    They are doing a breakdown of each playoff teams favorite plays so I thought it was pretty neat to see them break down ours.

    They have a break down with pictures for it in the link below

    Just to be clear, the vast majority of the clips that were used in that compilation are not flare sets -- the Rockets are just taught to set flare screens when the opportunity presents itself.

    0:20 is the Rockets being opportunistic out of "Chin"
    0:43 is the Rockets being opportunistic out of "Loop"
    0:53 is an actual Flare set, see http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=7858129&postcount=120
    1:00 again is the Rockets being opportunistic out of "Loop"
    1:39 is the Rockets version of the Heat's High Pick&Roll Chest, which is a high&pick with the screener coming off a flare screen as the first option.

    The Bobcats play looks like it may been drawn up in the huddle during a timeout. The other possessions are just 'random', though.

    That oop to Parsons @ :20 is a spicy meat-a-ball!
