FYI, most teams TRY to play like the Pistons and the Spurs, but they can't get there because it's too hard to assemble a squad for it.
Why does Houston Rockets give up a high draft pick for Shane Battier? ... because that gives them DEFENSE. Houston is ranked 1st in defense right now, and they are winning games WITHOUT Yao (their biggest offensive threat).
Of course, PHX will probable kill the Rockets tomorrow because the players are too old and slow, but it'd be very different in a 7 game series. Do you honestly think PHX can sweep the Rockets?
Yes, more teams try to be like the Suns because it's easier to practice for it. Practice with a 14 second shot clock. Why not practice with a 5 second shot clock? Start running down the court before your team get the rebound!
Can you practice Piston-style or Spurs-style defense? LOL...
I think you get my point. I just don't think your initial statement about Jalen is correct since Utah has an equal chance in winning the ship this year.
