The pick and roll: the bread and butter of basketball


I think we would all agree that the pick and roll is the bread and butter of basketball. (off the ball or on the ball)

How come we don't do it? I've been hating on Nate for awhile ..it's amazing how we can have a similar record when we're healthy vs when we're not. (for the most part...) So i give props to him ..but i'm not sure he can take us to the next level.

I see us trying way too hard to do simple plays and one thing I hate is

OUR SCREENS SUCK ... Most our players SUCK at screening. we used to be good ..but i think we relaxed on it ..we used to be able to get rudy way open ...

The next time you watch a game ..watch how we screen ... aldirdge might be our worst screener

Joel is our best. ... but his offensive is so limited that it usually doesn't open much up ...

idk ...maybe it's just that i'm mad that our offense is so boring .. I just see so much potential tweeking little things .. We do too many curl arounds or double curl arounds fo shooters with bad screens

Have you seen us ever consistently do a steve nash screen and roll where nash uses the screen ...draws the defender then side bounce passes beautifully to the rolling screener ????

How come we NEVER do this .. i think i've seen it only a few times and it was with patty or rudy at the point n

I really don't understand why we don't do it enough ...

once agian ..watch a game see the screens ..sometimes we really don't even touch the man we're screening ..it's really sad to see
