Set run by the Boston Celtics.

This is a counter out of the Boston Celtics “Swing” series.

Rather than 2 passing to 4 and receiving a back-screen from 5 for a shuffle screen, 2 dribbles at 4 and 4 back-cuts to the basket for a post-up.

After 4 receives the ball on the block, 5 sets a back-screen for 2.

2 cuts to the basket looking for a drop pass from 4 for a layup.

Creative ball screen set run by the Boston Celtics.

Boston used this action to flow into an elbow ball screen for a guard who had a stretch 4 replacing behind the ball screen.

Having the center come off a zipper down screen is a creative design on an already tough action to guard.

 

1 dribbles to wing

2 sets zipper down screen for 5 and then spaces to corner after setting screen

1 passes to 5 in slot

 

 

 

3 flashes to elbow on 5s catch in the slot

5 passes to 3 on elbow

5 follows bass into ball screen for 3 on the elbow.

 

 

 

3 dribbles off 5s ball screen attacking

5 rolls hard to the rim

4 replaces (or lifts) behind this ball screen

 

 

This post contains two man to man plays from Mike D’Antoni and the Houston Rockets Playbook.

Adjust these sets to fit your players and philosophy and/or take bits and pieces to combine with what you already run.

I realize that the NBA defensive rules are different than high school and college, but I hope you can use these sets as food for thought for improving your system.

The plays are from The Houston Rockets Playbook assembled by Chris Filios.
