LAKERS NOTEBOOK: Dwight Howard looking forward to 100 percent back recovery, Princeton offense trumps triangle

New season, new offense

The Lakers will try their third offense in as many seasons when they begin training camp today. Most famously, they ran the triangle offense under Phil Jackson, winning five NBA championships in his 11 seasons as their coach.

Sometimes it wasn't clear what they were running in Mike Brown's first season as Jackson's replacement in 2011-12. But that's about to change in Brown's second season, with the introduction of the free-flowing Princeton offense.

Steve Blake, a backup point guard, said he thinks it will be a good fit for the 2012-13 team, having spent two seasons directing it while playing for new Lakers assistant coach Eddie Jordan when both were with the Washington Wizards for two seasons.

"In some ways it resembles the triangle," Blake said. "You have the two guard front bringing the ball up the court. It keeps everybody involved in every single play. There are a lot of options for everybody. I think it will be a good thing for this team."




Interesting that Blake played Princeton for two years but struggled in the triangle, and says they are similiar.
