Could have waited for the Game time thread, since I grabbed this off the GSW Game Preview, but they wrote "According to NBA.com/Stats, Lowry is fifth in the NBA in points per game on drives at 6.8. On top of that, Toronto ranks sixth in the NBA with 45.3 points in the paint per game via Team Rankings."
I find that pretty interesting considering DD has been out and it seems all we have heard for the last couple of years is how the Raps need and inside game. Obviously Lowry and GV are a big part of that. But Amir has been pretty steady and JV in particular has stepped up his inside game, grabbing a lot of offensive rebounds for put backs. And most of JJ's points are from the paint area. And Ross seems to have started going inside a bit with those little floaters. But still, 45.3 ppg is outstanding for this team, I would have thought, considering where they were last year.
