Quin Price Snyder's Offence

[franklin]

Since the Jazz put on a beautiful offensive clinic the last game I finally decided to create one.


Motion Strong variation:

Gobert plays the "duck in" role, Lyles the trailer. Instead of passing to Lyles for play initiation as his man covered outside the 3 point line, he pushes down.

Gobert flashes up for the mismatch screen.

A little too much ICE, big guy?

Then dives to an awkward area designed to set a 6' vs 7' post up, or a Kobe Assist location.

Hill backs out. Check the mismatches.

Help for Hill has to hedge cover between Gobert's Kobe Assist Dunk and Hill burning a big for an easy layup. The other shrimp has to hedge off his man to assist as well.

Leaving Lyles wide open in the corner.

 

[franklin]

Another strong motion variation:

Gobert inbounds and is later down the court. Lyles doesn't take the duck in role.

Instead of waiting to set a double down screen, Hill runs flex-like motion, with possibility of a corner three off a Gobert screen. Everyone is moving.

Lyles sets a double screen but effectively screens 3 players.

Ice any harder, Coach Malone?
Hayward had 4 options.

Splash.

 

[franklin]

The Jazz ran this strong Diaw-Gobert action twice in a row last night.

Initiation.

Ball reversal and Diaw post up.

Gobert sets the hard screen and the wing defender has to hedge his cover.

Gobert slips for the easy alley-oop.

These are some good pictures. IMO, Rudy is the key guy in each of these plays. The defense has such a large hill to climb if he can get a good screen off. I also can't seem to take my eye off of Denver's defense. Mike Malone has some serious work to do with guys.

Rudy is easily the best screener in the game.

Here's Strong Motion, lazy V cuts combined with the Diaw post-up (which has become a cornerstone of the offense at times).

Initiation. Hill to trailing big, swing to wing.

Johnson makes a lazy V-cut and comes back for the Gobert pin-down screen while Hayward passes into the post.

Hayward doubles the screen and turns it into a lazy V-cut as Johnson isn't open for the 3 and so he dives to the paint.

Johnson pins Jameer Nelson between himself and Chandler, leaving Hayward wide open.

 

[franklin]

Hayward mismatch post-up:

Looks like a variant of Quin's wider HORNS-ish sets.

Hayward screwed the pooch on this play by not passing to Diaw, with a swing option to Johnson. Then again, Diaw almost refuses to shoot a wide open three lately.

 

[NAOS]

so much more off-ball movement and general variation in the offense now that Hill is back and Diaw seems to be healthier.

 

[franklin]

Here is fake HORNS with Hayward cutting through to initiate into weak motion. Snyder has been running a ton of motion into HORNS and HORNS into motion this year. The goal of this one is to get Diaw into the post. The Jazz ran this the first two possessions against Atlanta.

Hayward cut through, Diaw pops out, and Hill cuts down the weak side.

Gobert pops out for ball reversal.

Diaw posts up.

4 options for Diaw.

 

[franklin]

Same play except Diaw cuts behind the defense to post up...

And Hayward and Gobert set the double pin down on Korver

Our second unit is stagnant as hell. The Detroit model is working well when healthy. Lyles has been shooting like crap but his play is still noticeably affecting the outcome. He is the weak starting link, which is a good thing.

Cuz when he starts hitting...

Lyles has been shooting like crap but his play is still noticeably affecting the outcome. .

Lyles ORPM is -2, 69/91 among PFs.

I do love me some TreyMamba, but his overall impact on offense is not positive so far this year.

 

[zbone]

Andy Larsen must be going ape **** over the fact that defenses clearly don't respect Hill's shooting abilities.

 

[Jazz4ever]

Andy Larsen must be going ape **** over the fact that defenses clearly don't respect Hill's shooting abilities.

In this instance it's a cross court pass directly over two defenders. Schroeder can safely cheat a little here.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Andy Larsen must be going ape **** over the fact that defenses clearly don't respect Hill's shooting abilities.

Yeah but if you pass it to George at this moment, Schroeder is going to run at him for a closeout. You pass it to Exum (if he was in George's spot) and Schroeder is going to turn around and look for the rebound.

I was thinking about how much some of us(myself included) have criticized Snyder's coaching at times (particularly last year). Now it seems we have the pieces that can make it work. It's been a joy to watch this season, particularly when Hill and Hayward have played. I feel like I'm watching the old glory days Spurs at times. We keep this up and I could see Hayward, Gobert and Hill all making the All Star Team and who knows what else. All I know is nobody is going to want to play us in the playoffs.

 

[LifeOnaPlate]

Franklin, come over to my house to watch a game with me.

Hayward and Gobert have a shot.
Hill would have to beat out the incumbents (cp3, westbrook, lillard, steph, etc) don't think hill can do it.

Hayward has kahwi, harden, klay, wiggins, etc.... though I think Hayward might get there.

Gobert should make this team with this level of play though his raw box score stats won't be at the level of the brow, demarcus cousins, gasol, etc and that might screw him out of the spot he deserves.

 

[franklin]

Hill recognizes all the space and uses a quick step to dive to the bucket.

Look at Gobert and Diaw's heads, reading and reacting.

Dish to Gobert who got the monster Jam. Notice Diaw's new position for transition defense.

Hill sets a brilliant pass off screen for Rudy.

Very next play, same thing.

Hill again sees the clearing and dives.

They adjusted for the Gobert dunk, adjusting late and giving Hill space.

Easy two, that Hill misses.

Wing option. Again Hill recognizes the spacing and starts diving to the rim. Defense adjusts so we get a DHO to Hood and another passing screen by Hill.

Hood makes a bad decision on this one, but look at those double down screens by Lyles and Gobert being set up for Joe. Lyles could slip that as well for an easy two (not likely though).

 

[franklin]

The Lyles option.

Lyles screens and then gets a screen from Gobert.

His man is now beat and Lyles reads where help comes from.

So he reverses directions and uses Gobert as a screen while Hood could be wide open in the corner.

Easy inside push shot ended the possession.
