A discussion from Kidd recently in the Clippers game discussed "pace" in regards to our half-court set. I'm not entirely sure what he meant except perhaps the ball needs to move out Luka's hands quickly rather than just Luka dribbling and setting up a play. I generally think of a faster pace in regards to the pace "in transition" rather than the half court ... so I may just be making an assumption about what Kidd meant. I just remember that he was talking about Mavs pace in a way I wasn't used to.
OKC presents the problem of forcing their opponent to have a formidable transition defense because of their speed, but that I think was different than the conversation about the Clippers and the Mavs pace.
