Exactly. Agree with what Paul Pierce said. Everyone wants to play like the Warriors and the Rockets. Run and gun 3pt shooting team. But you have to have the personnel to do it. We don't have the personnel to do it. Raptors are playing way too fast, they're taking way too many 3 pointers. And they're not making much. It's really dumb.

The only real risk to the team's continued success IMO is if Serge's game falls off a cliff.your pal,

We haven't improved at all personnel wise but there's value in bringing back a good team year after year while your immediate competitors are trying to integrate major pieces. Plus the Conference is absolutely terrible this season which is probably worth a few wins for any of the top teams in the East. I think the Raptors will end up somewhere in the 50-53 win mark again.

This team really has to stay healthy though to pull it out as the bench is all kids pretty much (not a bad thing necessarily as we have been waiting to see them get some more minutes).
I hope to see one of Delon, Pascal, Bebe or God even Bruno (LOLL)someone to break out.. not huge superstar way but a serviceable and dependable player...I think Delon has potential and I think if they truly give him a shot he could be that guy..

Raptors are averaging 43 3PA so far in the preseason, that would have been #1 last season...3 more than the Rockets and 10 more than 3rd place Cleveland. Oh and the Rockets are chucking 52 3's per game this preseason. It will get dialed back. It has to. If it doesn't I'll eat 3 of something gross.Two beer away from being two beers away.

I think he was referring to 3PA.
Not sure what he meant by "if Bruno starts" though. Perhaps he was saying hypothetically, if Bruno was a legit NBA player and started, that in that scenario silly and implausible scenario, the Raptors would then end up jacking up 82 3PA per game.
Seems unlikely, although I would say there's a higher chance of a team shooting 82 3PA in a single game than there is of Bruno ever starting for an NBA team unless he missed the team bus and the bus blew up and killed everyone on board. Even 182 3PA in a game, or 282 3PA in a game, seems more likely than Bruno starting.your pal,
