NBA 2017-18: Top 5 Offenses Of The Regular Season

Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan

The Raptors completely undid their offensive philosophy through the offseason. Instead of dumping the ball in DeRozan and Lowry's hands at every opportunity and expecting the duo to score or create for their teammates, they move to a free-flowing offense, handing the keys of the offense to their individual players to make reads and generate shots on their own.

The results during the regular season, were, for a large part, a success. The Raptors were the only team in the league to rank among the top 3 in both defensive efficiency and offensive efficiency and possessed the 3rd best net rating among all teams in the league.

The revamped offensive scheme led to drops in production from both their All-Stars, but the rest of the Raptors made solid strides to compensate for this. The Raptors have been unfortunate to run into LeBron James in the playoffs for the last 3 years, but they really did a great job as a team this year during the regular season on both ends of the floor.
