    I used to go to nbaplaybook.com from time to time, but now it seems that the author of the blog has been hired by the Thunders and the website is not accessible anymore. Any similar websites out there that does this kind of break downs of basketball plays?

    You looking for serious analysis of plays (accompanied by videos) or just blogs that discuss the NBA in general?

    http://www.youtube.com/user/bballbreakdown/videos?view=0 Guy has some Mr. Know-It-All tendencies and he is a bit of an attention w****, but overall the he good outweigh the bad with him, IMO.

    http://www.grantland.com/feed?name=zach+lowe One of the better basketball minds

    http://coachingulive.com/pod/

    http://www.youtube.com/user/nbaplaybook?feature=results_main NBAplaybook youtube channel - probably won't be updated, but there's still some good stuff on there

    I might upload a video or two every now and then as well: http://www.youtube.com/user/99nmrasdf/videos?view=0

    I'll second bballbreakdown. Unfortunately, Coach Nick is a huge Lakers fan, so his focus doesn't really extend to every team in the league. But his breakdowns are awesome.

    I am looking for some serious in depth analysis of set plays by different teams. I don't need to go to a blog for general discussions of the NBA when I can find it here. :)

    And thanks to all for suggestions. I will definitely check these out.

    This is my favorite site.

    What Morey has to say about their annual book:

    "Anyone who reads what Brad and Kevin have put together cannot help but come out a smarter fan on the other end. Basically, if you consider yourself a basketball fan and you are not reading this book, then you ought to turn in your serious fan credentials."

    - Daryl Morey, general manager, Houston Rockets

    Go the "durvasa" profile and check his signature. It has many great basketball reference sites that I and many others use every day. It is great analysis. And one can get the stats to make your own analysis along with game evidence.
