Casey wasn't the problem
Neither Lowry or Derozan are 1st option players

There can be more than 1 problem.

Just answer me this: Name me 1 coach who he outcoached in the playoffs. He got outcoached by Jason Kidd TWICE!, Randy fukking Wittman...

His adjustments were made out of desperation never as an actual strategy or tactic.

DeMar is the main problem

Casey was the secondary problem

Lowry isn't really a problem. He played well in the playoffs. Lowry actually gets hindered playing with DeRozan.

Masai is low key another problem with the way he handed out contracts to Ibaka and DeMar.

People caping for Casey like he didn't let CJ Miles get switched onto Kevin Love and get taken to school over and over again in Game 2.

Or play JV on Love when it was clear the Cavs were playing 5 out and was abusing him.

By the end of the series dude was just throwing darts out there......playing Bebe and shyt.

A better coach would have gotten more out of this team, even with the culture reset.

Also this team lost a ton of winnable games in which they held leads and struggled against elite competition in the regular season. Its time for a change.

He took m as far 6 games, not many teams in the east can say that. But you gotta revamp that roster. I think it’s unfair to casey who just had the second best record in the league.

Its not unfair,they had expectations that werent met,thats what happens in this world when you dont meet expectations you get fired.

They couldnt win 1 game,Casey had more than enough warts to justify this decision...

Its not cause you lost,its cause you werent competitive...Pacers won 3 games and you couldnt get 1 as the top seed and HC...time for a change...

Demar is not going to be traded
And the slight chance he'd be moved it will be to la near his children.

Raptors have been burned by stars leaving DeMar actually was the first above average home grown player that wanted to stay

while this is true, firing Casey damn sure isnt the answer if the roster stays the same. also, Demar may have peaked as a player this year.

the question is are they going to blow it up? because just firing Casey doesnt get them any closer to the Finals. Demar has the most trade value, so he would be at the head of talks.

It was a different matchup with the Pacers..they got swept last year too with the same coach breh. Sometimes the players are at fault.

It’s your team tho bro. :hubie:I respect your opinion.

disagree, Casey was going to get fired anyway if they lost to the Cavs this year because this was the third time. there is no point in being JUST competitive but cant get to the Finals. even Pop wouldnt have gotten that roster past Lebron this year. like I always say, the East is weak BECAUSE of Lebron. he is responsible for breaking up more teams and sending them West and more coaches getting fired than any other factor in the East. Casey was a Bron casualty.
