But weren't you a fan of the 80's Celts style too?  Alot of times I like
watching the Pacers play because they play the same style that KC had the
C's playing.

Larry Browns teams play beautiful halfcourt & controlled fast break
basketball. Lots of baskets off of assists, and screens, not isolation
plays. Brown's style is to have a huge fronline, and 2 mentally tough
leaders in the backcourt.  He doesn't give Mark Jackson plays from the
sideline each posession, like Tommy said.  Jackson is one of the best
playmakers there is and can call his own plays.

I think the halfcourt game will be important for the C's too, especially
when they get into the playoffs, and when it comes to X's and O's
coaching, you can't find much better than Brown.  Sorry D.J.
