Hey you bunch of old farts, get off your mules with all this "I'd rather win than have dunks" false dichotomy. It's the flippin' NBA - we want wins AND great dunks!
Seriously though, TR and DD have never been able to elevate in traffic. They both need a clear path to the basket. And OP is right - remember those Ross breakaway dunks last year? I don't think I've seen one this year.
Interesting that the Raps play at a slowish pace, but still manage to feel like they're putting pressure on the D by pushing the ball and jumping into the offence early. This is a BIG difference between Jose and Lowry (uh oh, here it comes!) - Jose would dribble at the top of the key to get everybody set up before running the O, while Lowry mixes it up by sometimes waiting for screens/the play, sometimes attacking immediately off the bounce, and sometimes launching quick early-shot-clock 3's from Bay St. I like it.
