The triangle is visible only if spacing between players is good. There are many things to it but spacing is a must and then all 3 players involved have to move together to keep triangle from collapsing. When ball goes to other 2 players a new triangle can be formed if shot-clock allows or they run 2-man game.
So passing and spacing is the main point. It takes constant involvement of all 5 players in the offense. With the ball and without.
Its a lot of mental and physical work. So it is easy to see who is willing and capable and who should sit or go.

Thanks guys. I'll see if I can make more sense of it as the season progresses. Maybe the name "triangle" is just throwing me, because, as I said, anywhere you have three guys, you can draw a triangle between them. Obviously there's more to it than that though.

The Hornets game wasn't a text book Clinic on the Triangle. Maybe next game will be better. Despite that the Knicks did the right thing for much of the game. They shot 50% and had 23 assists. So they had some poor possessions but more good than bad possessions. It's a work in progress.
