Not sure how I feel about that:

Quote:

The triangle offense, which is based on precise cutting and proper spacing, gained notoriety in the ’90s when the Chicago Bulls used it to win six NBA championships. When Phil Jackson and his long-time assistant coach and friend Tex Winter, who introduced the triangle offense to the NBA, moved on to the Los Angeles Lakers, they continued to deploy the triangle. And they continued to enjoy considerable success, winning three NBA titles.

Yet, despite the extraordinary success of the Bulls and Lakers under Jackson and Winter, not many NBA observers – including most coaches – were sold on the benefits of the triangle.

The skeptics quickly noted that Jackson and Winter were simply blessed with superior talent: in Chicago, it was Michael Jordan and, in Los Angeles, it was Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant.

Last season, the Lakers were the only NBA team to extensively run the triangle offense. This year, the Lakers will have that distinction again, although it will also be a part of the Bucks’ offensive strategy.

“The triangle offense is not going to be a steady diet of our offense, but it will be a part of it,’’ Krystkowiak said. “But I believe there’s a time and place for the triangle offense.

“I think there are a lot of positives to it, a lot of benefits to it.’’

Krystkowiak came to that realization 13 years ago. That’s when he played for the Bulls during the 1994-’95 season and admired how effective the triangle offense was under the direction of Jackson and Winter.

Bucks' new offense has winning look

It could work.

Micheal Redd is no Micheal Jordan, this could potentially be a disaster.
