Says Skin: "Apparently film doesn't exist of that weak-side back screen to free Roddy for the oop."

Says Sefko: "Nobody's seemed to catch on to when they are going to pull it off, and there's a reason. The Mavericks don't yell out the name of the play when they are going to run it. It's just some as-yet-unknown signal between the players.

Scouts are having a tough time learning when the Mavericks are going to run it."

Said Warriors rookie Mark Jackson, back in the day: "Unstoppable, baby!" - to the Mavericks' bench, after hitting a lay-up during a 29-point loss.

Here's some more 'xplainin'

Sefko: Opponents haven’t figured it out yet, and there’s a reason. They don’t know when it’s coming because there are no hand signals or voice commands from coach Rick Carlisle or Kidd.
“We call it after a timeout or at the start of a quarter,” Beaubois said. “We don’t have to say anything.”
That would seem to be a dead giveaway, but even if defenders know it’s coming, it’s hard to stop because of Dirk Nowitzki. He’s the pick-setter at the top of the key after Beaubois gives the ball to Kidd and starts his circuitous route to the far side of the basket, where he takes off after Kidd has released the lob pass.
Defenses do not leave Nowitzki when he sets a pick. That frees Beaubois for a clear run at the weak side of the basket.
“All you have to do is have somebody who can throw a decent pass,” Kidd said.
He’s been known to do that a time or 10,000 in his career. Kidd and Richard Jefferson used to make a living off the lob passes when they were at New Jersey.

"There were arms coming from everywhere, and I knew they weren’t going for the ball," Miller said. "I was just trying to get [the shot] up before they called some crap like ‘on the ground.’ "
"What do you want me to do?" Wright asked. "Do you want me to Derek Fisher him?"
"Give them some fucking credit, i mean for real." Jackson said.
"I just fell on my face for no reason," Bryant deadpanned. "I'm a klutz."
"Fucking right i'm preachin' it!" Carlisle replied.
"Rough life, isn't it. It's tough all over, isn't it." Smith chuckled.

YAO: " Leave your car keys here and run home. I'll give you the keys tomorrow."
