I don't watch sports highlights or Sports Center highlights so have little clue about what is happening in the NBA outside of what happens to the Raptors and the odd article by a talking head. I must have got it turned around in my head thinking he missed 60 games and played 22.

Who Has a Harder Time Integrating Two New Starters? Boston or Toronto?
I could have put this in the game thread, but it is a question that won't be answered immediately, I don't think. And I don't hear this question being talked about much by commentators. On the face of it you would assume that Toronto has a harder time because they pick up two guys new to the organization. However, there may be less disruption to the Toronto bench, depending on how various rotation guys get used. The Raptors lose Jakob from the bench, and may have to integrate JV or Ibaka into the center position from game to game. There are also questions about where Siakim and OG are going to play night to night. If Nurse is going to go with a free flowqing offense and no set rotations, then maybe that lack of consistency becomes a bigger issue than two new guys.
Boston with Hayward and Irving have two guys with a little rust but also have disrupted a bench that was rolling pretty well last season.
I am sure both teams can deal with their respective problems relatively easily, I just wondered if one team has a smoother ride of it.Tags: None
