Have you watched the Raptors play playoff games before? Their offence is not built for it.
I would also quote the bit about the win rate dropping a little but I can't be bothered.
At any rate, I can only hope that DD is gone. I actually like Lowry but he'll be too old for rebuild (whether it's a short or long one), hopefully a sign and trade can be worked out. I would also hope for Casey to be gone but maybe he'll be good for a developing team rather than a "contender". I like our GM and think he can work miracles, so I'm curious about next season or two. Only hope is either DD learns to shoot 3s or he gets traded (both of which are unlikely, I admit).
I _will_ say, I was pleasantly surprised by the raptors beating the bucks. Yes, the bucks aren't great, but their long, switching defence is the type of thing that suffocates the raps (in particular DD not being able to find "space" in the mid range). I also thought they would take a game, maybe two, from the cavs.
I have read the speculation about the spurs but I would think that Chris Paul would be too expensive (and not have the personality) for them. KL may do a gigantic discount to play for a ring, but again I would think the personality wouldn't fit - he clashes a lot. However, Spurs might gamble if they don't see themselves as having the internal talent.
