Speed Ball my friends. I would love to see a team deploy this tactic. You already see elements of all of these in Karl's Nuggets, the current Heat and Dantoni's suns.
7 Seconds or less = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Seconds_or_Less
Nelli Ball = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nellie_Ball.
Havoc Defense = http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/col...211/vcu-press/
What Do You Need To Pull This Off?
A twelve deep roster of two way players.
at least six guys that shoot 35% or better from 3
Two atheletic stretch 4s that can both pick and pop and pick and roll
No centers
A PG with a yo yo handle. (Rubio would probably handle this best)
The idea behind being 12 deep is that you go full tilt until you need a blow and because the basketball is mostly positionless, the pressure you exert on the opposing defense by playing so fast, and by pressing after every single made shot and deadball, will exhaust any team that isn't equally deep. It would also be exciting to watch.
