James Johnson Watch Week 19: What do the numbers say?

Last night, before the game against the Utah Jazz, a reporter began a question to head coach Dwane Casey by mentioning the Thunder's "death lineup" and saying the Raptors had arguably "the best lineup in the league, numbers-wise." He was talking about the combination of Kyle Lowry with the bench mob (Joseph, Ross, Patterson and Biyombo). It was quite an opener.

Casey's facial expression as this question was fired off was a wonder to behold. He said you can "make the numbers say what you want to say," which acknowledges the fact that, uh, the Golden State Warriors exist and the Kevin Durant-Russell Westbrook combo is a legit terror.
