It's long to run to completion but you have to consider that the first action, the ballscreen 5 sets for 1, might get a high percentage look for either 1 or 5.
the big man would get robbed in the middle before the 1,2 gets to cut, screen and pop. you can't have the ball in a big mans hands on the line for that long, just let him take one dribble and get inside
my coach tried to make me play the high post last year and it was pretty hard, with all these cutters the big man ends up with 2-3 guys around him, you have like 2 secs with the ball and you either hit the cutter (cutting from wing to wing) or take the ball inside yourself. No way i could stand there and wait for the guys to run circles around the court
bosh might get away with it but he'd probably end up shooting the FT line jumpshot ala dirk instead of passing it
the big definitely has the option of just shooting the ball. if the 1 forces the 5's defender to help out his defender, then there can be an open shot for the 5.
and i don't think the play would take that long. the only players running a lot would be the 1 (ford) and the 4 (bosh). guys that can run all day.

I just seen what you are talking about. That's one of the tweaks that would have to be made because the spacing on the floor makes that last sequence of the play slower to develope.
that was well done. inspired me to do one tonight i think. lol
suprised i didn't see any play where the 5 releases to the basket though. you'd think he'd find himself in many situations where he can exploit his defender whether through help D or screens. with the floor so wide open, this should be available.
