    One thing is forsure Ross/Carroll < Norm/CJ. This is probably the most competent wing rotation with had around Deebo/Klow

      The comparison is actually Ross/Carroll/Norm vs. Norm(plus ~10mpg)/CJ.

        with Carroll missing with injury or being a negative on a floor and Ross showing up once in 4 games and Norm being a last resort for Casey I'll this year's rotation is better.
        Only one thing matters: We The Champs.

          The comparison is ACTUALLY Ross/Carroll and Norm once in a while vs. Norm for 26 mpg+ every night/CJ.

            I said +10mpg. Norm played about 18mpg last year (17mpg pre ASB), he will play 26mpg like you said so +10. Not fucking complicated.

              Bahaha. Dude. I was correcting the implication that Powell was actually a regular rotation player before Ross got traded. Calm your tits

                Pierce looks robotic as an analyst. You need someone with a bit of personality doing what he just did there. Nonetheless you pretty much have to agree with him. Raptors playing like Houston without guys like Gordon, Harden, Anderson, Lou Williams (now Paul) or Ariza is asking for trouble.

                If that's what they want to do then they really need to consider trading DD for someone else. You build your offense around your best scorers. Otherwise it's like ramming a square peg in a round hole.

                    It’s the pre season exhibitions....

                    - get a look at the guys from 8 to 15 on the roster to see who fits where....
                    - run the new schemes to the extreme for reps... it’s unlikely the raps put up 40 3’s a game but run it in game conditions for reps, do think they keep the ball movement and take between 30 and 33 a game
                    - highly unlikely they trade DD ...it’s on Nurse to marry the need for increased ball movement, continue to make use of the Raps big advantages over most teams with their guard play, and find that elusive third option to make teams pay when they double up on Kyle and DD...Powell and Miles ??
                    - hoping Anunoby plays some to see just how big the hole is at SF..cuz it’s a gap right now...
                    There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

                      Massiv x factor here is, of course, the young guys.

                      The role players gone from last year were bigger names, but aside from Tucker (only here the last 1/4 of the year), they underwhelmed on a variety of levels. There's real potential for the young guys stepping in to be better than what we got out of the outgoing guys last year, but counting on development is always a crapshoot with youth. Maybe too many of them are still too young.

                      I guess x factor #2 is the health of Serge + Lowry.

                      Those are the two factors that knock this down to a 45 win team. If those factors turn out positive, then it's a 50+ win team pushing for the ECF again.

                        Massive X factor indeed. We're going to be good.

                          I'm floating around the 48 win mark, simply because there will be growing pains with Delon, Norm, Yak eating up heavier minutes this year.

                          But I'm ok with this. We'll have a very strong bench unit by next season....and perhaps even by April.

                            Cj/Norm > Ross/Carroll. OG/Siakam > 2pat. This team is better.

                              I'll make you a sig bet that we don't win more games than last year. 52 or more, you win. 51 or less, I win.

                              Loser wears the other's choice of sig (nothing dirty) from end of regular season till the draft.

                              I don't like betting against the Raps but since we disagree on practically everything this should be fun.

                                Sounds good to me. Bets off if Lowry/Deebo suffer a serious injury.
