12th Best offensive lol I wasn’t expecting this 😁 but when u got
All-NBA Bam.
Himmy.
Extra-motivated Herro.
Top-5 rookie.
Elevated Duncan.
QB Lowry.
Locksmith.
Martin.
JRich.
KLove.
I wonder what those ranks would be if you excluded the 4th quarter.
Don’t show Gus, according to him were still the 27th best offense in the league.
We loomin, fellas.
We aren’t a bottom 10 offense in the league? This really might be thw year of wr can integrate Herro properly bavk into this mix
8th best defensive rating is a little misleading tbh, I’d say they’re probably the best tbh. The box score won’t show it but most annoying team to dribble the basketball around in the league
Already better than last season. Let’s hope this upward trend continues into the playoffs. Honestly the Magic seem to be the newest threat in the East this season and we haven’t even played them yet.
I also suspect a rematch with the Bucks, Celtics or sixers in the playoffs. I think we can also secure a top 5 spot in terms of seeding.
Anything can happen in the playoffs but I like our chances this season to make it back to the ECF at a minimum. Upsets are always possible but our playoff experience gives us an advantage and in the same tier as the Bucks, Celetics and Sixers.
I think the Magic, Knicks and Pacers are a dark horse teams to make it past the first round though.
The stats and offense are normalizing to expected. We are figuring out rotations and cutting down on turnovers. We can be even better once Herro returns. More ball handling and shotmaking can never be understated.
