I think it was Chuck who was saying last night, that the reason Denver is good and similar but BETTER than old run-and-gun Suns, is because they do the run-and-gunning based off of really good defense. It made me think about us (Celtics) and that we could be better b/c of KG, PP, and Jet... Chuck was saying that the one problem Denver would have in the playoffs would be a guy who could take the big shots for them and make them... he said it won't be because their style of run-and-gun wont work in the playoffs (games become more half court), because their style is predicated off of defense FIRST, unlike those Suns teams, so they could still do that in the playoffs but that the Suns couldn't because they were based off of misses and inbounds and run, NEVER b/c of defense (I could defend better than those teams who intentionally didn't defend... *cough* D'Antoni *cough*).
The question is, are we a better version of those Suns teams and even a better version of Denver (or have the potential b/c of PP, KG, and Jet)... do you think the assessment of Denver, by Chuck is right? Could it work in the playoffs based on what Chuck said (the defense first)?
