Like I said in one of the preseason game threads, we can talk pace all preseason long but we don't have the personnel to execute that plan. It was the same last year and the year before.

it's the same as saying every year that we want to shoot more 3's but we average 22% from the 3 pt line as a team. It doesn't matter how many Allstars you have on a team, if you shoot 40-50 3's a game and miss them you are always going to be playing from behind and you are going to lose a lot of games.
We are a half court team, it's in our DNA

Pretty sure,and the announcers actually confirmed it during the Hornets game, that the speed which was talked about as a plan for this season refers not so much to the running and gunning. It's more about making quick decisions when you have the ball. In a second or two you gotta either shoot, drive or pass. ( "Spray" is what Mike Brown calls it when kicking the ball out to a player behind the 3 ball line)
