    Well said! It's about time people stop focusing on this slow-down or speed-up thing. It doesn't matter they need to do both! They should try to run at every opportunity staring with the Shaq rebound on defense, then if the break isn't there they should pull back and set up a half court. Every half court set should go through Shaq or Amare. That would be a happy medium and the Suns would be fierce!!!
