This is a favorite of GSW. We will likely see a lot of this. This thread should get big. hopefully 5 Out Motion -- 21 Double Drag SMALL BALL ALERT Harden Gordon Brewer Dekker Montrezl I left Audio on, so you can hear Harden call out the defense NOP uses ICE defense on the side PnR. (Listen carefully as Harden yells out ICE -- icey, icey, icey. Sometimes you will hear the opponent big yell out Blue to tell his guard he's zoning behind, so turn his man baseline.) Harden converts to 21 Double Drag action with Gordon Gordon attacks -- boy he's fast around that corner and to the hole Montrezl cleans up the missed layup
5 Out Motion -- Ignored! Gordon with the green light to attack while defense is trying set up for a 5-Out Set. What? He's attacking like three defenders.
Double Drag (Rejected) Flare 4 Had trouble deciding on naming this play "Rejected" or "Decoy". I chose to say Harden rejected the Double Drag, and we went to Option 2 (Flare 4), but it might have just been a planned decoy, knowing the defense would Ice Harden so strongly to the baseline. Regardless, this shows the power of the Double Drag for Harden in 5-out motion. Here's a devastating Ryno option off threat of Double Dragging Harden into the middle -- Open 3 or Attack. This also shows how defenses overplay Harden to try to keep him away from the middle at all cost. Harrell sets a screen-the-screener for Ryno Ryno goes to set first of double drag screens for Harden Strong Ice D baselines Harden, so Harden has to reject the first Option Play converts to a Flare 4 Harrell give Ryno a Flare screen
