Casey put Miles on Love

that's the woat coaching decision in raptors history


Man what bothered me was the poetl, siakam, miles, wright and van bleet had the raptors up by 9 and Casey went back to the starters.

If it's working there is no need to change.

Philly did the same.thing, McConnell had them up and they went back to Simmons.

Look at the Cavs lue goes with who is hot

Do you want to win future championships?

Idgaf about the Raptors but if you guys want to be a good ass team, start over. Lose Derozan and Lowry and start trusting the process. Toronto can get 2 Superstars out of the next 4 drafts if they do this in the offseason, you arent winning any rings with these guys period. getting swept in the finals isnt a successful season.

Which is why i also said Portland and Washington shouldve been blew up there teams.

There's no guarantee you'll become a Future Champ. Build on what you have now.

It make no sense sinking this team. This is the most engaged Toronto fans have been since the VC days. Toss that away for 5+ years of struggle? Naw. That's not a plan. We got to pay for talent and fill holes.

Every era we go through this. We get a solid core, we don't sign talent, then we dismantle the team and become mediocre, then repeat.

For game 3 I approve the above fukkery to take place. Cavs don't break 60, but do we even score 40?

Seattle needs to get their team back so I can pretend it's 94 and be a Sonics fan again.

Yeah, youd be a terrible GM.

Raps are top 5 in attendance and consistently making the 2nd round or better. I don't think the owner is throwing that away to suck for 5 years. Maybe Lebron will get old or head West. Ride it out.

Boston, Philly is still in the way if Bron retires or leaves. Derozan and Lowry are getting older, the other teams are getting better. Lets say the Raps make the 2019 finals and gets swept, never makes the finals again....thats a worthless struggle / run

I always thought the biggest mistake was going to a more offensive minded philosophy.

The "culture" in Toronto should have been all about defense, while surrounding Derozan and Lowry with defensive specialists and 3-and-D wings.

It's sickening watching Derozan play defense. With his athleticism and size there's no reason he shouldn't be at least a competent defender in this league. That failure falls completely on the Raptors organization and coaching staff.

You can't outscore Cleveland. That's been the wrong approach by any team in the East since Bron returned. You have to defend...period. Indiana should've gotten the Cavs up outta there, and they were in that position because Nate McMillan emphasizes defensive structure and effort. That's the "culture" in Indiana.

Just a completely wrong approach to beating the Cavs.

Now, the whole organization should be nuked.

Siakam and OG are supposed to be defenders though

Anunoby is already there best wing defender and will be a beast in 2 years...he aint going nowhere.

I have said he'll be the future when Demar and Lowry are gone in 2 years with whatever else they put with him...

Why does Casey insist on playing DeRozan with the bench ??? it doesnt work,it has not worked all season,why do we still force it on this team ???

Just play the 5 man bench together without DD it works better without ball stopping and a weakness on defense at the 2...

Anunoby already has the three considering he tore his ACL last year his second year improvrment will be massive.
