Split cuts & blind pig are my favourite Triangle sets. I like how the Warriors use split cuts as a staple to there offence. One move I like to do NBA2k is to run the corner split cut, have Bogut receive up high, Curry will be down in the corner, Klay will run towards Curry to do a down screen, instead of Curry going past the Klay screen for a 3 or dribble hand-off by Bogut, I manually get Steph to do a V-cut so he then runs baseline while his defender overplays and gets stuck on the Klay pick, easy 2 point 99.9% of the time.
It's the little things about the triangle that the Nicks didn't understand. I love the pivot/shield on the pass @ 4:16. It's so fundamental to that pinch post, yet the nicks rarely were able to do it correctly. I know it's easier seeing the plays from a bird's eye view, but I'm amazed at how many people know the intricate nuances of the triangle from TEX & Phil vids (and 2K) yet so many players struggle understanding spacing & the constant forming & reforming of triangles on the floor.
thanks for the video coach. i've been waiting for this breakdown for a long time, unfortunately, i am still using the previous gen 2k which is not so accurate than this but your breakdowns on the triangle are great especially for beginners so keep it up.
We had a change aig scheme forced down on the coach from out front office. Last two years we were a defensive minded team. This year we wanted to run pace and space and shoot more threes and we lost our focus on the defensive side. Injuries and free throws have really killed our seaon too.
this was great Coach Nick!Please do more of this maybe for the 2019 version? Also do you know of any colleges that run the triangle regularly if not solely? Do see it a an offense that would translate to sweet sixteen and beyond success for a college team? Would it lend to the probability of upsetting a higher seed team with it's effectiveness? would you see a 16seed beating a 1 seed and making a run to at least tje Sweet 16 or better? Inquiring Minds want to know!
I run this automaticlly with comibantion of many other things. I've played for so many hours that I just see the openings and once my player without the ball runs into a certain place I know where I have to go with the ball so other guys will move into the direction I want them to go and it will open up a lay up,a 3 pointer,a miss match in the low post etc... something good will happen. Is much better that way then to actually run plays. You can run plays very spontaneously you just have to play a lot and it also helps if you watch or play basketball. But you have to be carefull not to over complicate things. I've learned to always go with the most simple option I have and if it doesn't work I keep openin up other layers of offense.
I'm playing a pawn shop physical copy of 2k18, drafted by the Knicks (Phil's was fired that summer, Kyrie is on the cover as a Cav despite being traded to the Celts) and the default offense is a facsimile of the Triangle. I lead the NBA in 3pt field goal percentage at .550, Tim Hardaway is second at .544 and Kristaps Porzingas is a .470 3pt shot. If the spacing is adjusted properly the triangle can be a deadly effecient offense in the modern NBA.
It's funny, the dude talking about how improved the triangle offense is in 2K16, you'd think 2K would put out trailers with info regarding new/updated plays in the game.
H'mm well Coach Nick if the triangle is such a good offense that produces quality shots why is the Knicks offense so horrendous, 24th in offensive efficiency. And it's not like the Knicks are playing only bums, Melo is an all star, Rolo is good, KP is good, AA and Calderon are decent veterans. They aren't making a good case that the triangle can succeed in the modern NBA.
In its old form maybe. But if you watch the Warriors. They are running the triangle. some of main staples are run in their offense. Throwing it in the post and then cutting. It's the reason why they are so good. Most 3 point shooting teams don't score easy buckets like they do off their cuts and ball movement.
Which is very impressive, but triple doubles don't win you the MVP. I'll admit, he's a definite contender, but what he lacks is execution in crunch time. Idk the exact stats, but from what I've watched, it looks like he gets bottled up within the last 2 minutes of the fourth. Not to mention, on a team that already has a huge powerhouse scorer, he sure ain't gonna be able to come into his own. He's improved every year, so maybe next year he'll get MVP.
+Logan Westfall its something called a "fade away" shooters also can adjust in midair and get fouled... and oh yeah if you look up "curry 4 point plays" you can tell that "touch fouls" also exists in the nba...
+dicksonh i mean it's a video game. i remember when video games didn't even have sets. You just ran around and hoped the AI didn't get in the way. I think it's great the advancements that have been made
Man just wanted to say that LeBron King James is truly the best NBA player of all time. Elite passer (jordan never was), Elite driver, Elite perimeter defender, Good interior defender (jordan never was), Good rebounder (jordan never was), Clutch (most made clutch shots in playoffs of modern generation including Kobrick), and best team leader other than Chris Paul.
+Noe Rios Bird had to battle the showtime lakers and still got 3 rings. Lebron got smacked by the Mavs and choked against Orlando. The only 2 rings he won were from a manufactured dream team, I have more respect for Dirk and Wade than I do Lebron.
kay nine No they do not. They run one or a few (I've only seen one) actions that come from the triangle, like the split action following the post entry, but it's a huge step to then conclude they run "a variation of the triangle" offense. The triangle operates primarily out of the high-post and mid-range. The Warriors do not. Many teams run actions from different offensive systems. That doesn't mean they're variations of them. Warriors offensive is very different than the triangle.
yes i saw it. i think the refs aren't discussing about the plays on the floor but they're talking about how to let the warriors win every game. bs medias and nba falling in love with that mediocre steph.
+Jan Mejares Ridiculous. He's makes them, so they're not stupid shots. If Dwight shoots a 3, probably stupid. Avg. guard shoots a 3, probably a good shot. If Steph takes a long 3 and still hits 40%+, good shots
+Oliver Humphries You think this is one of the rare times refs have avoided calls at the end of games? They even say they try to let players decide the game and don't bail guys out. I'm not a fan of it, but to call it rigged? Oh wait my bad, maybe you were talking about when Andre got pushed by Matt for that rebound
Yooo a 2K tutorial?! I can do with more of these. Keep em coming hahaa
ayee the agent I can trust
Yoo agent
yo agent!
hey everyone stop sucking him off. Lol!
Never expected this channel to do a video like this, but I love it. Really helps to visualize plays. Keep up the great work!

