In last season’s playoffs against the Celtics, watching the Raptors offense was like the “Scott’s Tots” episode of The Office — you know pretty early where the story is headed, but it’s still painful to watch it play out. We knew coming into the playoffs that Toronto’s lineups had issues scoring in the halfcourt, and that’s exactly what we saw against a stout Celtics defense. The Raptors other end was almost enough to make up for it, but... well, you know the rest.
We’ve seen some of those half court struggles play out this season too.
