  Do you remember the fairly recent Golden State Warriors featuring "Run
TMC" a.k.a. Tim Hardaway, Chris Mullin, and Mitch Richmond; highest
scoring team in the NBA at 120+ ppg average, but allowed just as much per 
game? > 

   Take the Danny Ainge led Suns of last season. Potent three-guard
offense capable of high output every night, couldn't get it done in the
playoffs. One of our common foes, Pat Riley, sums it up in two different
quotes. "Rebounds equals rings," and "Tenacity brings titles."  Offense is
not mentioned here by one of the true great minds of basketball.
