Actually, Shaq's presence made it easier to run rather than "dumbed-down" because the triangle suits big men and shooters. The version Phillip ran in Chi (and somewhat in L.A. now) had to be "tweaked" because it lacked that post presence. If anything, it was just another "wrinkle" in the triangle that you can run out of the triangle offense altogether. |
Agree, LB. The tri is so good, because it maximizes abilities of your players. With Shaq it was rather "simplified" tri, conducted from a low post, instead of pinch post or elbow (traditional tri). Shaq was feeding cutters or kicking it out from the deep post as well as it has been done from the elbow...
With Shaq running the tri from 15' out would be really funny, though. Shaq is a real threat 15' out  |
