Basketball Play - Chicago Bulls "Wiper (Late Game)"

Chicago Bulls "Wiper (Late Game)"

Gibson Pyper 02/04/2016

Late in games when the Bulls are trailing or in need of a 3 point shot, they run this action for Butler. Butler sets a ballscreen for the point guard on the wing and then cuts off a flare screen from the trailing big (think 21 action). After the point guard clears the ballscreen he attacks baseline as a decoy, the big fakes chasing the point guard for a ballscreen and turns to rescreen Butler cutting back to the ball. See More

Basketball Play - Boston Celtics "Zipper Short Hand Off"

Boston Celtics "Zipper Short Hand Off"

Gibson Pyper 02/12/2016

The only reason this isn't my number one set is because it is not as effective as the number one set, and it is not run as often. This is a great variation off of the "Fist Up Short" set the Phoenix Suns and Steve Nash ran against teams that hard hedge. Instead of looking for the big on the roll, the "Short" man receives the pass and then hands it off to a guard. The best part is the guards are going to their strong hand attacking the rim, Isaiah Thomas to his left & Marcus Smart to his right. See More

Basketball Play - Boston Celtics "Zipper Horns Chicago"

Boston Celtics "Zipper Horns Chicago"

Gibson Pyper 02/12/2016

The Celtics run this set to get Isaiah Thomas a shot going to his left hand. Isaiah Thomas brings the ball up and passes to 2 who zipper cuts lane line extended, then receives the pass and hits the elbow man opposite him. He then cuts over top as the opposite big screens away for Isaiah Thomas going to his left (helpful because he is left handed), and the big with the ball hands off to Isaiah Thomas for a quick shot.

Basketball Play - Los Angeles Clippers "5 High Split"

Los Angeles Clippers "5 High Split"

Gibson Pyper 02/12/2016

Pick & Roll set from the Los Angeles Clippers, very similar to stack action, the has been extremely effective at the end of games or when they need a score. JJ Redick stands at the free throw line, and is facing the point guard as DeAndre Jordan runs a circle around him and sets a high ballscreen for Chris Paul. Chris Paul attacks off the ballscreen as DeAndre rolls to the rim. The key here is JJ cuts up to the 3 point line and the guard who is the same side as DeAndre Jordan stays high to prevent his defender from helping, this results in a lot of layups and lobs for easy scores.

Basketball Play - Dallas Mavericks "Flip Baseline Exit"

Dallas Mavericks "Flip Baseline Exit"

Gibson Pyper 02/12/2016

Dallas runs a great set for some of their stretch 4's and Chandler Parsons when they go small out of flip action. Flip action is the action in which a player receives the pass and then flips it right back to the player who passes it to him. After this initial action, the player who flipped it back receives a backscreen to the rim which is just decoy action. The big who sets the backscreen then receives the pass and hands it off to a guard on the wing cutting. The big then screens down for the stretch 4 who is under the rim to receive an open look coming off the baseline down screen. See More

Basketball Play - Washington Wizards "Slice Stagger Spain"

Washington Wizards "Slice Stagger Spain"

Gibson Pyper 02/12/2016

One of my favorite actions is "Spain" action, which is my term for a backscreen for the player who just set a ballscreen. Randy Wittman has run about 6 different variations out of this concept, but we will look at the main one I think alot of teams could employ. Nearly every college team runs "Slice Stagger" action into a high ballscreen, and to add this wrinkle would be very effective as it has been for the Wizards this year. See More

Basketball Play - Boston Celtics "Flips"

Boston Celtics "Flips"

Gibson Pyper 02/26/2016

This is a creative set and it is similar to weave action in which 3 players flip or pitch the ball as an interchange. On the final flip, a big steps up into a ballscreen. What I like about this set is it gets the players attacking to their strong hands off the final ballscreen: Avery Bradley to his right, and Isaiah Thomas to his left. See More

Basketball Play - Boston Celtics "AI Attack"

Boston Celtics "AI Attack"

Gibson Pyper 02/26/2016

Designed to again get the player attacking to their strong hand, this set off the "AI-Iverson Cut" has options for players to attack off of. The first option is for the player to score and attack the rim, the second is if the defense collapses then look to kick to the big cutting off the hammer screen and finally a throwback set to get misdirection into a guard coming off a throwback screen. For the throwback screen it is important if the team "ICES" the ballscreen and you have already attacked the rim off the Iverson cut, then this will open up this counter even more, making it look like you are attacking and then throw it back for an open look.
