndre Jordan runs a circle around him and sets a high ballscreen for Chris Paul. Chris Paul attacks off the ballscreen as DeAndre rolls to the rim. The key here is JJ cuts up to the 3 point line and the guard who is the same side as DeAndre Jordan stays high to prevent his defender from helping, this results in a lot of layups and lobs for easy scores.

Basketball Play - Boston Celtics "Zipper Horns Chicago"

Boston Celtics "Zipper Horns Chicago"

Gibson Pyper 02/12/2016

The Celtics run this set to get Isaiah Thomas a shot going to his left hand. Isaiah Thomas brings the ball up and passes to 2 who zipper cuts lane line extended, then receives the pass and hits the elbow man opposite him. He then cuts over top as the opposite big screens away for Isaiah Thomas going to his left (helpful because he is left handed), and the big with the ball hands off to Isaiah Thomas for a quick shot.

Basketball Play - Boston Celtics "Zipper Short Hand Off"

Boston Celtics "Zipper Short Hand Off"

Gibson Pyper 02/12/2016

The only reason this isn't my number one set is because it is not as effective as the number one set, and it is not run as often. This is a great variation off of the "Fist Up Short" set the Phoenix Suns and Steve Nash ran against teams that hard hedge. Instead of looking for the big on the roll, the "Short" man receives the pass and then hands it off to a guard. The best part is the guards are going to their strong hand attacking the rim, Isaiah Thomas to his left & Marcus Smart to his right. See More

Basketball Play - Chicago Bulls "Turn 5"

Chicago Bulls "Turn 5"

Gibson Pyper 02/04/2016

This is a post entry and a designed hand off back to Butler from Gasol in the post for a shot or drive to the rim. The reason I beleive this is a professional set is because of the spacing the pros can play in and the skill to be able to hand off back to the player for a score. See More

Basketball Play - Chicago Bulls "Pitch (Lob)"

Chicago Bulls "Pitch (Lob)"

Gibson Pyper 02/04/2016

My good friend Zak Boisvert made a great Pitch Series video of Hoiberg's pitch action. This is an option off this series in which the opposite corner empties out and cuts ballside, and Butler receives a backscreen for a lob. We saw this action at Iowa State and it has continued into the NBA with the Bulls as well. See More

Basketball Play - Chicago Bulls "Wiper (Late Game)"

Chicago Bulls "Wiper (Late Game)"

Gibson Pyper 02/04/2016

Late in games when the Bulls are trailing or in need of a 3 point shot, they run this action for Butler. Butler sets a ballscreen for the point guard on the wing and then cuts off a flare screen from the trailing big (think 21 action). After the point guard clears the ballscreen he attacks baseline as a decoy, the big fakes chasing the point guard for a ballscreen and turns to rescreen Butler cutting back to the ball. See More
