The Mavs have an MVP contender this season and the Raps don't. The Mavs are also the third best three point shooting team in the NBA. The Raps not so good...but improving!! Another stat. The Raps are 29th in free throw shooting percentage. I didn't know we were that bad, but it's something that needs to get better. Perhaps if Trent ever got to line it would.
Best hope for the Raps is that the Mavs are gassed from a tough loss they had last night in Cleveland.

Always fun when two teams with bottom-10 defenses face off. Raptors started okay, but have regressed a bit, while the Mavs are shooting close to 60%. This is not good.
Also not good: Scottie's 3-point shooting. Is that because he's being used differently? Is he tired? Just regressing to mean? He's below the league average of 0.360 now... which isn't terrible, but nothing like when he was shooting around 0.400.

Now here's a game where the lack of OG makes a huge difference...

Plus/minus is mostly a garbage stat ... but how is it that GTJ the only Raptors with a positive plus/minus this game?

First half was OK and I think this was a winnable game but that third quarter sunk them.
Trent is wearing my patience thin. Hardaway had better stats in less minutes AND he comes off the bench. Trents ceiling is about as good as Hardaway and I'm not certain he's going to even reach that.