tried this online and some of the actions couldn't get me good shots. and it was kind of slow.. princeton chin however I feast

can you do more 2k plays in 2022
First time I saw Knicks running the triangle offense smoothly :)
thanks for the video coach. i've been waiting for this breakdown for a long time, unfortunately, i am still using the previous gen 2k which is not so accurate than this but your breakdowns on the triangle are great especially for beginners so keep it up.
I've been waiting for this!
could you make a vid about how the wizards are struggling? because they are missing the playoffs when they have a not much different roster
They're Coach. He legit only runs plays for John Wall and no one else.

I'd love to see more of these videos
coach can you make a breakdown on warriors vs spurs on its 72 win
the triangle in my game doesnt look and work like that somehow (ps4)
It's funny, the dude talking about how improved the triangle offense is in 2K16, you'd think 2K would put out trailers with info regarding new/updated plays in the game.
nah because a majority of the audience that 2k is selling to doesnt give a shit about running plays
+Jacob Denton ^
Do more 2k Gameplay Reviews PLZ!
Can you do a video about Norman Powell? I feel like he was a steal at the 46th pick.
You were so right lol
I've been running the Spurs motion offense since 2K15. I might try the Triangle next year.
+Kevin Surur You should only run the Cavaliers offense
+Lebron James GOAT #CurryisOverrated #2FinalsMVPnot0 pass to lebron and let him do it by himself? 😂
A box of Cadbury Favorites Was about to say this.
A box of Cadbury Favorites yup with Kyrie Jr and love ready to shoot
The big man is so important in triangle
How can you initiate the triangle without an entry pass??
Is it freelance triangle?
How do you call this coach? Or anyone else that knows how?
Does this work on 360?
Triangle is awesome this year. I love to turn off the play art and just run it.
Why won't defenders sag off on Rodman in Triangle ?
They would now. Back when Rodman played, that would have been illegal defense.
H'mm well Coach Nick if the triangle is such a good offense that produces quality shots why is the Knicks offense so horrendous, 24th in offensive efficiency. And it's not like the Knicks are playing only bums, Melo is an all star, Rolo is good, KP is good, AA and Calderon are decent veterans.

