When youre down late in games, what do you have in your offensive package / system
that allows you to get good shots quickly to get you back into the game?
The clippers may use this offense for 5-6 minute stretches at any point during the game
they call it 21
Hurry-up offense doesnt mean playing fast and out of control, it means playing with
good pace and good flow
The PG must advance the ball to operating area inside 4 seconds. In the NBA you are
always working against the clock
In the NBA teams run an average 80-90 pick and rolls every game
The spacing and rules help the pick and roll game be the toughest action to guard
The hardest aspect of pick and roll action to defend against is single side bump
o Teams runs all kinds of actions, false motion and misdirection just to end up in
single side bump
o Single side meaning a single defender having to bump the roll man with 2
players spaced weak side
o Defensively: all team try to ICE the side pick and roll and send the ball handler
to the single side defender. When the big rolls, there are now 2 defenders on
weak side helping on the roll
When in doubt, spread out: either drive & kick OR pick and roll
If youre pick and roll team run more little/big screens to get the bigs defender off
Floor Spots
Whichever side PG brings the ball to, the ball-side wing buttonhooks to catch the ball
straddling the 3-point line
o The wings: run wide and must look over their inside shoulder as they cross the
half-court line to locate the ball
Point guard: Volleyball line (between the lane line and sideline)
1st big: pro lane line on ball side
2nd big: weak side seam
Same as above wing fakes the hand off and keeps the ball
First big runs into a pick and roll
Weak side: pin down as ball handler comes off
Ball handler makes the read: layup, jump shot, roll-man, shake action, weak side pin
down

PG pitches ahead to the wing, wing keeps it, then dribble hand-offs with the big
The big (usually Blake Griffin) drives the ball downhill off the hand-off
