Additional Spurs Plays

In today's post, we will look at some other plays that the Spurs run.

Counters

In today's post we will revisit Strong, Weak and Loop to see some of the counters the Spurs use when defenses get used to their regular actions.

Pick and Roll

In today's post, we will look at some of the various pick and roll sets that the Spurs use.

Pick and Roll within the Offense

In today's post, we will look at how the Spurs incorporate pick and rolls within the flow of their offense.

Loop

In today's post we will look at the play called "Loop."

Weak

In today's post we will look at the next action of the offense called "Weak."

Weak begins when the ball handler passes ahead to the strong-side wing. This pass keys several actions:



1.  Ball handler Patrick Mills passes ahead to strong-side wing Manu Ginobili.
- Once this pass is made, the ball handler cuts across to the weak-side of the floor (hence the term "Weak") and the strong-side wing looks for the pass.  Here, Ginobili perfectly threads the needle and hits Mills in stride for an easy layup.

Strong

In this post, we will look at the play called "Strong"

Each number represents a pass.

1. Richard Jefferson passes ahead to Tony Parker:
- Parker pushes the ball ahead as the "ball handler."
- Kawhi Leonard fills the "strong-side wing"
- while Jefferson moves to the "weak-side wing"
- DeJuan Blair fills the "post" position
- Tim Duncan fills the "trailer"
