The Latest Offensive Trends NBA Teams Love

NBA teams are always trying out new concepts and plays, and I take a look at some newer trends that have become more popular among coaches. I highlight the Warriors, Jazz, and Heat in particular. Steve Kerr and Erik Spoelstra are always coming up with new ideas.

man... spoelstra and kerr are like basketball soulmates haha finding ways of just turning the floor into triangles for handoffs to shooters in infinite combos. bet they're having so much fun with team usa.... brad stevens too. those three dudes are like mind melded.

[@PanzehVideos]

The DHO to make non-shooting bigs less of a liability on offense is a nice facet, and I think also a little bit of a counter to the emphasiss on moving screens in officiating, where ball handlers have more leeway to make contact.

[@jeebs9]

Didn't even watch it. But already hit the like button. I've been wondering where you been!

[@mvp_angel]

Bro glazing💀

[@cottonmouth6369]

It’s the off season where we lick our wounds

[@eazymoneydbooker5957]

He got a job in the league

[@icecold1811]

He got a job working for the Dallas mavericks

[@Nagstersept109868]

Great video. Very informative. I’ll be looking for these types of plays this year.

[@nick-ky7ql]

Never thought coach Daniel would be back 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@0401412740]

Dallas started losing when they let go of him

[@petershen7949]

I love watching your breakdowns! I hate it when people say that NBA is all isolation.

[@tylergoldingmagic]

same here! Daniel and Get Gooder at Basketball are my favs

[@danielmcchesney301]

Love this!!! So good!! I love these insights and learning about new offensive concepts in the NBA. Helps me enjoy the games even more when I am watching so good!

[@theimpeccable1069]

I try to be a basketball analyst watching great plays & break downs.. Yoo.. This was great to watch and maybe implement into the Middle Schools & AAU's. Nice job with the details! 💯💯💯

[@adityavarshney6690]

That second one is so smart. The defensive big is always in drop, so it's an open shot each time. Plus the Heat have guys like Lowry who can burn you for going over the screen.

[@nevfelix]

This was sick. My first time on your channel. This made me wanna learn more about the coaching and tactics. ❤fire . Thanks , also subbed

[@6Hustles]

Awww man my guy is back. One of the best bb breakdown channels ever.

[@ben767fun]

love the content and having you back coach !

[@gitzer1254]

Good to see you’re doing breakdowns/plays again after your mavericks stint.

[@ohhmyjesus]

He was working for the mavs this season?

[@k3rb3r96]

Brooo this is such a nice concept for a video 🔥 Showcases how the game evolves constantly :D

[@mateuszfilipiak2057]

Hey Dan, you do such a great work! I miss your content, hope to see more of it this season. All the best!

[@itsgalf]

Good video as always. Thanks for the breakdowns!

[@edcampbell8176]

Nice breakdown! Keep up the good work!

[@EtiandroRosa]

Masterful lesson! 👏🏿 🔥

[@shivangbisht3250]

Great video Coach. Brad Steven's "Winner" is one of my fav plays although ironically GSW lost both times they ran it

[@Jackson33miller]

Beautiful basketball…poetry in motion. I especially love the DHO against camped big men. Makes me wonder how effective guys like Gobert and Lopez can still be. I think their elite rim protection still makes them net positive but versatility is more important than ever

[@StephNoh]

Awesome video!

[@spacejamgaming]

Welcome back!!! ❤️

[@frost9239]

Ez sub, great breakdown

[@BoolatGuzairov]

Good to see you back, coach!

[@watchalotadunks]

I love these videos

[@ttam1217]

You should take a look at how OKC set up the floor after opponent FTs last season. I think you’ll like it. Can see more teams copying it this upcoming season. Love your stuff!

[@karcartv4450]

The double drag screen is effective because it forces the defense to make quick decisions and rotations. If executed well, it can create scoring opportunities not only for the ball handler but also for the rolling big men and perimeter shooters, making it a versatile and challenging play to defend. NBA teams often use variations of this play to exploit defensive weaknesses and create open shots for their players.

