There is a perception around the NBA that with Steve Nash and Mike D’Antoni running the Nets offense, Brooklyn will be run-and-gun, pick-and-roll, maybe even more crazed than the Suns’ “Seven Seconds or Less.” Brian Lewis quipped it might even be “SIX Seconds or Less!”
Don’t be so sure, Alex Schiffer writes Tuesday after interviewing people close to D’Antoni and Amar’e Stoudemire ... and parsing Nash’s statements. Basically, expect the offense to be reflective of the personnel. High tempo? Sure. A replication of “Seven Seconds or Less?” Don’t be so sure.
For one thing, Nash himself made comments that suggested it would be different.
