No it doesn't.


What's faster pace than a Tyreke one man fast break off a rebound or steal? Not to mention thanks to Holiday's injury, the last 2 years have seen Greivis "needs 3 picks to get into the lane" Vasquez and Brian "Let me dribble the ball until me shooting is the only available option" Roberts have spent most of the minutes running the point. I really don't think slowing down is what we're going to see.

They may want to go fast; I'm not saying this isn't the goal.

But "it starts with defense"

=/=

"we want to play at a fast pace"

How does Asik on the floor dictate pace? Seems to me that he fits into the slower pace motto Monty likes to run.

Plus, we were around the top 10 in pace last year before the injuries really started.

Then there's the fact that there's seems to be almost no correlation between pace and winning games.

The top 5 teams in pace last year: Philly, LAL, Denver, Minny, Hous

The bottom 5 teams in pace last year: Memphis, NYK, Chicago, Miami, Utah

My impression is that Asik is money at starting the break with rebounding and passing.

And, yeah, I really want to see Jrue, Reke and EG on the floor a lot.
