Offense and three-point shooting have become the undeniable blueprint for success in today’s NBA. The Golden State Warriors have confirmed the new paradigm: a three-point shooting team can win multiple league titles. While it used to be that “defense wins championships,” the NBA has now clearly morphed into a shooters’ league.
The Raptors experienced this firsthand last year, shooting a dismal 33 percent from deep throughout their short playoff run. This year could be very different however, with the addition of sharpshooter C.J. Miles, who has given the Raps a dimension they’ve been seeking for years.
