1 screens across the lane for 4. 4 cuts to the short corner looking for a shot. At the same time, 5 dives down the lane line looking to fill the space where 1 just vacated. If 4 gets the ball without a shot opportunity, he passes to 3 who then passes to 1. 5 sets a flex-screen for 4 who looks to score in the lane. See More

Doc Rivers loves to get Chris Paul & Blake Griffin in a Post Pick & Roll situation to put the defense in a tough situation. Out of this set, they ran a counter late against the San Antonio Spurs to get Chris Paul moving and attacking off a double screen. Instead of setting a flex screen and then sealing his man for a post up, Paul leaks out and receives a dribble handoff from Blake Griffin and attacks off a ballscreen from DeAndre Jordan. See More

In this flex option, the Jazz get into the play with a dribble entry and a back-screen for 4 at the top of the key (just as in "Flex Stagger"). Instead of 4 setting the flex-screen, 2 cuts to the wing off of the staggered down-screen from 5 and 3. Once 2 has cleared, 5 sets a flare-screen for 3 who cuts to the corner for a shot. See More

In this flex option from the Utah Jazz, 1 dribbles up the floor as 3 sets a back-screen at the top of the key for 4 trailing the play. 4 cuts down to the block lookin for the pass from 1. If neither 3 or 4 are open, 4 sets a flex-screen for 5 and then cuts off of a staggered down-screen from 2 and 3. See More

In this play, the Thunder get into a flex action by reversing the ball from 1 to 3 on the left wing. 4 screens for 2, but instead of 5 screening down he moves to the opposite elbow. 3 looks to pass inside to 2 posting up. See More

If 4 gets the ball without a shot, he can pass to 1 and set a ball-screen or dribble towards 1 giving him the ball on a dribble hand-off. See More

This option is very similar to the Slice Reverse option that Boston ran, and is another counter to get Blake Griffin a post up. The added wrinkle in L.A. is the addition of a 1-5 Side P/R. See More

While the Celtics best utilized the Slice series with KG as the trail big, the Clippers prefer to have Blake Griffin start on the block. The Clippers used this setup to get Blake catches at his left block sweet spot. If the post up is not there, the 2 and 3 can play out 2nd side action for additional options. See More

Another set out of the Mike D’Antoni playbook, 4 Pop is designed for a shooting 4. While Blake Griffin has improved his midrange jumper each year, the main advantage of this set is putting Blake 1 on 1 against his usually slower defender at the top of the key. His driving ability makes this play an ideal Slice counter for the Clippers, and an option that the Celtics likely would not have been able to utilize with KG. A clear side P/R with Blake and CP3 is also a great 2nd option to have. See More

Another version of the basic Slice set. The first look is still a post up, but this set has the added variation of a pin down for the 2 if no post up opportunity is available. See More

This play comes straight from the Mike D’Antoni playbook, and sets up exactly like the basic Slice action that Doc Rivers used in Boston. While the option is there to bring any great post up player to the block, as D’Antoni often did with Carmelo Anthony in New York, this is really just a Spread High P/R in disguise. This is a money play for Chris Paul. See More

The 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

This is also a Celtics counter to Slice Roll. This time, instead of the 4 receiving a staggered rip screen, the 2 receives a stagger screen for a catch and shoot opportunity. See More

This 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
