Basketball Lessons and Being Scared of Women

[cajunhornetsbayou]

I feel like some of you that dont know basketball very well need a series of lessons to bring you near my level of knowledge. Consider it a major gift especially you females on the site. You can now act like you know something about basketball after reading this:

Todays lesson is the 4 different ways to defend ball screens:

1. Switching on a ball screen - This is commonly used with younger teams, but not as much on college or pro teams. It is typically only used when you have a lineup of similar size players that can guard all 5 players, or against a team like Duke where there are really no defined positions in the offense and all 5 guys play the perimeter. Some coaches like to give a changeup look and switch every screen

2. Hedging a Screen - The most common practice among college and pro teams. This involves the defender of the man setting a screen stepping out high to stop the man with ball until the defender guarding the ball is able to get above the screen and back in position. The defender of the screen setter keeps a hand on the screen setter in case of a slip or a roll.

3. Making a one with the screener - This involves the man guarding the screen setter to get as close as possible to his man in order for the on ball defender to go under the screen. This practice is used against guards who are not great shooters. If you go under a ball screen against a good shooter you will get embarrassed.

4. Blitzing a screen - In this defense, everytime a ball screen is set the on ball defender and the screen setter defender both trap the man with the ball. This is done against good penetrating point guards like DJ Augustin or Chris Paul so they will give up the ball away from the basket. The other players need to be aware and rotate in order to guard the screener once he rolls.

Remember the first step in guarding a ball screen is good communication. You should always tell the man being screened which side he is being screened on. This allows him to prepare for whatever defensive mechanism the coach has told you to do before the game. Hope you enjoyed your lesson for today. I will be back tomorrow for tomorrow's lesson.

What is a screen? I thought that is a devise to keep bugs out of your house.

[FromWayDowntown]

Honestly, I have no idea how this forum survived before this guy decided to magnanimously impart his knowledge of basketball here. I remember when nobody could figure out how a team's points were determined. Now we're actually talking about hedging (David Robinson might have been the best in the last 20 years or so at hedging screens) and blitzing ball screens (the Spurs did this to Pargo in the 2nd quarter last night and completely destroyed his rhythm)!?!?!

Evolution, man.

You can know act like you know something after learning this

R.I.F. Reading is Fundamental.

Stay in school and maybe someday you'll be able to move up to the books without pictures.

[duncan228]

While we appreciate your generosity in helping us learn, I think your basketball knowledge would be better served if you left here and started your own forum. Then you could educate the masses and we could stay happily in our own little uneducated forum. After all, if Kori could do it and she's...a woman...imagine what you could do. :)

[Dex]

How do I score a home run?

one of the better cut and paste jobs I've seen...

grammatically correct, concise, good spacing between paragraphs.

You might want to send this to the hornets afterwards. :lmao

Hmmm...someone's been watching their "Better Basketball" DVD, eh??? :lol

[Parkerlooms]

Hey mouse why do you have a map of Alaska as your avatar? I thought you were supposed to be from New Orleans, the bayou and all that.

[justanotherspursfan]

How do I score a home run?

You have to cross-check the ball to the tight end.

[FromWayDowntown]

By the way, the notion that switching a ball screen is not a commonly-used tactic by NBA defenses is laughable.

And why is there no discussion of going under the screen? I mean, you want this to be a complete lesson, don't you?

It's supposed to be some sort of poor joke. Texas is big, but Alaska is bigger, or something.

[Parkerlooms]

It's supposed to be some sort of poor joke. Texas is big, but Alaska is bigger, or something.

oh. ok. Thats pretty lame. Why not just put a picture of the moon there or something. Its bigger than Texas, too. Or the Sun, or the Andormeda Galaxy. Or maybe China.

WTH does Alaska have to do with anything...

[Darcus]

Well, I think he's trying to compare states to states. But all he's really doing is making a fool of Hornets fans.

[cajunhornetsbayou]

And why is there no discussion of going under the screen? I mean, you want this to be a complete lesson, don't you?

It is. I mentioned the technique of making a one with the screener and the guy guarding the ball goes underneath. You need to learn reading comprehension

[cajunhornetsbayou]

oh. ok. Thats pretty lame. Why not just put a picture of the moon there or something. Its bigger than Texas, too. Or the Sun, or the Andormeda Galaxy. Or maybe China.

I have heard numerous Texas people say that Texas is still the biggest state, when in fact Alaska is bigger. Just a reminder to all you Texas people in denial

[cajunhornetsbayou]

I hope your basketball knowledge exceeds your skill with the English language.

Sorry for the typo

[cajunhornetsbayou]

one of the better cut and paste jobs I've seen...

I wrote this myself. I didnt cut and paste from anywhere.

[justanotherspursfan]

I wrote this myself.

Did your teacher take off points for not using topic sentences, or have you not gotten to that unit yet?

