Jack: "It's happened again. He's going to have to sub out and get a fresh pair of shorts."
Matt: "..off the front of the rim. You know Jack, this has been an issue for a lot of Raptors' players this year."
Jack: "That's right Matt, and the organisation is still not sure what's causing it. I used to think it was too much pre-game poutine, haha, but Raptors brought if chefs for the all the back-court players and we've yet to see any positive effects"
Matt: "Raptors scrambling back on defense, it's a five on four, as [Insert shooters name of choice] is struggling to get back..."
Jack: "Well, we can see the effect that this is having, not just on the offense but the defense as well. It's just harder to run when you've got your cheeks squeezed together like that."
Matt: "Some nifty passes on break leads to lay-up at the rim, Raps down 16 and Casey calls time out, well be right back with the Dependable" Player of the Game.

Announcer: "And now it's time for the Dependable Player of the Game. Brought to you by Depends. When others are relying on you to perform, don't let incontinence get in your way. [Clip airs of player of your choice missing 6 jumpers and hitting the 7th] Depends, performance you can rely on.

I think it all started when DeMar got injured and Kyle `put the team on his back'. The iso-heavy offense started, and when DeMar returned, the team did not go back to sharing the ball. I'm surprised at how often I read about the Raptors getting to be third in offensive efficiency base on iso-heavy offense, with the writers completely forgetting about the nice team ball being played at the beginning of the year when we had our best stretch of games. It was a lot of fun to watch in the beginning, and i don't see why Casey can't get us back to that style next year, although Kyle's new all-star sized ego might be an impediment.
