What is alarming is that people find this alarming. No team in the NBA runs a play that is a surprise. And if you think changing the name means folks would not figure out the play you must not have played any basketball before.
This.
Poeple find just aboyt anything to bitch about. Every team with a half-decent scout can know the other team's plays inside out. Anyone who played the Jazz in the 90s knew the PnR was coming at the end of the game. And still couldnt stop it. Any Phil Jackson coached team ran the same triangle offense. Teams couldnt stop it. Its about the players and execution, not the plays.
Iam sure Corbin and co. might have thrown a few wrinkles out there and added a few plays which Korver didnt go over in detail. Wasnt the first thing Corbin did after he took over was change Sloan's defensive method of funneling the offensive players down the middle of the lane to forcing them baseline? Thats quite a considerable adjustment to begin with. A not-so-subtle change in defensive philosophy . Wonder why Korver or nobody here talks about that.
