I think versatility is the most important thing. You need to be able to play big and go small depending on the match-up. The playoffs is all about match-ups and being able to counter whichever team you happen to face. You have to be able to play fast and play slow when needed, go big or small, run pick and roll or iso. It's so hard to win if you can only do one thing well. In a 7 game series the other team will take away what you do well and if you can't counter then you're in trouble.
