How can the ball be weak side? Weak side is the side without the ball. Strong side is the side with the ball.
From NBA.COM: "When a team is on offense in their opponents' end of the court, the "strong" side is the side of the court where the ball is located. The "weak" side is the side of the court opposite the strong side (away from the ball). Imagine that there is a line that extends from the basket to midcourt, dividing the court into two equal parts. If a team starts their offense with the ball on the right side of the court, this is the strong side. However, as the ball gets passed, if it ends up on the left side, then that becomes the strong side. When a point guard sets up his team's offense, his teammates run the play using both the strong side and the weak side. "
