THE GREEN MACHINE: The Subtle Emergence of Josh Green

[dirkfansince1998]

"Design plays"? How would this work? 

It seems to me that the Mavs offense is all reactive and audibles (so to speak), with the defense deciding what they will do, Luka/Kyrie responding by figuring out who/how to attack and then reading who is open (or taking the shot themself), rather than a coach pre-determining who will get shots.

What am I missing?

Not a play call but over the last few seasons the Mavs flow/motion offense slowly lost most of the motion elements. Players that aren't handling the ball or screening are camping on the 3-point line. In Green's case cutting to the rim is one of his biggest strengths. Not exactly something that can be called upon with a specific play but it feels like the Mavs could use more of it.