[cajunhornetsbayou]

Did your teacher take off points for not using topic sentences, or have you not gotten to that unit yet?

Its a message board. I really dont care about grammar. I care about sports. If this was a proper english board, then I would care. You would fit in really well on a proper english board. At least better than this sports board

I sure did Cheryl. Do you have any questions after reading it? If you dont know what a "screen" is or what the "screener" is let me know. I might have to go back to the very basics for some of you ladies.

[Dex]

Apparently this guy has lost one too many basketball games to 'you ladies'.

[Kriz-Maxima]

All I want to know is when they are going back to the short-shorts.


Finally, someone willing to ask the important questions.

[cajunhornetsbayou]

Apparently this guy has lost one too many basketball games to 'you ladies'.

Why would I play ladies in basketball? If I want to see missed layups and people dribbling off their foot I will turn on a WNBA game.

[HornetGumboBalls]

Cajun, do you just absolutely love the new WNBA commercials where they basically say everything every guy and non-dike woman say about women's basketball? I find them hillarious. I didn't think those heffers knew we thought that way.

[justanotherspursfan]

That's right, when you dribble it's down your chin. After you've just made yourself $20 on Bourbon Street.

I find it amusing that this guy's opening sentence contains multiple typo's yet his basketball lesson contains none.

I totally believe that he wrote it though, and I for one, feel much more informed about the game of basketball.

Your take on why the Spurs won these last 2 games, says otherwise.

[dbreiden83080]

The series is 2-2. I wouldn't get too cocky

It is going to be a good next few games but in the big spot Spurs are going to be awful tough to beat. Duncan is now healthy, Manu and Tony are playing well, we are now hitting our open shots. Scott needs a major adjustment for game 5, same game plan and NO is going to get beat.

I'm a writer/editor, and your opening paragraph is lousy - especially the punctuation. However, your 4 points are quite coherent and well-written. Consequently, it's clear that you are capable of doing a pretty good cut-and-paste job. On the other hand, I'd like to know who actually wrote it.

By the way, I'm a woman - and I figured that out all by myself. :rolleyes

"THE 4 different ways to defend ball screens"?

There are more than 4. You failed to list where the player defending the ball goes over the top of the screen while the defender of the screener, never losing sight of the ball, keeps enough space to provide a choice for the ball defender or quickly become the primary basket defender. A sag, if you will.

I didn't really care about the opening paragraph. I was much more concerned with the points about covering ball screens. I wrote it myself. The sooner you realize that the easier it will be for you people. I know that women are good at English. My grandmother was an English teacher and used to help edit my papers in middle school. I know you know English, but your basketball knowledge isn't on the same level as mine.

The sooner you realize that the easier it will be for you people. I know that women are good at English. My grandmother was an English teacher and used to help edit my papers in middle school. I know you know English, but your basketball knowledge isn't on the same level as mine.

Well, then why don't I use the English that you'll understand? Eat shit and die.

[cajunhornetsbayou]

There has been a lot of discussion in this series about whether to double Tim Duncan or not. I figured I would take todays lesson as an opportunity to discuss everything that goes into doubling the post.

When a coach decides to double a man in the post, he has quite a few decisions to make. One of which is when to double.

Typically it is done at two points. Either when the post player catches the ball, or when he puts the ball on the ground aka dribbles the ball. If it is done right away, it is called a quick double.

Another decision that needs to be made is how tough the double team is. Are they trying to just make the post player feel the presence of two players, or are they trying hard to make him get rid of the ball right away. The first option listed is called a soft double and the second one is called a hard double.

The third decision is who to double off of. Different players are used depending on the personnel on the other team. One option is a big to big double. This is where the other post player comes from the other block (or wherever the other post player is at) to double. A quick rotation is needed from away from the ball down to the block in order to prevent a quick block-to-block pass, which would result in an easy layup.
Another option, which is probably, the most commonly used involves doubling down off the nearest perimeter player. In this scenario, no matter who the nearest perimeter player is, the perimeter defender doubles down and everybody rotates over leaving the farthest perimeter player away open.
A third scenario involves doubling off of one specific perimeter player. This is done if you know one player is a really poor perimeter shooter. He is left open on the perimeter and is challenged to knockdown the outside shot. If he cuts, he of course needs to be picked up.
A final option involves a combination of the previous two where it is known certain players can’t be doubled off of like a Peja type player, and some people can be left open to go down a double.

Just like ball screens, communication is key in rotating out of the double teams and closing out on the shooters. This is something that hopefully the hornets can correct for game 5. Hope you enjoyed your lesson today, especially you ladies out there.

[FromWayDowntown]

I have no idea how I've managed to enjoy basketball before being advised of these principles.

[ElNono]

Then there's the Hornets double-team, where rotations get all screwed up and you leave the Spurs two best perimeter shooters wide open.

[SAGambler]

I would like to know about the "shove it up your ass" double team, whereby the man being doubled turns to the goal, slams it down while being fouled by either one or both of he men supposedly "doubling him" for an "and one".

