For sure. But how many are also big Serie A fans?

Butler's possible injury is a big debate right now ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/s6X3FQ5.jpg) Excellent graphic but it fails to show that Butler's 3 pointers fell off a cliff 6 weeks ago Zach Lowe discusses it in the article posted above. I wonder if he has some kind of shoulder or elbow problem that only flares up when practicing long shots. So he can do everything.. but practice 3 point bombs. So he took it out of his game. When I was recovering from "golfer's elbow" I couldn't practice over hand basketball passes for several months. Obviously, the entire league already picked up on this months ago and defenses are playing off of Butler. | ||

Yah, found out from that Zach Lowe article that they give up a lot of 3s too, I think it was even ahead of Milwaukee when that article was written. I guess it does sound like a sound strategy. Nobody has the number of good 3 point shooters as the old Golden State team and even that team was suffering from a lack of depth late in their run. They were pretty much down to Steph and Klay. With that said, a very depleted Warriors team was a Klay injury from taking their series to game 7 last year. There are a few teams like the Rockets now who are taking more 3s than peak Warriors but they are more about volume than accuracy. Maybe the Bucks and Raptors figure their offense can outscore the worst 3 point shooters of the other team on most nights. Not a bad gamble really. | ||

Lowry's consistent recklessness is a methodology ... its a strat. When Lowry plays a team with more talent he hacks and slashes and mucks it up with the Raptors following his lead ... it turns into a clusterfuck that any one can win. Golden State had more "talent". Toronto won. meh. i'll be shocked if Lowry makes it thru the 2020 playoff run without either hurting himself or at least one other player. If you got a problem with that... at least you know Lowry's room #. its 836. | ||

I'd have Norm Powell run the Raptors offense for as many possessions as possible until the playoffs begin. | ||

Red flags popping up for the Bucks. Giannis got ejected for head butting a guy. Korver is not very talkative, so when he talks you have to listen. | ||

https://old.reddit.com/r/torontoraptors/comments/i9186z/i_stumbled_across_this_while_i_was_on_twitter/g1cbj9q/ t by not doing so he put the franchise in a somewhat precarious position after they just placed him on a pedestal yesterday. If that’s the case, I don’t see this ending well for Griffin very shortly. | ||

Yet the current headline on ESPN as of this post is: "Jazz's Mitchell on costly miscue: 'That's my fault'" I get that in the end, it's all about the win, but that's quite the glass half empty headline | ||
