<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">High scoring, lots of ball movement, fluid play, uptempo style, what?s not to like about the Phoenix Suns and their red-hot start? The Suns are good for the NBA because they play old-time basketball. Those who suggest that a team that relies on the fast break won't win in the playoffs have it wrong. It's the same game. The playoffs are different, but not that different. The idea that it suddenly won't work in the postseason, that's a fallacy. Why do I say this? I've played on up-tempo teams that have won it all. That's what my teams did in ?74 and ?76. I recently watched the seventh game of the ?74 Finals between the Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks. We pressed for 48 minutes in the last game of the year. Can you win doing that? Well, that's what we did. We knew it was about who was going to dictate the tempo of the game. If we pushed the ball, we knew we would be in a position to win, as opposed to letting them come down, set up and look for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. We know that slowing it down would not favor us.</div> Source