[@quercus_opuntia]

Bro I was just on a Coach Daniel binge and then this new banger comes out, hell yeah man

[@iXiuxe717]

Love this

[@ballinboxer3676]

Great breakdown

[@ChefLord95]

The king returns!

[@FakeGrassCarpet]

Great video 🏆

[@anthelcanilao4979]

Sorry coach I'm late. I hit like before watching though. Hope this is a complete comeback.

[@ND-pe9zg]

great vid

[@daaavid666]

Pure gold

[@stevenmoussa8590]

Elite video.

[@benw7367]

4:02 nice "save"

[@coachdaniel8163]

Oh man, how the hell did they miss that

[@joebigs862]

is the screen by Looney from 0:55-1:10 not considered a moving screen? new to basketball, so trying to better understand the strategy and rules

[@viperstrike0]

Amazing video. you mind doing a video on the bulls defence? ive heard they are a good defensive team but i dont see it as a layman.

[@omeralikhan5697]

welcome back coach!

[@dereksimmons5877]

Bro can tell you're out here bloodthirsty. This content has got to be worth a job with a nba team. Top tier.

[@ChrisGaert]

The GOAT is back!

[@joshsteele28]

@coachdaniel8163 the double drag variant in the first clip is called horns chest or drag chest around the league. The nets were the first team I recall running it frequently back in the 13-14 season. It started with the 4 & 5 as screeners but during that season they also started putting guards like Joe Johnson as a screener.

[@marcr196]

The suns last year ran double drag a bunch at the end of games. With the combo of Beal, Booker, and Durant, I bet they'll run it even more, given that they could mix and match each of the three at different roles in the action.

[@DrProfessorWeed]

I would call it double drag Iverson because one of the screeners essentially does an Iverson cut.

[@d-rose27]

Very interesting

[@jacksonnnnnn]

That drag screen wrinkle is devastating teams need to be on the same page to guard that

[@zachk2712]

The man’s back?!?

[@the19trier]

for more X&Os, NBA can experiment 4-point and 5-point lines to see how much fun it can be!

[@actrue9712]

Wish I could do some of these actions in 2k. I can find similar ones through the quick actions. I like to play real so tic

[@Fatass14ification]

Babe wake up. Coach Daniel just uploaded again

[@steveal8264]

I know Klay hit the shot by that pass by Jerome was fucking beautiful

[@devvv4616]

please do videos on team usa now with Kerr and Spoelstra coaching and the players seem to buy in to their roles

[@SoloPerICommenti]

Daniel, but what happens if having the center on the perimeter is defended the way the Warriors defended Sabonis in the first round, denying the handoff with the perimeter defender and having center protecting the paint? Why that defense was so effective?

[@coachdaniel8163]

Good question. The main difference there is GSW was able to deny those handoffs on the Kings set plays when they were more predictable. The Heat were using the handoffs after a drive or a skip pass which makes it much tougher to then deny Bam's handoff.

[@TheTMSxGaming]

As a Heat fan, in the case when the hand off is denied for Bam, because of his comfort in the midrange he’s able to get a shot up or make a play deeper at the foul line

[@sexy13ITCH0000]

“Now morant can turn the corner” 😅 not sure thats really the shot they want 2:16

[@kcross4293]

So basically the rest of the NBA has finally caught on to the plays the Warrior’s have running for the past decade

[@kartikayrai5774]

Wake up babe, Coach Daniel posted

[@DCIphanatic]

You should do a video on Joe Mazzulas favorite set plays Btw that play obviously has a name, its the super-double-high-2nd-man-flare-screen....duh

[@adriandarmika2314]

What's up Daniel, it's me Adrian from Indonesia. You still with Dallas?

[@maartenvz]

Ben Simmons is taking notes on this dho action. Now he just needs to find a coach who will play him. Maybe Miami could work, perfect backup for adebayo

[@JetEnduro10]

can somebody explain why at 5:14 Gabe Vincent didnt call for a travel?

