And Jr Smith got paid, and remembered he was jr smith. And Shump started falling off, and they don't actually have a competent head coach, and they are extremely old, and their bench is weak. | ||

Yep. My whole post about setting proper screens last page. There's surprisingly few players in the NBA that scree and roll properly. Chandler's contribution to the Knicks' offense went way above his usage %. Also, guess I got my answer about Bosh vs West. Bosh still has a very hard time against Indiana's bigs. Too much of them and they're too strong. | ||

Is the Clippers's off-ball movement even in the same realm as the Heat's? They score a lot of points, but it's running in transition like the Heat were in 2011, rather than executing in the half court (besides Crawford and Paul being amazing iso players.) Like I said, LBJ is actually initiating their offense less this year, so he's involved in the cuts like Wade is. The open looks are created through movements and screens, not a double team on an LBJ drive. It's evolved because they leveraged their extraordinary talent to do things other teams can't. It includes the triangle, because they can run it through Lebron. They're also able to make cross-court passes more easily because of Lebron. So you're partially right, but plenty of other teams have had extraordinary talent and haven't been able to mold their offense around their players' strengths (ie. OKC.) Probably less than a third of the teams in the NBA run set plays competently from 1-5, and the Heat are #1 or #2. So it might not be "special" that players do what they're supposed to do, but in the context of other NBA teams it is. If Lebron goes down for a stretch of time, I think the Heat's offense will still be very successful the same way the Spurs' is. I don't think that's true for Durant and the Thunder or Harden and the Rockets, even though all three offenses lead in PPP. See I just don't consider this to be a highly evolved offense, but rather evolved offensive players. Don't get me wrong, the Heat are a fantastic offensive team. But going through that article and watching the Heat play, I don't see this remarkable offensive design. I see a few elite players that are fantastic at the game of basketball and role players who know their place. Only 5ish teams really have a shot at winning the title this year, its not really fair to compare any of those teams to the rest of the NBA in pretty much any regard. And this "highly evolved" offense was just held to 84 points against the best defense. Highly evolved is just a really dumb way of saying the Heat have a pretty damn good offense. Ball movement and screens aren't highly evolved, they are basketball. The Heat are just really good at basketball. | ||
