Basketball Play - New York's staggered triple screen

New York's staggered triple screen

Mark Travis 03/11/2013

Aside from having an extremely talented offensive player like Carmelo Anthony, the biggest reason that the Knicks rank third in the NBA in scoring efficiency is the beautiftul playbook that Mike Woodson has assembled. Granted, a lot of the stuff the Knicks run today comes straight out of Mike D'Antoni's scheme - in fact, I think New York runs more of D'Antoni's stuff than the Lakers do - but Woodson deserves a ton of credit for how he has handled the offense this season. Here is a play that New York occasionally runs in semi-transition or in the half-court. It is a high staggered triple screen that takes advantage of New York's staple offensively: a stretch four. Usually, that player is Carmelo, but in this particular example, with Melo out with an injury, Steve Novak assumes the role of a stretch four. The staggered triple screen action has a pair of pick-and-pops and a pick-and-roll to cap it off that can send the defense scrambling to find their assignments and put them in a poor position to defend in the case of a mismatch or good ball rotation. When the Knicks ran it against the Cavs a couple of days ago, Cleveland got all out of place following Novak at the three-point line and left Amare wide open on the roll for an easy dunk. See More

Friday night on ESPN the Boston Celtics had a nail bite victory over the Atlanta Hawks in Overtime. After few crucial turnovers late by the Hawks, Paul Pierce came through in the clutch once again hitting some big shots; along side Jason Terry. See More

Yesterday the Creighton Bluejays ran this Quick Hitter on their way to winning The Valley Championship and a birth to the 2013 NCAA Tournament. Gibbs and McDermott are probably as good a duo in the college game as Stockton and Malone were in the NBA. They do a phenomenal job reading each other on the offensive end of the floor. See More

Michigan State also ran this great half-court action Thursday night vs Wisconsin. Tim Izzo does a great job using different motions to get numerous results out of his plays. What I love about this play initially you get the defense so caught up on the backscreen that it makes it even more difficult to guard the stagger. See More

Missing their leading scorer in Carmelo Anthony, the New York Knicks went to a small line-up Thursday night in their game vs the Oklahome City Thunder. Late in the 2nd Half the Knicks ran this pick & roll action to force the defense to sink in to guard the ballscreen action which opened up some shooters on the perimeter. See More
