Basketball Play - Cleveland Cavaliers - Point Flares (vs switching)

Cleveland Cavaliers - Point Flares (vs switching)

Doug Brotherton 05/22/2018

In Games 1 and 2 of the 2018 Eastern Conference Finals, the Boston Celtics got a lot of credit for their smooth switches defensively. In games 3 and 4, the Cleveland Cavaliers countered with some basic actions to pick on the switching defense. Their most effective action was their "Point Flares," with LeBron James as the passer from the middle of the floor. The corner to wing flare allows the screener to seal and cut to the rim, for a pass over the top. This set gave the Celtics fits, resulting in multiple layups for Cleveland.

Philadelphia 76ers - Ear Tug 25 Post 1 Bump

Austin Anderson 05/04/2018

Philadelphia 76ers - ATO Favorite: This ATO is out of the "EAR TUG" Series. Play is designed to get Simmons to the post to create. "Number-Number" tells you who is involved with the action. "2-5" are involved. 2 flares off 5 (Ear Tug). 5 then rip screens/back screens 1 to the block (post 1). "Bump" refers to the 5 setting a low ball screen for 1. An option out of this play is to have Embiid slip the "BUMP" for a lob look. Click for more 76ers XsOs! See More

Basketball Play - Philadelphia 76ers - 25 Pop SLOB

Philadelphia 76ers - 25 Pop SLOB

Austin Anderson 05/04/2018

Philadelphia 76ers SLOB Action. Philly loves running regular actions out of SLOB looks. A majority of its SLOB's will start with a strong side back screen and a weak side pin to the top. In this action from there, Simmons gets them into their "Ear Tug" Series which looks a lot like "Horns". "Number-Number" tells you who is involved in the action. So for Ear Tug 25 Pop, the 2-5 are in action. Simmons comes off the 2 (Redick/Belinelli) and the 2 is flared by the 5 all the way out to the wing (Pop). Redick/Belinelli have the green light to shoot if they get open. Simmons then receives a RIP/Back screen from the 5 and clears. If the lob or dump down to Simmons is there, they will take it. Sequence ends with Embiid playing a 2-man game with Redick/Belinelli. See More

Philadelphia 76ers - PG DHO to Post Up

Austin Anderson 05/02/2018

This is a misdirection play by the 76ers to post Ben Simmons on the weak side block, which Philly loves to do because of his passing skills and court vision from this area. Embiid/Saric/Ilysova make the entry and then play out of it. Entry passer can cut through or set a flare screen for Covington/Reddick/Belineli. 2-5 are interchangeable spots. The Sixers play call for this is "Platter" which simmons will yell as he holds his hand out palm up. See More
