The Raptors are actually running a few nice plays. Tricking Whiteside to shade left on a pick so Wright has the lane on the right is pretty high level stuff for Casey.

Brook Lopez and Jeremy Lin are starter quality players. The only questionable on the Suns is Booker and his biggest weakness is defense.

That was a pretty solid win from the Raps. Heat came out swinging but they pulled their poo poo together. It was helpful that the Heat started missing all their 3s but the Raps were good and the Wright really played well

It was a good flop by Griffin, you can't convince me a tiny man could shove over that guy with that amount of ease.

So today, the Raptors won the game with a total of 10 assists and 17 turnovers. This leads to a few funny numbers questions.

1) What's the lowest assist total a team has had this year while still winning? There's actually only been one other game this year where the winning team scored 10 or less assists. The Bulls beat Utah back in November with 8 assists.

2) People talk all the time about point guards AST/TO per game ratio. What about team AST/TO for this season?

I couldn't find that on BBREF so I made a quick chart.



I guess I probably shoulda cut off some digits but w/e.

Raw assist numbers: Toronto comes in last with 18.3 a game. This is one APG behind second last ranked Pheonix Suns. Meanwhile, GSW averages an insane 30.3 assists a game, 5 over the second ranked Rockets.

Assist/TO: Raptors are bad, but not dead last. If it's any consolation, the Suns and the Nets are kinda in a league of there on this one. Goddamn. No one thinks of Hornets as being in the Warriors league, but they're the only team sniffing their top ranked ratio.

Of the teams in the bottom 8, only three are good: The Raptors, Jazz, and Thunder (sorry Atlanta fans). What I find slightly interesting is that they all accomplish having bad AST/TO in different ways. For the Thunder, that's the Westbrook effect. They play crazy wild basketball. He averages tons of assists (and tons of TO's), but I suspect that if you looked at the numbers of assists for teams minus their starting point guards the Thunder would be last by far. Meanwhile the Jazz play vintage slow basketball and let Hayward and Hill split the ball handling, with neither really being assist machines.Toronto plays much closer to the pace of OKC than the Jazz, but we don't have a crazy ball dominant point guard surrounded by turnover machines. So what are we doing? Well, you know my spiel by now and I can't quite find the Iso% numbers to back it up, but we're iso-ing a shitload through Derozan (and Lowry when he's around). Raptors draw an insane number of free throws, and that also skews assist numbers because assists that generate FT points aren't counted in traditional stats.

But seriously -- We're barely trailing the Rockets in FT's made so far this year (by 13, both played 71 games) but per /100 possessions the team leads the league in FT's made, beating the Rockets by a solid .8 .

Any ways, I'm pretty sure that teams that win by shooting FT's die in the playoffs, but Derozan was on fire tonight so he gets a pass from me.

JJ is strong as poo poo for his size, but starting poo poo because a dude 14 inches shorter than you screened you too hard? That was the weakest poo poo I've seen in a long time.

Barea didn't set a screen. Blake and Deandre set screens, and Barea pushed Griffin out of frustration or something. No one was trying to start a fight, and they were talking to each other just a few seconds later.
