Statistically they are the number 1 offense from off rating and efficiency. They are the 13th best defense. The Warriors are #2 offense but they are also #2 defense giving them the highest overall rating. Jazz BTW are #3 defense and #8 offense.

That was before last three games. GSW surpassed them now.

This is where analytics make people retarded.

Toronto has an offensive efficiency of 113.5 to Golden States 113.1. Thats why you believe they have a better offense. But in reality, Golden State is a much better offense. I know that because I can see with my eyeballs and brain, the entire picture. I know that Golden State has the best shooter ever, and 2 more of the best shooters ever. If you did an experiment of having both teams play offense only agaisnt the same team defense, I would bet Golden State would score more points. Golden state averages more points per game 117 to 110. I expect Golden State to win the championship, and its mainly because of their offense. Toronto has no chance of winning the championship. I know that Golden State is still working out the kinks of having a new player. Golden State has 3 elite offense players to Toronto's 2 sorta elite offensive players,. etc..

I could go on further, but the point is, analytics dont tell the whole story. Especially when the difference is an offensive efficiency 113.5 to 133.1. There is ALWAYS more to the story. People who try win an argument with an analytical stat are stupid.

Analytics do not tell the whole story for an individual but they do for a team. There is not more to the story then how many points your team scores and how many points you give up. The best way to tell how good your offense is as a team is off of that stat. The only argument would be strength of schedule and Toronto has played the harder schedule thus far. Maybe GS isnt trying as hard but that still doesnt change the fact that currently Toronto's offense is better than GS. GS maybe could step up and will in the playoffs but they are not doing that right now. You are arguing with a fact about coulda woulda shoulda's.

I dont really care about the rest of this discusssion. GS is a much better team than Toronto but they do not currently have a better offense. I dont really care what your eyes tell you since they seem wrong a lot. A lot of GS shooters are way down from last year, such as Curry.

Oh my hell.

So you believe Curry is not the same capabale shooter as last year? You dont think that trying to get Durant acclimated has anything to do with his numbers being down? You dont think Durant taking an enormous amount of shots and having a high usage has anything to do with Curry not producing the same. Of course you know that. But you chose to make bad point for the sake of arguing.

Those are all besides the point. It's a fact they are the best offense. Those are just excuses or projections. I'm sure GS is figuring things out and probably will improve and their chemistry will improve. That has not happened yet, so far this season the raptors have a better offense. If you are asking me to predict who will have the best offense in the future that is a different discussion.

@ESPNSteinLine
The Pelicans are in the process of finalizing a one-year deal with Donatas Motiejunas at the veteran minimum, according to league sources.
 
Remember when OKC had Harden, Westbrook, AND Durant?

Morons.
