Favorite Send to FastDrawThe Bulls ran this baseline out of bounds play with two seconds left in the first half of their 99-93 game 7 win over Brooklyn. The timing is important on this play. Have 4 set the back screen, then 5 set a backscreen as 4 is pinning down. Boozers man did not protect the basket and Boozer cut to the basket for a dunk. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawMiami 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
Favorite Send to FastDrawHere is a dribble hand off action that develops into a down screen and flare screen action. This quick hitter can be very hard to guard, especially the 5 to 2 hand off because of the big to little match up. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawCKSA ran this blob at the end of the first half in their Euroleague semi final loss to Olympiacos. If you are having trouble inbounding the ball or turning the ball over from the baseline, try setting a double screen. I have rarely seen a double screen used at H.S.'s or on the AAU circuit. At the very least you should get the ball in bounds and if x4 or x5 do not defend properly can slip to the basket for a layup. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThis play is designed to clear the middle of the floor for your point guard or best scorer. Double stacks create a set play look initially. 2 and 3 flatten out to the corners to draw defenders. As dribbler begins penetration, 2 and 3 read their defender. If help is given, 2 and 3 slide up to receive pass. If no help is shown they stay flat. Give it a try! See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawCutting action sets up a curl and pop option for 3 and 5 respectively. 1 and 3 cut initially to set up ball reversal. On reversal from 2-4-1, 3 curls using 5's screen, followed by a screen down by 2 to free 5. This play is perfect for a scoring 3 man and a 5 that can shoot the perimeter jump shot. Both options will be present. Give it a try! See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawHere is a set play that was run numerous times in the Spurs second game vs. the Golden State Warriors last night. This play starts out of a 3-out 2-in set and quickly develops into a set that gives you a screen and roll option on the strong side and a stagger screen on the weak side. This play is effective because the strong side ball screen forces the defenders of 5 or 3 on the weak side to be in help and will allow either 5 or 3 to slip to the basket after setting their screen.

Favorite Send to FastDrawThis is another flex-ish set that the Golden State Warriors ran last night versus the Spurs. Rather than running the traditional flex, the Warriors spread out the floor and went into a quick 3-man game to get Stephen Curry a quick 3-pointer from a hand-off late in the 3rd quarter. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawFirst 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
Favorite Send to FastDrawI am sure I have posted this play in the past but it is one of my favorites so I wanted to post it again! The Golden State Warriors went to this action in the 1st Half of Game 4 versus the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Semi-Finals. This elbow set into a flex action is very popular in the NBA; Stan Van Gundy ran it religiously in Orlando. While us coaches are all very familiar with the Flex, I have learned recently that many young players today are not familiar with how to run the play NOR guard it. In my opinion, if you have two great scorers on the floor, this is a very difficult action to guard. The defense has to respect the flex cut give up a lay-up. Then by pinning down on the screener, the defense must make a decision how to guard and if they over-react the big will be open slipping to the rim. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThis is an excellent action to that gave the Spurs a quick flared three pointer. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThis play can yield a lay up or post up by 3 or a three point shot by 4. Starts with a double flare for 1 who catches on the left wing. On the catch, 4 screens for 3 diving to the basket. If 4's defender helps a little on 3's cut, 4 steps out behind the line to shoot a three. False action between 2 and 5 on the right wing will occupy the weak side defenders. Give it a try! See More
