I never thought I’d say this... but Fire Casey was a terrible idea. He’s a top 5 coach in the NBA. MIND YOU he’s only become this good this season. He’s been absolutely horrible the last few years. I don’t know why he’s hit the switch this yearX

VanVleet impressed me tonight, his calm play on both ends was the key to the Raptors comeback there. If Casey is smart, he plays down the stretch in the playoffs because Lowry looks :flabbynsick: already

I don't know if he'll be a starter in the future, but he's definitely going to have a long career in the league. I can't remember the last time somebody went from being a 4th string guard to closing out games in a year's time, besides Jeremy Lin and John Starks

Lowry just shoots 3s now if it drops it's great if it doesn't

Lowry averages 12 shots a game and 8 of them are 3s
I think that’s partly his age and partly him saving his body. He’s a small fat dude he can’t drive to the rim and bang against the Nets and Knicks. I garuntee he will increase his drives to the rim during the offs. I’m happy his shot is actually falling however. His deep range and quick release off the screen is pretty devestating.

im actually rooting for them in the playoffs this year. i was low key hoping for them to lose previous years because a) to fire casey b) that iso shyt was hard to watch and fraud as hell

What a time to be alive.

Alot of his coaching issues were that he relied on ISO Demar and Kyle and stated those were great shots and plays....so theres the fact thats mostly out the window now...The altered style has helped limit his bad decisions...My one casey criticism is hes still too damn slow to react to adjustments IN-game.

It reared its ugly head in the BKN game last night when Russell went off early and he didnt change anything on the floor...and went back to his starters too soon when the bench got them back in the game in the 2nd quarter....I still think he gives the starting 5 too much time to figure things out when theyre playing awful...

Let's say theoretically, IF they were to make the finals who would get home court?

Against Golden State or Houston? We wouldn't get home court against either of those teams right now because our record is worse.

Against GS? It's not THAT much worse.
We have one more loss and 2 less wins.

Right. I was just answering your question.

As of right now, we won't get home court. But realistically, we could catch up with GS record-wise especially considering their injuries.
