A couple of quick bits...
That’s why this set, the corner set, is a huge reason Miami scores more points per possession than any other team in the league (.943).
In half-court offense alone.
The HEAT needed to be able to manufacture good opportunities without relying on ball-handling creation.
“It’s important for us to have continuity, rhythm offense where everybody is involved,” Erik Spoelstra said. “When we get stagnant, we go to that, and there are a lot of reads. Guys can use their IQ, they can help each other, they can make the game easier for each other.”
Think of the corner, Spoelstra’s version of the famed triangle offense, as a simplified version of a run-blocking scheme. The offensive line sets up to push the defense in a particular direction, but it’s always up to the running back which manufactured gap he’s going to hit. Once the handoff is made, it’s up to the back to read how the defense has been manipulated.

This was on the ESPN sidenotes after the Kings game:
The Kings spent almost the entire first half trying to contain the Heat's potent half-court offense in a zone. On paper, that was a solid game plan to slow the Heat in the half court. Miami scored on 42.4 percent of possessions against zone defenses entering Tuesday. However, Miami torched Sacramento's zone, scoring on 61.8 percent of possessions.
Heat Half-Court Offense vs Zone, 2011-12
-------- 1st 32 Gms -- Tuesday
Poss/Gm --- 5.8 ----- 34
PPP --- 0.91 ----- 1.38
FG pct --- 42.9 ------- 65.4
eFG pct ---48.0 ----- 75.0
All in all, I like what we're doing to get better shots and easier baskets.
less iso!!! and definitely SPO has somethin to do with that
