Who will it be?? I know the Heat with J-Will and Wade will be big on the break, so which team do yall think will be the best fastbreak team?
Denver and Phoenix will probably have the 2 best fastbreak offenses. EDIT: How could I forget about New Jersey?
Phoenix Suns won't be as crazy as last year, but still one of the better fast breaking teams. I think the Hawks will be exciting on fastbreaks next season, and let's not forget about the Nets. The best point guard in the game, Jason Kidd, running the floor with two of the best finishers, Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson. The Celtics should also be fun to watch on the break.
^you beat me to it! I gotta say that its going to be the nets. no questions asked. J-Kidd+VC+RJ=best running team in the L.
I'm going with the Nets. The Hawks are nice and all, but as of right now JJ is the starting PG, and they don't really have a good passing PG on their whole roster.

But damn, how nice would it be to have K-mart still on the Nets, damn..
nets, the big 3 oh my goodness vc will be throwin down some nasty alley-oops and dunks this year...i can feel it.
Unless Shaq rarely plays, I dont see the Heat being a fast break oriented team. The Nets will probably be one of the best fastbreaking teams in the league. Phoenix will still be good with Nash, Amare, and Marion. Kings and Warriors will also be primarily fast break teams from the west and either could end up being the best in the league. For got about the Bucks, they will probably be a surprise fast break team. I believe they have a very good chance to get into the playoffs.
I think it would be Bucks or Nets as THE BEST fastbreaking teams....I'm just gonna list the ones i think will be the best.... Nets: think about it...VC, JKIDD, RJ.....yes no explanation needed... Bucks: TJ is the epitome of fast...not sure after the surgery deal though...but i think he can do it.......then you add Mason, Redd, and Simmons....good enuff
Nets will be fun to watch, the trio of Kidd, Carter and Jefferson will be really entertaining. The Suns may have lost some firepower, but as long as Steve Nash is running the break, it should be fun to see.
Nets = Run, run, run! Vince, Jason and Richard will be regulars on SportsCentre Phoenix lost Q Rich and JJ but they still got a lot left in the tank. They too have a nice 1-2-3 combo on the break with Nash, Amare and Shawn. The Heat this year will not really be a fastbreak team with Shaq on but the combo of J Will and D wade look pretty nice
The Hawks will disappoint because you can't break consistently if you don't control the defensive boards, something the Hawks don't figure to be able to do much (if any) better than they did last season. If speed was the only thing that mattered in running the break it would be another matter. But unfortunately for Atlanta, speed *isn't* everything. On the other hand, look out for my Celtics, especially if Kendrick Perkins learns to stay out of foul trouble. Never mind that Kendrick isn't very fast, he'll be throwing the outlet pass, not catching it. You don't have to be a burner to do that.
I'd have to say the Heat, Pistons, and Nets. With JWill, Wade, and all the other fast players they'll do great. For the Pistons, theres always Chauncey and Tayshaun. For the Nets, they got JKidd, VC, and RJ.

Miami with the addition of Jason Williams paired up with Dwyane Wade in the backcourt. Those guys are gonna push the tempo on every rebound and get everyone easy baskets. Even Shaq is gonna run this season
Bell is waaay faster than Rich and Johnson, and Barbosa will get more mins @ SG, so they'll be as fast as before, but with better defense, so you'll see more FAST BREAK plays
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Houston:</div><div class="quote_post">definitely the Rockets McGrady...Anderson...Swift </div> lol yea I was thinking of that to, but with mike james as well. But i have to give it to the Nets. They will have at least 1 lob a game if they area running team.
