After 31 games, the Raptors have THE BEST offense of all time

Kyle Lowry is that dude

 

Amazing how Patrick Patterson rebuilt his game becoming a true stretch 4. He always had solid mechanics on his jumpshot so you could envision him developing a 3 pt shot but it's still impressive.

This is again a sign of a flawed stat.

Forget the rankings. Let's look at two teams, in comparison to their own history.

'87-88 was not the Celtics best offensive team, not even close! '85-86 was. Everyone knows that except this stat apparently.

'09-10 was not the Suns best offensive team, the Nash MVP years were with D'Antoni.

 

No, the stat is completely wrong wrt Boston and Phoenix. The stat does not in fact define best offense properly. You just choose to call it the correct barometer.

Saying it is not arguable whether the stat is wrong or not, is not in fact true. I can completely argue whether the stat is the correct stat to use for best offense. Don't say we can't argue that.

It clearly is not the correct way to measure best offense if it say 87-88 is Bird, Parish, McHale and Johnson's best offensive team vs Bird's '85-86 team when they were all in their prime and they had Walton as 6th man. Clearly wrong.

It is also cleary wrong calling '10 Nash and Amare's best offensive team. Clearly wrong.

 

The Rockets can really use PPat's contribution. We don't have enough front-court spacing without going small and even our "small ball 4" options have not shot as well as Pat has. Pat is also a good finisher at closer distances. He would work wonders for giving Harden and Howard more space to work with.

 

Lowry > Melo and Bosh.

 

??? What does Dragic have to do with this thread?? You are mentioning him for the first time dude.
Btw, again basing facts on incomplete season. Yes toronto found chemistry without superstars, just like suns did last year. Did you see me opening thread after thread last year each time i find a meaningless stat, based on half a season and defending it blindly? You are doing that and it's annoying, that's what i'm trying to tell you. It has nothing to do with suns or goran.

 

If noone b****es abou annoying threads, they start to spread. Do you really want the dish to be populated only by annoyong threads, lol. Also it`s about discussion, but you don`t want to have any of that because you ignore anyone who doesn`t agree with you, no matter how sound the arguments.

 

Lol. Let's break it down quickly:

In "Best post Rocket PG ever: Kyle Lowry..." you called me biased because of my nationality the moment I dared to say something against your VERY biased view of Raptors and Lowry. Meanwhile, a lot of people in that thread called you out on number of silly statements.

Then you go and in three weeks' distance you basically open two same threads about Raptors' offense, ignoring anyone who disagrees with you.

apollo33 summed it up pretty nice for you:

Kneejerk and bias is your modus operandi it seems. Why don't you go to Toronto Raptors forums with these threads? I'm sure they will welcome you with open arms there.

 

So if someone doesn't agree with you and you run out of arguments, you tell him "you can ignore the stuff you don't like" rather than admitting you were being too homer. Yup, I'm the one who has to grow up.

 

Actually since that "Best post Rocket PG ever" thread I like calling you out on bull****. I can't get past the fact you like to take things out of context, like making bold stamements about player or his team based on 1/4 of season. Or basing two of your threads on a number that doesn't mean much if you don't look at the big picture - like what kind of defenses were being played in 80s or now etc.

Now I don't want to downplay Toronto's great run, but I don't think it's that much different than PHX's of last year. The only difference, and it's a big one, is the conference they're playing in so Toronto clearly has better offensive numbers. I think they are 2nd round exit at best because they don't have a good interior defense. If they played in Western conference, they'd follow in Denver's path from few years ago at best (first round exit) as a team without superstars and great offensive output.
