The read is for the ball handler to pass the ball to the short roll man (i.e center). If you don't want Gafford or Lively in that position, the pick will likely have to be set by someone else and they will be in the short roll if the defense decides to blitz.
It’s actually quite a bit more complicated than that, and honestly has more to do with how the thunder are playing the first screener, not so much how they are playing with the big who comes in for the second screen.
The Mavs made some good adjustments tonight to put players in better positions.
