Soft screens

anyone else feel like we don't know how to set a good pick?
I'm watching this Portland v Heat game and it's amazing how their guards drive by a screen and their guy gets stopped by the screen!
Everytime we set a non slip screen our big seems to leave it to soon or not have good positioning, or maybe it's the guards not driving close enough to the screen so it leaves too much room for the defender to easily fight over the screen, either way, they rarely seem to be effective to me.

Go to the 29 second mark And the 1:40, you'll see what I'm talking about
LINK
This is a decent example of a good one for comparison, 17 sec mark
LINK
Another decent example of a good one, 2:25 mark
I'm on my phone so it's the best examples I could find without having the tools for getting individual clips, lots of others come to mind though

I saw someone talking about this on another site recently, not sure if it was a blog article or fan post. Basically Asik sets picks ok, Ryno and AD can't wait to move to a position to receive the ball. The thing I've noticed is we seem to be getting far fewer moving pick fouls. Jason Smith collected those like crazy. Stiemsma too IIRC.

I think they do a solid job of screening. You're just looking for the wrong thing. Most of the time they (especially AD) aren't looking to set a hard screen to stop the defender. They're just trying to reroute the defender to make him go around.
That extra second it takes to hit the defender on a screen means AD gets into his roll a second later, throwing off the timing off everything. Asik isn't a threat as a roll man, so that extra second doesn't cost him as much.
Screens don't need to be bone-jarring; they need to be effective. Which they are most of the time for us.
