PHOENIX (AP) — With the failed Shaquille O'Neal experiment in their rearview mirror, the Phoenix Suns plan to put the pedal to metal and hope for the best.

Steve Nash said at the team's media day on Monday that the Suns begin training camp with "a clear vision" of how they are going to play.

That would be fast and furious, just like in the days when Mike D'Antoni was coach.

Nash said that considering all the turmoil of last season, it's not surprising the Suns failed to make the playoffs for the first time since 2004.

The Suns will work out Tuesday through Sunday in San Diego, then return to Phoenix for a preseason game Oct. 6 against Partizan Belgrade of Europe. That will be followed by an outdoor contest against Golden State Oct. 10 in Indian Wells, Calif.
