Mine:  The very simple one while we are in transition,  PP spots up at the top of the 3 pt line and Rondo with the ball (and sometimes Perk) screens the defense into the paint to leave PP with a wide open 3.  So smooth.

I love when Eddie and Sheed use the pick and roll, both players move to Eddie he throws it back to Sheed for three.

1. Those alley oops from Rondo to Garnett.
2. The play where Pierce seals off his man and gets the lob at the corner of the backboard for the easy layup. Make them pay when they overplay.
3. The elbow pick by Rondo for Pierce so that Pierce gets the mismatch with the other team's point guard with the lane wide open.

Gotta be the Rondo to KG alley oop

Though Perk is starting to get points for his ability to throw old Pierce to Toine loft to the post pass.
Yup

The high pick and roll with KG and Rondo or House with Wallace etc. We can play the high pick and roll with a lot of different combos and it's very hard to defend. I love pick and roll basketball.

The play that we used to run with Paul and Antoine, now its run with Rondo and Pierce.

Antoine would stand in the low post, get the pass in from the left wing, then Paul would cut outside then behind him baseline. Antoine hands it off then blocks out both his man and Paul's.

RR and PP do it now, and it's resulted in some dizzunks for Rondo.

This, TP.

 It's frighteningly effective, because it's nearly impossible to defend since sheed sets a great pick.

Either way, one of them is getting open. I've also noticed that ray tends to drift back towards where eddie is rolling off of when all three of them are on the floor, so if they try to play it man up, eddie can kick the ball to ray coming off a curl to the three point line.

Another play we haven't used alot of yet, but has looked very good is a double high pick and roll when our unit on the floor is rondo-ray-pierce-kg-sheed.

With rondo using the double pick, it's almost guaranteed he's getting into the lane, and that one of the other 4 great shooters on the floor will be wide open for an easy jumper.

Not sure how many teams will be able to defend that, you need multiple skilled defensive big men who can switch onto whoever they need too....and we pretty much have the monopoly on those.  ;)

Pick and roll is the only play this team needs.  Throw out the 60 plus offensive sets Doc draws up.  Like Red always said, keep it simple.  Imagine if Thibadeau had 60 plus defensive schemes for our team to learn.

Any play that starts with Rondo penetrating is my favorite.

I love it when P2 is involved in pick and roll situation, against Cavs, himself and KG took the game over, but also a play we run very frequently is pick with Rondo leaving P with a mismatch.
But the one that impressed me the most was last year 1st round when Ray got that shot against Noah, the Bulls were co confused, just like me  :)

I loved the 3-1 pick and pop that PP and Eddie used to run last year to get Eddie open looks for 3.  Eddie would come out of that pick sprinting to the other side of the court!  Baby used to do a great job setting a flare screen for Eddie to free him up better when teams started playing Eddie more honestly on it.  Haven't seen it as much this year though, have any of you?
