Why the hell do the Raptors have such a tough time scoring?

Kevin O'Neill, their coach, is very defensive minded. Also, Vince Carter is their only real scoring option on offense. That should change a little now that they traded for Jalen Rose.

Alright let me see if I can try. Last year with Lenny Wilkens coaching the Raptors they were an absolute joke on Defence as just about every team putting up 100 points on them. After firing Wilkens and bringing in Neill they have stressed Defense which has come at the expense of the offence. Throw in the fact that Alvin Williams has been injured and struggles when he's in there and Antonio Davis is playing like a player that really wants out of Toronto and you're left with Vince Carter and Rookie Chris Bosh to carry the team offensively. I don't care how good a play Vince is, teams are double teaming him and forcing others to beat them and that isn't happening and what you are left with is an offensively challenged team playing good D and games in the 150's pointwise the norm. Won't change anytime soon.

Yeah, it's amazing that their record is as good as it is, considering they've only scored more than 100 pts in 1 game.

Look at this joke - losing by 13 pts to a 4-12 team

Sorry missed the news, I guess Davis got his wish after all.

Even if Carter werent there, how can a group of assholes at this level score at an average of like 68 points per game. I have no clue what the real average is but it cant be any higher than that :p

Its amazing, put together 5 kids from high school and they too will put up somewhere between 40 and 50 pts..