Please elaborate on this.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

I'm sorry, but this is totally lame. This is no more than you'd get from any decent analyst (like a Hubie or van Gundy), and he'd say it faster, and you'd still understand it. Geez.

What would be interesting is to discuss what the Hornets have been doing and if and how they need to adjust.

The obvious change would be to double on the bounce rather than the catch. My opinion is that Duncan would destroy this, racking up fouls and points and assists. He is very familiar with this scheme.

The only thing that has seemed to work even some on Tim is to mix it up so he doesn't know what's coming. I don't know if the Hornets are experienced enough and well-coached enough to do this. I doubt they've practiced anything this complicated.

Sage is always too dark, unless you use a lot of natural lighting, in my opinion. It definitely comes across as too dark with your typical walnut stain finish. I would try something more in the spectrum of olive (glossy, not drab).

[cajunhornetsbayou]

I have been talking so much defense, I figured I would discuss something on the offensive end today. I am going to discuss a few different things about the quickest form of offense aka the fast break.

First off the best way to start a fast break, besides a steal, is with a rebound and an outlet pass. A long rebound allows a guard to get a head start for the fast break. When a player gets a rebound near the goal he needs to chin it (protect the ball under his chin), pivot and find the nearest outlet man. Outlet men should be vocal so the rebounder can find them.

Once the outlet man, typically a point guard, gets the ball, he needs to get to the middle of the court in order to open up the running lanes on either side of the court. If run correctly it creates a 3 on 1 or 3 on 2 fast break, forcing the top or closest defender to pick a side. Defensively the most effective way to stop a 2 on 1 fast break is to jab at the person with the ball and force him to make a decision of pass or shoot. If he picks up his dribble, you allow other defenders to get back on defense.

One thing very tough to teach is the secondary break. The other players not involved in the primary break need to run as trailers to the middle of the line, or find an open spot on the perimeter to spot up for a shot. It is a way to get shooters like Peja open looks without running a set for it, or to get a guy like Tyson Chandler an easy bucket by running the floor in the trailer spot. It is done to get open looks before the defense can set up its man or zone defense.

Hope you enjoyed your lesson for today.

Kori added that to my thread title because she is upset with me for making comments about how women dont know sports. I only speak the truth.

[ChumpDumper]

You guys shouldn't be afraid of women.

Women can be quite nice.

Why are you scared of women? Are you scared of being rejected? Maybe the Club can help, so start by making a thread there.

Well then let me help you, you fat dike. Start working out, grow out the man hair you've got going on. Throw away the flannel shirts and levi jeans. Buy A LOT of makeup, and work on making your voice a little higher.

Good luck finding these lessons elsewhere Deb. I know that you have no clue what I am talking about, so you like to dismiss it as cut and paste. Why are you on this board Deb?

I have no problem with the supposed "heat" I have won every argument I have had. It has been no contest in each one. Do you have any basketball knowledge? At lease Kori tries to act like she knows something

Question about your name. I love gumbo as much as the next guy. In fact, I made some the other day, with giant shrimps, alligator sausage, and a few crawfish, and some okra. It was delicious. I live in New Orleans and I never eat restaurant gumbo, no matter how good it is. It's too expensive!

Anyway ... I've never seen a gumbo "ball." What are they, and what are they made from?

[cajunhornetsbayou]

In today’s lesson I will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of some different defenses:

Man to Man – If run correctly it has the potential to be the best defense. Its not as much about guarding your man as it as about the help side D and rotations. If certain things are done correctly like backing into gaps, a good offense can be somewhat neutralized. Just like all defenses, a lot of communication is necessary. It can be hard to stay in man to man if a team is much quicker and the rotation is not quick enough.

2-3 zone or 2-1-2 zone: The most commonly used zone. It is susceptible to 3 pointers on the wing and top of the key. It is the best zone for blocking out and rebounding, because you have 3 players in or near the lane. The way to negate the 3 point shooting is to extend the zone and be more vulnerable near the basket.

1–2-2 or 3-2 zone: It is becoming more commonly seen as a change of pace D in the NBA. The susceptible part in this zone is obviously the middle of the lane. It is good against 3 point shooting teams because it allows you to extend the defense on the shooters. It is also susceptible if the offense works the ball into the corner and overloads one side. It is tough to rotate block to block since the bottom 2 guys are also responsible for the corners.

1-3-1 zone: Typically a trapping zone. It is not really used in the NBA. It is good for smaller scrappy teams trying to get steals. It is typically used against weak ball handling teams. It can be susceptible to open 3’s if the rotation is not quick enough. The traps are obviously the key to this defense. When trapping, some players have a tendency to give weak traps allowing the offensive player to split them and then you are beat. When trapping you want to mirror the ball and try and force a turnover.

Kori if you use this in one of your articles, I want some cash.
