Everyone needs a little balance in their life.
The Raptors are no different.
But instead of finding some, say, equilibrium between work and play, they need to find a way to temper the kinds of shots they are getting through the infancy of the NBA season.
Even in the three pretend games that preceded Wednesday night’s season-opening loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, the Raptors were settling for too many three-pointers and not getting to the basket — and the foul line — on a nearly equitable basis.
They hoisted 46 threes on Wednesday, making just 14; they took only 43 traditional two-point field-goal attempts, converting 24.
