    It's actually pretty clear that he's setting moving picks.

    Does that article fail to mention Pau Gasol and Kobe because they run the Triangle? and to put Collison and Hibbert and Westbrook and Unknown ahead of them = FAIL

    This article is disgusting.

    First and foremost, I hate the Jazz. However, Deron Williams and Al Jefferson will be one of the best pick and roll combo's on the floor at every given night.

    Completely unrelated, but I noticed everybody talking about moving screens. Don't confuse a moving screen with a screen and seal.

    When a big man sets a screen, he needs to roll to the basket. The most effective way to do this is to reverse out of the screen and seal your man, which means the man guarding the ball has to pick either his man or cover the big man rolling to the basket. The reason a screen works so well is only 50% of the screen, the other half is how well the big man seals of his defender when he rolls.

    Amare is a hell of a finisher, but the thing that made him special for me to watch was how he sealed his man after he set the screen. some impressive footwork right there.

    What a terrible list.

    First off, did Tim Duncan die?
    Second, did Dirk Nowitzki die?
    Third, What would TimAYY and Nitwitz think about Blatche at #4 and them not even cracking the list of #12?

    And hold on, how can you put a Rookie at #3 paired with a shoot first 2nd yr PG?

    Lastly, who is Collison and Hibbert? haha

    oh, and is Chris Paul not on that list?

    Proven wrong by a guy who rates the Collison/Hibbert pick and roll as better than the AB/Yao's?

    a good screen from Yao that creates a good look jumper for Brooks just behind the free throw line equals to a 70% shot

    Scola is not anywhere close to the weapon that Yao is capable of being offensively...
