But I'm REALLY impressed with the results. We're steamrolling teams on a nightly basis. Scoring 100 pts in 3 quarters is no longer shocking. The offense is flowing, everyone is scoring, and nobody's really breaking a sweat out there. It's incredible to watch.
Now the only question is, why did it take so long to make these changes?

I missed this somehow, they don't break into finer details but the do give props to DeMar and actually, somehow, end up drawing parallels between Dwane Casey and Gregg Popovich:

Some very insightful articles were critical of the Raps approach in past years which ended up being right, but we dismissed them at the time as bashing the team.

Great articles. Verrry complimentary. Almost gushing. Not used to seeing that from the US media.

There is a sticky right at the top of Let's NBA for long form articles such as these. I've put a bunch of Raptor's stuff there over the past couple of seasons.
But come to think of it, maybe Raptor articles like these should have a sticky here in the Everything Raptors forum.
Mods? Thoughts?
