"They have too many weapons to be stationary in isolation over and over again"

Sounds like a relevant criticism of the Raptors. Yes, I know, the Raptors don't run isolations, but many of their actions are designed to feign a pick to get a switch for DD/Lowry to reset up top and attack downhill, which is in essence an advantageous isolation.

Regardless of play type semantics, Raptors do find themselves stationary too often, whether by design or by plays breaking down, forcing late clock 1v1.

Cavs trying to blitz/hard hedge has yielded open layups for Warriors. First time Curry misses scoop shot then now Draymond drives down for the dunk.

Cavs have barely been looking for the three all game. I wonder if that's by design or they're just reluctant to shoot.

I don't know what to think anymore. Curry and Klay are without a pulse at the moment.
