The Houston Rockets utilize the 4 & 5 man in the Pick & Roll is in the post. They have a guard exit to the wing, enter the ball into the post and have Dwight Howard set a flare screen for the wing man. He then follows up and sets a post Pick & Roll for the 4 man in the post and rolls to the rim. See More

Golden State ran this play against Memphis in Game 2 for a David Lee post up. This set is run out of a traditional San Antonio Strong formation, a great shooter at the 2 like Klay Thompson is the perfect decoy to set up a post opportunity. See More

Against a team that fronts the post or plays heavy denial on any post ups, this is a great counter to get a backscreen for a layup from the Memphis Grizzlies. See More

Another counter to a normal set that teams ran in the regular season is an empty set from the Washington Wizards. The Wizards normally run a post rub into a cross screen for the big man to get a post touch, but in the playoffs they ran a counter that had the guard who normally screens the big man, runs to the corner. The other big flashes to the elbow to empty the paint and allows the big to seal his man and have an entry for a layup. See More

Memphis Grizzlies ran this floppy cross screen play after a timeout against the Portland Trailblazers in Game 2 (First Round). Memphis ended up giving ball to Marc Gasol in the high seam... However, also a great isolation play for Zach Randolph (4). See More

In this play, the Thunder get into a flex action by reversing the ball from 1 to 3 on the left wing. 4 screens for 2, but instead of 5 screening down he moves to the opposite elbow. 3 looks to pass inside to 2 posting up. See More

Good action to get your post player a look aound the block to score. Coach Mike Krzyzewski's Duke Blue Devils utilized this set in their 2010 National Championship victory over Butler. See More

In this post play option from the Ragin Cajuns, the point guard dribbles up the left side of the floor towards the wing. As 1 is dribbling towards the wing, 3 clears from the ball-side corner to the opposite side of the floor. 3 cuts around 5 trying to get 5's defender to worry about the cut. As 3 clears to the opposite side, 5 steps around for a post-up option from 1. If the post-up isn't there, 5 steps out to set a ball-screen. 4 moves to the ball-side corner, 1 drives, and 5 rolls to the basket. See More

When you have a point guard like Chris Paul, you have to give him the option to call his own number. Exactly like Rondo would run Slice 1 in Boston, Paul has the freedom to call this play anytime he feels he has the size advantage against his man. See More

This option is very similar to the Slice Reverse option that Boston ran, and is another counter to get Blake Griffin a post up. The added wrinkle in L.A. is the addition of a 1-5 Side P/R. See More

While the Celtics best utilized the Slice series with KG as the trail big, the Clippers prefer to have Blake Griffin start on the block. The Clippers used this setup to get Blake catches at his left block sweet spot. If the post up is not there, the 2 and 3 can play out 2nd side action for additional options. See More

Another version of the basic Slice set. The first look is still a post up, but this set has the added variation of a pin down for the 2 if no post up opportunity is available. See More

This is a counter to the Boston Celtics Slice Roll for teams that deny the reversal pass to 3. Instead of swinging the ball to Pierce, the 4 man, likely KG, goes back into a DHO with 1, and then receives a staggered rip screen from 5 and 2. See More

This is a great counter to Slice Double with KG at the 5. The setup is the same, but instead of Allen coming off of the stagger, he sets a cross screen for KG and then receives a pin down from 4. See More

Rajon Rondo’s size often led to mismatches, and this Slice variation used by the Celtics allowed him to call his own number and get a good post up opportunity on the block. The setup looks exactly like regular Slice, but the 2 man rejects the flex screen, allowing Rondo to slip around the 5 and seal his defender. See More
