Thanks for the link.
I agree with that read to a certain degree. In the regular season you can get by without having good 3pt shooters. In the playoffs, positioning won't get you very far vs the defenses you see.
Birdman got a lot of great looks because he is smart off ball and Spoelstra is a very good coach. But he also is playing with 3 spot up shooters and LBJ or Wade much of the time ( scroll down to playoff 5 man lineups). Not sure that using Birdman to show how you don't need 3 pt shooters to create good looks is the most convincing piece of evidence.

I think the point was you position him in a way that forces Hibbert to make a choice. The Pelicans already do this all the time with Anthony Davis getting lost on the baseline behind the basket. The opposing big can either stay with Davis or help on defense, but not both. We saw Davis get a ton of easy baskets that way last year.
