No it won't, especially in terms of our tempo. Noticed a play on Sunday that points to this...

In the first half, Frank runs a fastbreak (sort of a delayed break), pulls up at about 18 feet from the rim, and he dishes to Sidibe, who is alone, about 2 foot from the rim, nearly uncovered. Bourama botched the (solid) pass, which went out of bounds. WF ball.

After the play, (a calm) JAB catches Frank's eye, gestures and asks him to slow down. I love JAB, always will, but that told me everything I needed to know. Sidibe's going to have a layup if he catches the ball. Frank did his job to perfection. Yet, in the end, JAB would rather go the conservative route, ... slow down, bring it out top, run the offense.

He would never had made the same demand of Pearl 30 years ago, Sherm 25 years ago, Jonny 11 years ago, etc.

I think we are a grind it out team from now until JAB and Buddy depart together. Personally, I don't love this -- I think it creates too thin a margin -- but it just is not going to change. Or at least I'd be greatly surprised.
