Triangle Offense 

Post#1 » by Gutter92 » Sat May 31, 2008 6:46 pm

Hi guys

I'm just wondering if anybody can explain a little bit of the triangle offense to me. Are there many set plays for it, or is it more of an improvisational offense? What is the key to making it work? In one of the topics on this board, I read that the missing piece for the Lakers was a big man that could catch the ball well and pass it well.

Just curious, would like to gain a better understanding of it.

Thanks

There are not necessarily set plays, its more that you set up the offense then see how the defense reacts, then you have a series of passes and or cutters to the basket.

You can also see the play diagrams on this website.

Typical RealGM crowd.. how about answering the OP's question in a proper way?

Gutter92 - In a nutshell, this page explains it very well. The Lakers does NOT run a "pure" Triangle offense system, but it is modified to fit each players' strength. It's all about mismatches. Gasol can pass AND hit a jump shot as opposed to Kwame - this is why he fits seamlessly in this offense.

Triple Post Offense 

Post#10 » by large1974 » Sun Jun 1, 2008 10:34 pm

The Triangle dose not have set plays nor dose it have a setup offense. The triangle is based on spacing, defensive recognition. Basicly in a nut shell the offense is designed to react to what the Defense gives you. For instance if the defense is fronting a center (The Post) we use the opisite side of the court to get the center the ball since the defense has taken away the entry pass now the backside pass is open. Here is a link of some girls running the triangle offense.

Well Gutter92 out of all the posters I think only three guys answered it for you.

But your a Spurs fan right ?

Any way the offense is in my opinion is unguardable. I love how everybody think they can shut the offense down.

There is no defense that you can throw at the triangle when it's a read and react offense.

Wikipedia -- The Triangle offense, also known as the Triple-Post offense, is an offensive strategy in basketball. Its basic ideas were initially established by Hall of Fame coach Sam Barry at the University of Southern California, and his system was later refined by former Kansas State University head basketball coach and former Los Angeles Lakers consultant Tex Winter, who played for Barry in the late 1940s.

The system's most important feature is the sideline triangle created between the center, who stands at the low post; the forward, at the wing, and the guard at the corner. The team's other guard stands at the top of the key and the weak-side forward is on the weak-side high post
