Message: [QUOTE="dogpause, post: 4529027, member: 701"] Many of the advantages we have as a team, including bench depth, twin bigs, Jordan's ability to stop and shoot in the blink of an eye, and Andre's chaos-producing athleticism, are maximized by playing at a faster sustained pace than other teams are capable of. This is how we played when we opened the season 8-0, and rarely found ourself behind in the score . However, somewhere along the line, we stopped running as much, and we stopped pressing as much, and those five extra fouls that come from having a second quality 5, became irrelevant. Our superpowers were being neutralized, and the field of play leveled, by our own deeds and decisions. At times it seems as if we're playing to only not lose. I really think we need to get back that style, and start playing to win. [/QUOTE]
