The Toronto Raptors have played eight games so far. Eight games isn’t a lot, but it is enough to make a couple of definitive judgments.
With what we know so far, I gathered the best questions from Facebook/Twitter and gave my thoughts:

The Raptors are playing at a slower pace, running more isolations, and shooting fewer threes (compared to the rest of the league), than they did under Dwane Casey. Many of the changes we expected to see, we haven’t thus far.
The most significant change has to be moving Serge Ibaka to a full-time center.
