Whats frustrating is Casey isnt empowered to do anything about it now,cuz hes let him slide on being a lazy defender from Day 1....Can you imagine a coach like Popovic on this time,he'd be going irate on Demar and tbh alot of other guys....I cant understand how metrically we were a top 5 defense at any point...

When are we going to start talking about Masai?
blazers could use a good back up pg who can play D.
I can make a long list of why but it won’t change the reality that coaching is a big and recurring issue in every playoff series. This is Casey’s eighth playoff series with us and he has not won a series in fewer than six games. He has lost lost more series as the higher seed than he has won. At a certain point you gotta figure that maybe the guy just can’t get it done.how did it manage to get worse, you only lost by a few the first time
Exactly what I was trying to explain a couple pages ago. This team has players with shytty habits that the coach has not done enough to squelch or change. Casey is great at a few things like getting his players to buy-in and play hard every game. He’s good at team chemistry. He’s good at a lot of the soft skill stuff. But he’s trash at the finer details and those things really matter in the playoffs.
Send this team to Vancouver 
Why can't DeMar guard LeBron?
Paying this guy 30 mill to guard Jr Smith?
If LeBron is gonna drop 43 anyways put DeMar on him and get og non offensive ass out of there
Siakam on love

Who goes first DeMar or Kyle? Kyle right?
I can't see Casey staying eirher but Toronto would have to move quick if they intend go with Stackhouse. He's already fielding offers from other teams.
If they keep DeMar they need to pair him with someone that is better than him.

I would think Lowry just because of age and Demar being a career Raptor. You probably could get a better return on a demar trade though
Casey will probably be the lone sacrifice of this series....My fear is they are going to bring back the same team next year.They are cap strapped,they cant do much,they dont have desirable contracts....As much as we will talk about wanting to move DeRozan i think its unlikely Masai will do it...
We will be in the position of underdogs next year where nobody expects anything and that will be this teams mojo for the next 2 seasons...
Who is going to want Lowry at 32 making 31-33 million per season for the next 2 ?
I dont think you can move him.
DeMar cant guard anyone much less Lebron....Its honestly stupid to even try it.
Demar on Bron/Love and CJ MIles on Love are two huge coaching blunders....I know Casey at times is lookig to try anything cuz nothign is working but you cant sell out and go with matchups that have no shot in hell....thats almost like giving up.
Minnesota could use him
