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.

so Casey has been horrible for 7 years? :francis:

I dont want to be too hard on Lowry and Derozen but they just need more, they cant do it themselves.

real talk, I said if Serge played like he did later in the season in the playoffs, the Cavs would have problems. I also said I didnt trust Serge to do shyt, he has been a let down in the past. CJ Miles is pretty easy to stop. Powell doesnt even get off the bench. Ujeri is at as much fault of not more than Casey for building this roster. get rid of those guys wholesale and get you some good fukkin starters.

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:
Simple. Those teams don’t feel like they’ve peaked.

You know how fukked up the Raptors gotta feel right now? They’ve gone as far as they can go and barring a miracle improvement from within, this is what they are.

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.
well said

I really dont think this applies to them though. First game is soooooo pivotal. When they lost the 1st game to the Cavs after the Cavs played like shyt, it took all the wind out of them. Cavs took their heart. You cant coach it back into them at that point. either get rid of Lowry/Derozen or keep those two and OG and get rid of everyone else. I wouldnt say they have gone as far as they have gone either. Just think had Indy beat the Cavs, then Raptors could be headed to the Finals. ANY team in the East is in for it when they face Lebron, especially as he is playing better than ever right now. They keep drawing the Cavs and NOBODY is beating Lebron 4 games in the East, NOBODY.

As I said earlier, you can't fire the players. That's part of why Casey is gone. It's a major shake up that doesn't require gutting the roster because gutting the roster is a lot harder to do.

If they keep running into the Cavs and can't beat them, then they've gone as far as they go. If you're a 59 win team and you're praying someone else eliminates Cleveland, then you feel inferior.

I get why they fired him but who can they hire that could possibly be better than Casey?Dude was a top 7 coach in the NBA and the best black coach overall.

they are inferior though. lol. they cant beat the Cavs with that roster whether Casey is there or not. like here is the question....who are they going to get to be the next coach? no good coach is taking that job unless they know there will be significant roster changes or knows that Bron is going West.

What good are better starters if you can't make plays?

You're looking at this at the right angle. That's why I'm not hard on Derozen and Lowry. I see the shytty run offense.

Raptors got overlooked in previous years. Not happening now. Casey is getting exposed.

This was not on DeRozan, Masai already made his mind up after game one.

As I said this was dumb. The raptors will not beat Lebron until he is old or they stack the deck in their favor.

Firing the brotha Casey will not resolve anything.

Also like I said they are the late 80s to early 90s cavs that could not get past MJ and the Bulls. They also fired the great Lenny Wilkins after being swept in 93 by the bulls. Only to never get out of the first round again until the great Lebron James was delivered to them.
