    I know the 3 ball has been our bread and butter in recent years, but I think we can get more dunks this year then in the previous 3 combined!

    We might even get some 3 points the old fashioned way at the line!

    I wonder how Stotts will do with a more run and gun team... For some reason I'm thinking we might have one of the fastest teams in the league this coming year without someone slowing the fast breaks down to do a back-down fade away.

    Comparisons to the Tracey/Carter Raptors?

    Not when most of our new players are shooting ~50% from the line

    Arh but with role models like Dame and Legend this could be easily improved. Even T-Rob improved!

    Potential points with the clock stopped is something to look forward to :)

    The blazers are loading up on athletic wings and big men that can finish above the rim. I'm all for getting as many looks right at the rim as possible. Ram the ball down the other teams throat. Mix in some shooters and a couple of passers and ya got a basketball team. I'm liking the direction the team is going. They'll take some lumps next year, but they'll sneak up on a few teams though.

    I like high post passing centers and back door cuts.

    And picks. And rolls.

    And good screens that open a cutting lane, a driving lane, or free a guy for an open shot.

    You went to Pete Carrill's "How to beat good teams on a bad team's budget" Camp, didn't you?
