Favorite Send to FastDrawHeat ran this at 7:45 of Q3 in game 7. When Chalmers clears to the corner he first runs at Bosh faking the screen. As this is happening Miller is sprinting into the back screen. The Spurs switched the pick and pop. Parker was guarding Miller and on the switch Parker guarded Wade and Manu guarded Miller. When Miller set the ball screen it was in the middle, but so low the screen was at the nail of the FT line. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawRan by the Heat at the 9:30 mark of Q3. The Spurs switched the hand off but Chalmers was still able to drive to the basket and get fouled. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawOpening play of the second half ran by Miami in their game 7 win. The Spurs defended the first three actions well but the spacing and ball movement led to a James drive and dish to a cutting Bosh. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThe Heat ran this at 8:52 Q3 in their game 5 loss to the Spurs. It's a relatively simple play that involves a dribble hand off and step up screen. Having James roll into the lane pulls the defense in and leaves Wade open for a mid range jump shot. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThe Heat ran this set to cut the Spurs lead to 9 with 2:02 left in game 5. Green went over the top of the flare and ended up chasing Allen. Miller cut to the strong corner clearing out the weakside for the ball reversal to Bosh and basket cut for an Allen layup. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawSet run by Miami at the 9:35 mark of Q3 in their game 5 loss to the Spurs. It's a mid ball screen that ends up with a post feed for Wade. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThe Miami Heat ran this two plays back to back last in during Game 4 of the NBA Finals versus the San Antonio Spurs. A trend in the NBA that I love and many coaches don't follow (which I don't understand why) is running plays that work in succession. If a play works well once, why not try it again and make your opponent guard it? That is what the Miami Heat did last night, Option 1 was a quick pin down for Ray Allen which led to an easy floater in the lane. The very next possession down the court the Heat ran the same action but the Spurs did a much better job defending and the Heat had to deviate to a different play. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawLate in the 2nd quarter of Game 2 of the NBA Finals, the MIami Heat ran this pick & roll play for Lebron James which led to an open 3-pointer for Ray Allen. The spacing by the Miami Heat made this very difficult to guard. The Spurs were forced to defend Lebron on the pick which led to Ray Allen's defender rotating down to help Lebron found him easily on the wing. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThe Miami Heat ran this play midway through the 1st quarter of Game 2 of the 2013 NBA Finals verus the San Antonio Spurs. Setting two different angled screens is very effective, especially when the opponent is flat hedging the screens. Further more, setting the screens lower and lower also makes it more difficult to guard because make the rotations off of shooters to help much longer. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawIn the 4th quarter of Game 1 of the 2013 NBA Finals, the Miami Heat ran this play against the San Antonio Spurs. Forced to help on Mike Miller curling into the lane, this allowed Chris Bosh to pop out for an open jumper. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawDuring Game 1 of the 2013 NBA Finals, the Miami Heat ran this play versus the San Antonio Spurs after a timeout in the 2nd quarter. Placing 3 capable scorers (Wade, Cole, Battier) into a screen the screener pick & roll action is very hard to guard because the defense did not want to over-help and give up an easy look. See More

Favorite Send to FastDrawMemphis ran this play at the 5:21 mark of their game three loss to the Spurs. This layup by Randolph put Memphis up by 11. The Spurs made two consecuctive defensive errors on this play. First, Randolph was doubled in the post leaving Gasol wide open at the free throw line. After Pondexter ball faked to the free throw line both Spurs guarding Randolph ran to the free throw line. Z-Bo was left unguarded on the block for the layup. Regardless of the Spurs defensive lapses, this is a good set involving screening to get the ball into the post. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawI figured with so many people doing one set and one drawing, I wanted to offer something different. After reviewing all four games of the Western Conference Finals between the Memphis Grizzlies and San Antonio Spurs I looked at actions that were successful and one's that didn't have quite as much success. I started with the Memphis Grizzlies. The play diagrams below are drawn for multiple plays with the play name titled directly on top of the court frame. These play diagrams are in order with the video you can find here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hYblZmLbIM&feature=youtu.be This way you can view the video and look at the play diagrams while the video is running. I hope you enjoy looking at the Memphis Grizzlies WCF Playbook. See More
