BREAKING: Toronto Raptors fire Dwane Casey

[MikelArteta]

Not one raptor fan is sad to see Casey go

Only these coli e militants , not those who watched every raptor game on tsn and Sportsnet for the past 7 years

I don't know about that, Love got hurt in the first round and Kyrie only played in game 1.
The Hawks had 4 all-stars and the Cavs started TT, Shumpert, Mosgov and Delly

Kyrie played in more than 1 game. But the real story is that once Thabo went down the dynamics of that Hawks team changed drastically. Before we could run Thabo and Demare and lock down opposing wings completely, leading us to top 3 in defense. Once the police beat his ass then our defense dropped and we really had no shot against the Cavs.

Or maybe just go the Phil Jackson route and bring in Xs and Os assistants (ie. Tex Winters)
You'll be hard pressed to find any coach that develops talent better than Casey if we bein honest. It's easier to find the former rather than latter

See you dont know shyt and you just proved it...Stackhouse and his staff developed the talent on our bench.

 

[Miggs]

So the Raps think they can run it back with a different coach and the results will be different?

This year was their best chance to get to the Finals with the best team in the East decimated with injuries. Lowry/Derozan simply aren't good enough to beat Kyrie/ Hayward/Horford/Brown/Tatum and to a lesser extent Lebron.

Lowry/DeRozan AND Casey wasnt good enough...we cant take the coach out of this

What talent did Casey develop?

All the young players were developed by stackhouse, the new offense the raptors run was designed by Rex kalamian and Nick nurse

 

[Auger]

Why is everyone assuming this the only move Toronto will make this offseason?

 

[RammerJammer]

Kyrie was hurt as well as Love. Bud clearly dont got the answers

Getting cooked by Shump, Della, and Mozgov is not a good look

 

[CJ]

But I'm sayin tho, yall were infinitely trash af BC(before Casey) And more than likely will be after
Ungrateful lot u Raptors fans

Ungrateful toward who? Casey? Or the franchise? Raptors fans have supported this team to be top 10 and even top 5 the last few years in attendance/sell outs/season ticket renewals, even during bullshyt sub 20 win seasons. Even led the league in average playoff ticket cost when converted to USD.

Most wanted a combo of Casey + Demar/Lowry gone. Wasn't really one extreme or another. I want all 3 gone, with Lowry being the lesser of the evils after seeing Demar vanish again. Always starts with the coach though. 5 years with this core was a long enough test.

If Masai hadnt of stepped in last summer and TOLD him were running a new system,we'd still be running Lowry/DeRozan ISOs as our primary offense...

See you dont know shyt and you just proved it...Stackhouse and his staff developed the talent on our bench.

And Casey gets no credit for any of that? Not even just the bench....Lowry and Derozan too. Derozan was on his career path of bein Jamal Mashburn 2.0 and Lowry was a damn journeyman before landing in Toronto...but carry on

 

[Ganso Bomb]

is the atlanta coach still available?

He belongs in Milwaukee

 

[thatrapsfan]

This absolves the Raptors "stars" from having to accept any responsibility for they're failures. Good luck thinking Mark Jackson will take the Raptors further than Casey did

Masai isnt gonna hire Mark Jackson

 

[MikelArteta]

Casey was 21-30 in the playoffs and 4-5 in series

This is deplorable

 

[MikelArteta]

Masai tore into Casey after game three when he didn't double team James

Can't wait till this fraud Nigerian is canned as well

 

[#1 pick]

Getting cooked by Shump, Della, and Mozgov is not a good look

Bud is an excellent player development coach and tactician as well as excellent in getting players to play within that system but his play calling is meh, out of bounds plays is meh. His adjustments are good in the regular season but not so much in the playoffs. He is a better coach than Casey but not by much.

Toronto has a superstar problem, not a coach problem
