has anyone ever been fired a day after winning coach of the year?

no coach is gonna change anything. the raptors are who they are. derozan is a 2nd option on a championship team, and lowry is a 3rd....and I'm being generous with that.

This. I don't care what they're record is they weren't going to beat LeBron with those two as your main weapons. And they certainly weren't getting past Boston.

I'm genuinely curious about the expectations from Toronto if they're throwing all this shade at this man. I never seriously thought they'd beat Bron. I never seriously thought any team would beat Bron this year. I wasn't even concerned when the Pacers took them to 7. The man is just too good in the playoffs.

I wonder if Masai, Demar, and Lowry now know since they scapegoated Casey there ain't no one else to take the fall next year. They gotta get to the finals no matter the coach or they should all get fired now.

I think this is moreso a result of the derozan benching.

if that didn't happen, he'd still be the coach.


You basically saying if the wizards played like a different team they could have won
Wizards stunk


they got too much going on in the locker room.

Really doe.

They need a muthafuccin' POWER FORWARD (from America), who weighs 250 pounds and
can get them some baskets inside off putbacks of Derozan and Kyle's misses.

These guys don't get it

Casey was 2-14 in the past 16 against the Cavs, lost ten in a row. Only won one game 1, even the year we made it to the conference finals was rescued by norm friggin powell

Will the raptors win 59 next year nope, but who cares about regseason success

Any coach would have won with these players

People who didn't even watch raptors games are telling us who watched every single game and saw Casey over and over know how crappy he is

dont sit here and say regular season dont mean shyt because it does. without it, you dont get to the playoffs, you dont get home court. I am not surprised Casey got fired or even upset that he did. but this is the best coach in the franchise's history. so if your stance is, take him away and now you will have more success, well good luck with that. only if Lebron goes West. then you still gotta worry about Boston and Philly and possible rise of Mil and Was. so you think by winning less games next year your team will be better?

by your logic, D'Antoni aint shyt, Pop aint shyt, cuz regular seaon dont mean shyt if you cant beat the Warriors, right?

the issue is the cast of players. like whoever the new coach is, he wont be any better with the same roster. blow the whole shyt up and stop putting all the blame on a coach who improved the team each year.

Thank you.

Just horrible, horrible coaching.

then why does Nate McMillan or Brett Brown still have a job? they basically gave away games against Cavs and Celts. Doc Rivers getting an extension and didnt even make the playoffs. this narrative that Casey is the worst coach in the league yet judged as the best this year by his peers has me like :gucci:

That's none of my business.

All I can tell you is that all these games we won in the regular season was not from good coaching.
