Mavs 15 Down

Adam Spinella 05/08/2016

Rick Carlisle utilizes Dirk Nowitzki as a stretch-shooting big man in a variety of ways. This set has Nowitzki coming off a down screen from the point guard, which is an incredibly difficult action to defend. Defenders of point guards are not used to hedging screens, nor are big men to trailing Nowitzki through them. A switch leaves the ball in Nowitzki's hands with a smaller defender on him, and a big man guarding a point guard on an isolated side of the floor. See More

Cleveland Cavaliers - Zipper Empty

Greg Youncofski 05/03/2016

Great set to get the ball inside. This play completely clears out the weak side and the fade screen up top occupies potential weak side help. This is great action if the defense is fronting the post, as it gives a clear opportunity to throw the ball over the top of the post defender. See More

LA Clippers - Post Decoy Stagger

Greg Youncofski 05/03/2016

This set play gets the ball in the post first. The Clippers do a great job setting this up. When Redick first comes off of Jordan’s screen he acts as if he is going to screen for Paul, but cuts at the last second. This misdirection sets it up for him to come right back around off of the stagger screens. See More

Detroit Pistons - Post Hammer

Greg Youncofski 05/03/2016

The Pistons ran this set out of a timeout. This set is effective for many reasons. First, they get the ball into the post which means everyone on the defense has to be ready to rotate to help prevent an easy basket. Next, the split screen up top on the strong side grabs X2’s attention because he has to be ready to stunt at 1 if X1 is late on the recovery/X1 and X4 do not switch. All of this action (the post up/split screen) sets the defense up for what Detroit really wants to get here—the hammer screen. Well-designed play with many options, including 5 on a slip. See More
