As with Golden State, having all these outsider
shooters, who just play limited minutes, means they
get on the floor and hoist them up, so as to try and
get hot and stay on the floor for more minutes.

Sam, trying to find a hot hand, can;t get the so
called right combination because they just don;t get
the touches to get in the flow.

Hence experimenting to see who is hot and who is not,
is a rather hit or miss coaching choice, that usually
won;t work.

And when we have two exceptional point guards, who
control the ball a whole lot, again the touches may be
limited for the others, who just don't get the feel
and flow of the game enough to contribute.

And when we just don't have any inside presense,
almost all are hoovering around the three point line
and no body on the off side is close to rebounding,
and it is one and done.

Too many players of the same caliber, and sdame
shooting style, as most think they are three point
shooters, and no body has the muscle or quicks to go
inside. Bosh tries, but eventually, he will be roughed
up and injured if he keeps trying. He's got guts, but
he ain't a goin to last, when other teams are bigger
and stronger inside than us. He will get injured, and
then the RAPTORS will be dead meat or easy meat for
the opposition prey.
