Circular Logic: Why the Lakers’ Offense Should Use More Than Just the Triangle

If you've paid any attention to the NBA in the past two decades, then you certainly must have heard the term "triangle offense." It's merely the playbook that coach Phil Jackson has utilized to collect 11 championship rings.

They say you can't argue with success, and the Zen Master's numbers speak for themselves. Yet, I believe it's high time for a change in philosophy. Watching last year's NBA Finals slugfest between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics, it was crystal clear that the Lakers won because of defense and rebounding, not offensive precision.

The triangle wasn't good enough, and the Lakers were fortunate to come out on top. (It hurts me to say this, but it's the truth.)
