Raptors and Celtics should both be better.. but whoever gets them in the playoffs will not have an easy time.

The cameroonian freak
Giannis Lite is way more accurate, right down to the lack of 3-pt shot.

Lowry-Green-Kawhi-OG-Siakam.
I'd like to see that against Golden State, holy.
What's working so well for the current starting lineup is everyone's ability to hit shots; Green is pretty much lights out this season, and Ibaka has barely missed a shot.Twitter: @ReubenJRD • NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.

I was just skimming through some team stats. Interesting that the one that correlates best with team success (Golden State, Bucks and Raptors are 1,2,3) is adjusted field goal percentage. That I'm sure also correlates with the "only 3's and shots at the rim" philosophy. I still feel that this works only if you have the right players. But the Raptors seem to have that with Siakam, Ibaka and JV scoring a lot at the rim and Lowry and Green hitting threes. Leonard is good at both and is the one guy we don't mind shooting midrange. This plus a solid defence (which should get even better) should assure a deep playoff run....at the least.
