We investigate the low {ital p}{sub {ital T}} features of the transverse momentum distribution for pions in relativistic heavy-ion collisions from the NA35 collaboration. Contrary to recent claims, we find that collective hydrodynamic flow cannot account for the experimental low {ital p}{sub {ital T}} shape of the pion transverse momentum distribution.
