90 Pistons

I'm playing in a season with the bad boys and I can't seem to create consistent offense to save my life. So my question is, how do I create consistent offense with the Thomas, Dumars, Rodman, Laimbeer, Edwards lineup?

I'd start by watching some Pistons games from the late 80's to see how they played.

Play alot of pick n rolls and pick n pops with Isaiah/Edwards and Isaiah/Laimbeer. Also, have Joe dumars come of screens for shots or use him to take your man of the dribble.

I'd also tried to penetrate alot with Isaiah and hand it over to the big men once inside.

That's the basic principle ofhow they used to play, at least.

Thanks for the response.

I've tried this out and the pick n pop with Laimbeer dominates. Dumars also has a great outside shot. Another question, how should I get Vinnie Johnson involved in the offense?

I didn't use them much but I made a roster of old & new players. Had to play a few games with Isiah! I played Tayshawn Prince at sf. Laimbeer at C. Bench: Ben Gordan, Stuckey, Wallace & a few other guys. Kinda cool. Definitely watch some old games on YouTube!

I'd run some double screens for 'The Microwave' (still one the all-time great nicknames) to get him some good mid-range looks.

^ That;s the way to go with 6'2" Vinnie. Double screens for quick mid/close range jumpers.
