Why the Hawks Offense is Special

[drk3351]

Hey Hawks fans. I made a breakdown video analyzing their offense and how it is so effective. Let me know what you think of their offense and thanks for watching.

So,,,apparently Bud has been making plans eh?  interesting..

It's basically unstoppable. People think we're a jump-shooting team. We just use it to open up layups.

When everyone can run all day, everyone down to the 168-pounder is setting screens, and every player is a good or better passer at their position, you don't even have to be a good outside shooter as evidenced by the many Thabo misses in the video. Just...

1. Demoralize defense by getting open looks from perimeter in half court sets

2. Observe paint openings and mismatches appear

3. Lay or dunk shot the ball in the hoop

4. Enjoy timeout and crowd excitement/ silence

5. Repeat.

Great video.

They rely on each other, they play for each other, they  trust each other, they have strong team chemistry, they have coach bud, they have danny ferry, they play hardcore team defense, they execute on offense, i can list more of their recipes in success but at the end of day its all about team basketball and winning. There's definitely something special happening in Atlanta.

 

Really good video by the way!

Good video. Dare I say, perhaps even a little bit beautiful.

[LamarHampton]

Nice breakdown. Much appreciated!

Ferry is a psychologist to be able to collect the personalities and Bud a master to get them to buy in to it. And now that it's established a new guy or two can be added. Gotta wonder if that's why Payne was traded. Didn't fit into the system

Without our shooters, (Kyle, Sap and DMC) we are primarily a PnR and backdoor cuts and layups team. Then again, we have our shooters so have have a lot of flexibility.

You must read the quoted post as if Kenny Rogers were singing it. Uh huh

I tried to teach my work basketball team the beauty of the away from the ball double screen, but those guys were too hardheaded and didn't want to play together.  They were way too worried about who was getting shots and who wasn't.  Should've won the basketball league, but ended up losing in the semifinals.

Lol, that's why it may not be easy for other teams to implement, it requires a TOTAL but in to the system. Edited March 9, 2015 by JayBirdHawk

Oh I didn't think you ignored it. I just couldn't help but hear that song in my head when I started reading your response to him.

I know it's funny how it can have an affect on you.  I found myself trying to set more screens to open up shooters and playing less selfishly from watching good Hawks ball this season.  The Coach Bud effect even trickling all the way down to my playground skills.

Bud truly will borrow from anyplace. I was surprised there was an "Iverson Cut" play, although I know everyone in the Spurs organization sees Larry Browm as a mentor. In Billy Knight's immortal words "the sh$t works"
