Boris Diaw did not enjoy how he was being asked to be a more traditional power forward instead of utilizing his versatility.

"It definitely wasn't as fun," Diaw said. "It wasn't as exciting for the fans. It's not as fun for everybody (on the team). I'll always remember Phoenix with (previous coach) Mike (D'Antoni). We went from a winning team that was the most exciting team in the league to a half-winning team that wasn't exciting at all."
