If we still had that 07-08 bench along with the 09-10 starters...

Players like Farmar, Brown and even Vujacic are better suited for a running style type of offense. Once they are allowed to get up and down the floor, they can get open shots and create havoc on opposing defense. If they keep playing a half court offense, they have next to no capability to create any offense whatsoever. This was evident in the Utah game as well. When we were running, our defense and offense were great. Once we slowed things down at the beginning of the fourth, we started giving up our leads.

A team can't just run. They have to play defense, get rebounds, push it when the opportunity is there. IIRC that's what happened against the Jazz in that second quarter.
Don't remember PJ slowing them down. Not with Sasha leading the break!
