Boston Celtics "Chin Spartans"
08/26/2015A Nice Pick and Roll set that Brad Stevens runs similar to his basic "Chin" set but with both bigs as the screeners. Key here is the 4 man can shoot it, popping on the ballscreen to create space. See More

Boston Celtics Horns 24
05/11/2015This 13-14 play from the Boston Celtics starts just like Horns 23. In this option, instead of setting a cross screen to the post for the 3 man, the 2 sets a rip screen for the 4 to a block post up. The 5 man then cleans up on 2 for pick the picker action. See More

Boston Celtics Horns 23
05/11/2015This play comes from the 13-14 Celtics, and is a simple flex screen-down screen pick the picker play. The action is very common to the NBA, but starting the play out of a Horns P/R is a twist that Brad Stevens added to the play. This sets up the next play, Horns 24, quite nicely. See More

Boston Celtics "Indy Rip"
04/30/2015Brad Stevens took an underrated and a Boston Celtic team that had mid season trades and were expecting to head for an early draft pick to the playoffs. He is one of the best basketball minds in the NBA, and he runs a nice set for Isaiah Thomas with multiple options off of it. It starts with a dribble handoff to the trailing big and the point guard cuts off backscreen from the opposite big man at the elbow. The first option is for the point guard to "V" cut back off at the elbow and look for a shot opportunity. If there is not shot available, 5 will step up and set a ballscreen, because of the dribble handoff 4 is already spacing the floor, so the Spread Pick & Roll doesn't need to be setup. The next option is for 1 to continue off backscreen and set a flex screen for the wing man and then receive a down screen from 4. See More

Boston Celtics Slice 5
04/16/2015The Slice formation allows the option to alter your alignment and bring any player off of the flex screen to a post up. In this Celtics set play for a KG post up, the play can start out of a normal Slice alignment, or a corner-filled “Weak” alignment. See More

Boston Celtics Slice 4
04/16/2015This 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

Boston Celtics Slice Roll
04/16/2015This Slice option for the Celtics was a quick hitter that could be run at any time in early offense and didn’t need to be a called set. It is a quick reversal to the 3, into a Side P/R. With Pierce at the 3, there are a number of threats here that are difficult to guard. When KG is at the 4, the Pick and Pop is difficult to guard. If x2 pulls in to defend against the duck-in from 5, Ray Allen is sitting in the corner waiting to strike. See More

Boston Celtics Slice Reverse
04/16/2015This 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
