Actually it does because you don't "get out and run" off a made basket where the D can set up.

You are going backwards. You are assuming we want to run fast. Yes, if the goal is to run fast, then you need to start it with D.

But just because he said "it stars with defense," doesn't mean "we want to run fast."

"It starts with defense," means we are going to build our team based on tough defense. The old Pistons teams "started with defense" and they were super slow.
