this play is the most important play in basketball. You are guaranteed to see it most times down the court.

WHY IS IT THAT WE GIVE UP SO MANY OPEN SHOTS OFF OF THIS PLAY????

The pick and roll was not invented last week. WTF is the problem with these guys effectively defending it?

depends on the system. Most of our players didn't go for full 4 yr college, so they may miss out on important facets of game like the pick and roll. They're a little dumber than other players and therefore play poor D and make terrible decisions.

At Washington, Robinson said, he rarely even ran a pick-and-roll play, a staple of every NBA offense.

If you don't know how to run the pick and roll, how are you supposed to defend it?
If it didn’t work in Phoenix with Nash and Stoutamire... it’s just not a winning formula. It’s an entertaining formula, but not a winning one. - Derek Harper talking about D'Antoni's System

no wonder why the knicks are pretty good at the pick and roll on offense, because it works great in practice, they can't defend it in practice, so obviously they think it is a great play to run, and we see they have sucess on offense in practce because they can't defend it during games either...

Pick -n roll is one of the most basic fundamentally designe play in the NBA.. looking @ this team with the players on the roster, they're not equipped on running plays efficiently both ends of the court..

Their defense all- around is deporable.. Knicks need to start acquiring defensive -minded players..
