Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 2788510, member: 652"] Here's a simple version of how the D'Antoni offense works: Spread shooters around the floor and run a high pick-and-roll with the point guard and big man. With a 5-on-4 opportunity (with the opposing point guard blocked by the pick), the point guard can shoot, attack the basket, hit his big man rolling to the basket, or kick the ball out to any of his shooters. In almost any variation of the play, somebody is open and defenses are scrambling to recover. And it's even better to play this style at a fast pace. We do none of this except the pick and roll and our big isn’t an offensive threat. Our pick and rolls don’t work because the big hedges as our big isn’t a threat. We run D’Antoni’s offense about as well as our football team runs the triple option. Which is to say we don’t run this offense. [/QUOTE]
