[QUOTE="goillini30, post: 1455825, member: 590758"] I think the dribble weave is just to get the help defenders moving, so they have a harder time guarding the high pick and roll when Giorgi steps out to set the ball screen on the (usually) 3rd time through the weave. The opposing player who's job it is to tag the roll man might be out of position, either to help on the roll or to recover to a shooter. That's partly how we kept getting the 3 point shooter open when he replaced (or lifted) into the spot where the screen just happened, which the color commentator (Hummel?) pointed out. Also, late in the game we showed the weave look, but just pivoted, threw back to the wing who just handed off, and got into the spread action. We threw the lob, which was open, but it was a bad pass and Feliz (I think) just had to catch it and dribble back out. So BU had a counter to the weave in his back pocket that he saved for late in the game, it was a good call, it worked, but the bad pass kept us from scoring. [/QUOTE]