[@JetEnduro10]

5:12 I mean

[@chieflancewaiters7034]

@@JetEnduro10it looks like he only took a gather and then two steps after stopping his dribble

[@bagbroch9339]

Ha that 2nd play on here for Klay is a staple. They run it as SLOB end of game all the time. It’s amazing how often it works. Even in playoff series. Guys see the initial form and like, don’t react to Klay being up top instead of someone else and don’t adjust. Over and over Edit: ha! Same play on the 4th play. It works SO often! Getting caught on this late in a playoff series really shows the Steph gravity effect in action. He destroys all principles including “never leave Klay” haha I’m just some dude and I can see this coming now when klays in the double drag now bcuz they almost never don’t run this if he’s up top. And it’s very obvious haha I mean they get it in game winners! 😂

[@ripstein86]

Are these screens considered legal now?

[@curtiszyr]

Heat 🔥

[@AgentDave34]

Thanks for coming out of retirement (we're you playing minor league baseball?) Keep em coming

[@deandrepage1048]

This video is why I am glad the Lakers GM rejected shot-blocker Bismack Biyombo in favor of 37.6% for 3-pointers off 4.2 attempts per game Center Christian Wood. Double Drag Ballscreen with the 2nd ballscreener receiving a Flare Screen or go under the screen to opposite wing for catch & shoot 3-pointers.

[@billma12345]

Is the draymond to curry DHO too OP?

[@MrThegster123]

I’d implement these in my men’s league, but all those lazy bastards play 2-3 zone. good stuff buddy

[@consideration8881]

What's going on Coach Daniel

[@cg1885]

All have been GSW staples

[@Realserg]

Are you still working for the nba

[@MFEChaudronnerie]

The second concept with the big make the DHO is kind of Blind Pig ?

[@coachdaniel8163]

Sort of yeah.

[@hotsauce0606]

Nobody puts bam in a corner

[@colehersey12]

completely read the title wrong

[@jonjeffers5153]

Kind of like blind pig but with a skip pass and a 3.

[@rpra6435]

when i see new ways to shoot 3 pointers - i stop watching rest of it ... i am soo done with 3s all the time. of course i have nothing against people who like this kind of basketball. if you like it - i am happy that you like basketball. i just do not like it personally. i wish basketball rules again be set to promote more low post play - as it is all becauase how rules are set and how referees do their job and not because coaches play certain way. example how rules make everything happen and not coaches: if you will change rule for again 2 free throws (not 3 like it is now from some time) for foul when shooting 3 pointer as it was in the past - this one rule will make coaches change their playing style. why ? because defenders will be able to defend 3 pointers with more agression as in the end ... you will lose "2 points and 1" not "3 and 1". i could post more example how certain rules promote certain playing style (example numer 2 - some of today dribbling would be not allowed in the past - why - because nba wants to promote smaller faster players and allowed them to carry ball in the way that was not allowed in the past) ... (really there is plenty of examples ...). soo i am always laughing how much people think this is because coaches do something. this is because nba wants rules to be set in certain way.

[@marcr196]

I don't think making 3's worth only two free throws would be worth much. Most 3 point shooters are very good free throw shooters. A three point attempt that ends up being fouled would end up averaging 1.8 points if they are an 80% free throw shooter, which is still ridiculously efficient. Its not the player or coach's fault that the 3 pointer has become so important, its the math behind it combined with increased practice creating better 3 point shooters. Basically the only way to reduce perimeter play is to make 3 point percentage go down by moving the three point line back. I am in favor of expanding the floor width so that corner 3s still exist, but where they are as far as current above-the-break 3s are. Coaches can then weigh the importance of guarding more mediocre shooters, while elite shooters still provide the spacing for drives. It also could incentivize more inside-out style of play a la Hakeem's rockets given the extra distance anyone who doubled the player in the post would have to recover to a shooter to.

[@solliskuxxswag]

copy cat league! more teams should run this
