In a recent episode of the Mind the Game podcast with LeBron James, Steve Nash, and Stephen Curry, the Triangle and Pinch Post — or Post-to-Pass — play was described.
Let’s Go to Festus
Steve Nash: “The Post-to-Pass — I think it’s important for the casual fan to understand — why is the Post-to-Pass interesting, because you’re not saying ‘Let’s go to Festus here.'”
Triangle = Pinch Post = Post-to-Pass = Chicago Screen = Controlled Chaos
LeBron James: “It’s the same thing the Bulls were doing in the 90’s, when they’d throw the ball into Luc Longley at times, and now the other action starts happening.
Chicago Screen — the Pinch Post — and MJ (Michael Jordan) can come off of it, Scottie Pippen can come off of it.
It’s the same kind of concept that they were doing it was just called The Triangle. So like you said as soon as the ball goes into the post, action begins — controlled chaos. But those guys know exactly what is going on — we’re just trying to get the chain to move on the defense. When you have threats on the floor at all times it can disorient the defense.”
While watching Cavs-Warriors highlights:
Steph Curry: “Is that you guarding Draymond?”
Steve Nash: “We’ve got a few of them.”
LeBron James: “Yeah. I completely—”
SC: “This is the happiest I’ve ever been watching this game.” 😆
