Do you know what tends to happen in the NBA when teams with an inefficient offense, an efficient defense AND a winning W-L record meet up with teams like the Raptors [good offensive efficiency + historically poor defensive efficiency]? In general ... those poor offensive teams get a considerable boost from the relatively "bad" D played by their high-scoring opponent, that is not capable of putting up the same number of average points scored per game against a 1st-class defensive squad as they normally do vs the other less-than-top defensive teams in the league. As I identified on Sunday ... i.e. <a href="http://khandorssportsblog.com/wordpress/2009/11/22/raptors-crunch-time-starts-today-vs-magic/" rel="nofollow">Raptors' crunch time starts today vs Magic ... this stretch of games [i.e. #15-20] is going to be a key indicator for the remainder of the Raptors' season.

As I identified on Sunday … i.e. Raptors’ crunch time starts today vs Magic … this stretch of games [i.e. #15-20] is going to be a key indicator for the remainder of the Raptors’ season.