+jeebs9 they aren't running the triangle. They certainly have some triangle elements in their offense, but to say the run the triangle is wrong
Its a mix of a triangle and motion
Make a video on why Westbrook should get Mvp?
+Jai Williams Lol
+skytron22 why you say that
+skytron22 he basically averaged a triple double
Which is very impressive, but triple doubles don't win you the MVP. I'll admit, he's a definite contender, but what he lacks is execution in crunch time. Idk the exact stats, but from what I've watched, it looks like he gets bottled up within the last 2 minutes of the fourth.

can you break down the Warriors vs Memphis game... the last seconds of the game... EVERYONE KNOW LANCE GOT FOULED
Im a warriors fan but I do agree that lance was fouled
Lance wasn't fouled. You can check the last two minute report on NBA.com
+Logan Westfall he was fouled... in the rule book a shooter must have time to come down without getting hit... and you can clearly see klay hit him!!!
+lilwaltallday Lance kicked his leg out some to initiate the contact.
+Logan Westfall its something called a "fade away" shooters also can adjust in midair and get fouled... and oh yeah if you look up "curry 4 point plays" you can tell that "touch fouls" also exists in the nba...

Not that annoying guy from 2ktv..
Hey! TBG is cool lol
Yay

triangle offense doesnt work in 2k16..if you use it in a game have fun losing and raging
none of the above is a wide shot. also the center is too easy to have the ball striped or intercepted in those positions. an awful system in nba2k16.
wide open not wide
+dicksonh Exactly.
+dicksonh i mean it's a video game. i remember when video games didn't even have sets. You just ran around and hoped the AI didn't get in the way. I think it's great the advancements that have been made
+AlphaDwg yes there are many good sets but the one he showed is one of the worst.
The only offence that works on Hall of Fame is Pick and Roll lmao
Pick and roll and then throw 7 passes to find the open man
MinneapolisLegend28 Corner 3
+Andfiker give and go also works fine
I run triangle on HOF sim
IntoTheRing You must take a lot of L's.
Doesn’t work anymore
Ask him why Phil Jackson isn't in the game
Cause he isnt a coach
He's on the Knicks as a player I think
I'll shut that shit down.. If I had a ps4 and 2k
Haha face ass
lol if anyone runs this against me they are catching a 20 point slap
The triangle sucks, it only works if you have jordan, pippen, kobe or shaq.
+KobeBryant Would work better with LeBron King James
+KobeBryant any offense works if you have those players
+Lebron James GOAT #CurryisOverrated #2FinalsMVPnot0 LeBron should spend more time with his family and retire.
+KobeBryant
No other team has had success with that offense. We'll see what the Knicks can do in the future.

Man just wanted to say that LeBron King James is truly the best NBA player of all time.

You just called a Lebron clutch ? I should actually report you for that Bs

This Lebron James Goat guy has to be the most deluded person ever. Forget MJ I don't even think Lebron is better than Bird, Magic tbh.
but he already pasted bird on every stat for a sf
+Noe Rios Bird had to battle the showtime lakers and still got 3 rings. Lebron got smacked by the Mavs and choked against Orlando. The only 2 rings he won were from a manufactured dream team, I have more respect for Dirk and Wade than I do Lebron.

half of these aren't even the triangle
+RainTrain45 they're all pure triangle my man.

Triangle Offense is terrible in 2k16, almost as bad as in real life.
The top two teams right now are triangle oriented teams though so its not really that terrible in real life.
Johan Liebert No they're not.
+Alique Williams idk what teams he is talking about, but the warriors use a variation of the triangle
kay nine No they do not. They run one or a few (I've only seen one) actions that come from the triangle, like the split action following the post entry, but it's a huge step to then conclude they run "a variation of the triangle" offense.
