Almost all of those teams besides Chicago, Washington and Cleveland will have significant cap space opening up too. Washington will have a ton of cap space in 2016 when Durant will be a FA too.

You guys are pathetic

 

[Ohene]

based on these "rumors" and playing time I wouldnt be surprised to see these fools move James Johnson instead of Terrence Ross and some other players.

 

[Guess Who]

So, I was wrong about the Derozan thing thus far.

The biggest issue I see is we literally only run one play and the same offensive set every time down the floor. High pick and roll. Teams have figured out how to defend it against us like the breh @Asantehene said--funnel ball handlers to the free throw line then collapse the house on them, taking away both the drive, mid-range jumper, and passing lanes. Even if we do get a pass to the perimeter we're throwing up bricks from 3 because defences are recovering well against our shooters who can neither do anything off the dribble, hit a mid-range pull-up, or make a competent pass. We've become terribly predictable and easy to defend for the past three weeks and Casey has done nothing to change it.

pretty much.

I messaged a friend of mine saying Casey's a trash coach after the Memphis L where James Johnson sat out the 2nd half. He said, "You're one of those guys eh? Where was this when the team was winning. Theyre just going through a slump."

But isnt that what separates a good coach from a trash one; the ability to adjust? It's been about 3 weeks now since the Portland game which was the last game of solid basketball they played. That's not just a slump. I swear some dudes dont watch basketball. I watch these Raptors games and feel like you can take Casey off the bench, replace him with a high school coach and the same result will happen. He makes no impact on the game with his decision making, adjustments or plays. Plenty of times he waits too long to call timeouts during runs too. He's trash til further notice

I feel the same way about Casey. The issue I've always had with him is his complete inability to make adjustments or to stick with what's working (like not playing Hansbrough--we were winning when Chuck Hayes was getting minutes). Casey is a coach that is good at setting structure and expectations, but he lacks ingenuity in his approach to games and in games as well.

I think part of the issue was when we were winning, we lived by the 3-ball and when they aren't sinking (3/23 or something against Memphis) you're destined to lose.
Substitution patterns have been suspect for quite some time now and one has to think that there are some locker room issues with James Johnson.
