Reggie Miller just said Triangle is the same as Princeton

90% of what comes out of Reggie's mouth is nonsense, 100% of it is annoying because of his voice and how he thinks everything he says is important / of value and the only truth. Doesn't surprise me, his sister is the same and everybody on TNT is full of themselves except for Barkley who may seem that way but is just funny and kind of a fool. I wish the guy would be more like his persona on Open Court, he's actually much better in those discussions except when he thinks he's right about certain legends.

 

Having watched Reggie play in college and in the pros, I can understand that all offenses might be alike to him. After all, the primary goal of any offense was to get him a shot. But he was good. And he kept getting better. Nobody ever coined the term "best off-the-ball isolation player" but they should have, for Reggie.

 

It is the same offense. Basically a flex/passing offense. The only difference is adelman has been more receptive to adjusting if his pgs are good(bibby-porter) vs phil who hasn't. They both have the same bones.

 

Okay forget about how I phrased it. My point was, all offenses force the defense to make decisions and try to exploit the defensive weakness resulted from the decisions. This is the similarity shared by all good offenses, including Princeton and Triangle. The dissimilarities lie in HOW they achieve that.

Anyway, I totally get what you were trying to say and do not disagree. My original comment was that the ONLY similarity between Princeton and Triangle was multiple options. That was true and did not contradict your original point.

 

So you don't know basketball. Look heyp, the triangle and princeton offense is basic flex/passing offense. Both offenses use a series of triangles,ucla cuts and such. Go look at the "princeton" ran by eddie jordan in washington vs the one ran by adelman with the kings vs the triangle ran by phil in chicago and u will see a lot of similarities. The rub downs,double downs and such. Go watch webber and vlade operate high post and watch gasol with phil,its the same. If you can't see that, then I dunno what to say.

 

I truly miss how beautiful our offense was under Adelman. Everybody got the ball we were winning with team ball.

 

Reggie with a highlight reel of stupid **** said in the 1st half.

MFW? Harden didn't play many minutes when he first came in the league, if you actually watched basketball you would know K Mart is not a distributor in any sense of the word.

Houston was a winning team the last 3 years, and he was on some nice Sacramento teams, even hitting a game-winner V. the Spurs in the playoffs once.

Not necessarily wrong in any way, but damn that sounded stupid.
