Rip City Two 3 on 3 team

[H.C.]

For sure.

What's the difference between injured you and 100% you?

Answering you is difficult for me.
I've always been someone who believes that if you really can play, then you don't need to say a word.
Lets just say, I won't be afraid to attack this year due to worrying about being able to breathe.

A lot of off ball screens on offense!

Fundamentals win championships.
- Gregg Popovich (Probably)

I read this article today about Love and Korver's off-ball two-man game. I found it interesting.

I don't really play off-the-ball but we'll make it work. Had 31/12/10 in a 98-90 win at rec league tonight. I manipulate the defense to open up passing or scoring lanes. Kinda LeBron-like.

No ego just like LeBron.

I'd say my comp is Wes Matthews (post Achilles): three and D, limited handles but can drive (only to the right), and enjoys post up.

Well with me you're gonna have to. Sounds like we'll have 3 ballhandlers.

 

[dviss1]

It's 3-on-3.. Can't exactly run a lot of off ball screens.

Just pass and screen away.

If you can do stuff I gladly will. I was the only one last year.

I said "a lot" not "any".

There's a pass and screen away drill we run in practice with 3 players. A good shot can occur on every play if it's ran correctly.

Yeah, I like handling the ball in pick n roll. I tink that's the way to go because it's hard to hit jumpers on the court we were playing on do defenses just sagged.

Pick and roll, slip, and pop should all work. Screener forces a switch then we attack the mismatch.

Just play smart. For sure.

That is true, but I want you to trust him on that end as a team mate as well. Same on offense, I want you guys to trust eachother enough to make an extra pass. 3 on 3 itself lends to more isolation, but it's also less forgiving if the defense defends screens incorrectly. One wrong call on a slip and you've got a path to the rim.

As I said, teams seemed pretty solid last year, I was impressed. That being said I think a 3 man 2-1 zone could be effective. Basically I'm thinking we want to contest 3's and the rim, force our opponents to take long 2's. Chances are there will be someone on their team capable of hitting, just like there is on our team, but as hoop fans we all know that is the least efficient shot to give your opponent.

I want to see Bones get involved off screens with cuts. He's got good handles for his size and I'm comfortable that he can take his opponent to the rim all day if set up properly.

I have ideas for all of you, but I'd want to know where you are comfortable on the court. Likewise I want teammates to know that as well so that we can try to get everyone their looks.

Sounds good

Imo the more ball handlers the better. Lots of drives to try and get good looks at the rim, otherwise kick outs to shooters or kick for another drive, manipulate the defense to get open looks.

That's what we need to do on defense. Protect the Rim above all else. I'll live with 3s and long 2s. Now if we are playing someone like that guy from Z100 we will have to adjust.

And if all else fails after this year we can fire the coach

Yeah drive, kick, relocate. People tend to ball watch.

Hey @BonesJones can you look at your jersey and see what the tag says. Name, model number, any information to search for it on the interwebs.

Thanks.

@BonesJones? How about you @honkicracker?

Wasn't the z100 team the team who had the guy that after he airballed a shot I told him he shoots like Westbrook?

Uhhm...... I cut the tag off months ago.
