Basically it's set transition plays based around moving the ball to a fast PG who is looking to pass it to shooters who are either looking to get to the corners or trailing a bit. If defenses play to deny the 3 ball it just lets the PG drive to the basket easier.

Basically it's a fast pass from Rolo to a guard who then passes again to another guard or wing who either streaks up the Court to try to dunk (if they are ahead him)or who has get into position to shoot a 3 (behind him).

Too technical dude... he's basically utilizing the trailer. They don't do that anymore because everyone is sliding out to the 3 point line even on fast breaks

If SSOL was the plan then why did we amnesty Billups in order to pair Tyson and Amare together? In the frontcourt. Y not use the money from the amnesty on young uptempo guards?

Now they must develop Grant and add to the mix players that will push the team. Wroten fits that bill if healthy. Shooters are sorely needed, at the 1,2 and 3 (assuming Melo is more a 4, now)

A lot of the running Hornacek is talking about are getting down quick off of missed shots by the other team and if we don't or aren't able to get down quick enough to get a good quick shot then i'm sure that's when they'll come down to set up the triangle offense.

I think we'll have to go small a lot with KP at the 5, Melo at the 4.

We need to add some guards like Evan Turner, maybe Courtney Lee, who can play 2/3 and allow us to play smaller and faster.

Well he is the center and does play under the basket so it's pretty normal for the center to be the last guy down the court and he's a true center so he's a big slower guy.

I guess its a wait and see. Id like to load up on guards and cut everyones PT so we can stay fresh.

Well first of all what do you think of my ideas in the post below yours and do you know how many men JH played in his rotations in Phoenix??

The guy just changed his whole game to play the triangle offense so why wouldn't he buy into a system that he's already said he's excited to play in?? Enough with the Melo hate, the guy is a true professional and will do whatever to win especially now when he knows he's only got another 3/4 years of being a top player in the game and wants to win asap.

I'm not Melo hating. I'm just pointing out the obvious which so many here forget. The fact is he is a half court player. He didn't want the triangle that is why he was all in on Tibs. Tibs is a grind it out half court coach. He wants nothing to do with the triangle.

I don't get why people here think Melo had some sort monster year he had one of his worst season for him. He upped his assist by 1 and everything else went down. My personal feeling is he is going to want out by trade deadline. Top player? That is really pushing it Good/Decent player at best. Top contract yes.
