You seem to be stating that the only people complaining about DC are "JV fanboys", implying that the only complaints being made about DC are related solely to JV.
Myself and others have tried to explain the wide variety of issues we've had and continue to have with DC's coaching or, at the very least, the decisions/strategies that leave us lowly fans scratching our heads.
If I've misunderstood the previous posts of yours that I've quoted, then by all means please clarify your stance.

I appreciate you restraining yourself but, as I recall from past discussions, your desire to type such things had more to do with your inability to grasp the nuances of the points being raised by posters who you yourself decided to lump into "hater" or "tanker" groups for convenience sake.
Unfortunately, you seem to be repeating your mistake, by making "JV fanboys" and "DC haters" one in the same, to make it easier for you to turn a blind eye to the actual points being raised, rather than actually paying attention to what those you're trying to lump together are actually saying (sometimes even directly to you).
Maybe Masai is the one who doesn't grasp the nuances because you guys have been saying this for years. It must really suck that nobody's listening to your pleas to fire Dwayne Casey.

All we can do is watch the on-court product, and try to gauge impact based on that. Has anything about the Raptors play significantly changed over Casey's years, including through different assistants? At best only slightly.
Hard to really judge them beyond that, except Nurse, Bayno and Sterner all have what look like decent coaching resumes.

The improvements to his game he displayed last year are pretty much back to his career averages. He continues to be less and less efficient and Casey rides him more and more while he brings less to the game.Last edited by tDotted; Tue Jan 20, 2015, 07:39 PM.

*What you seem to think is obnoxious is people trying to use adult language and evidence-based (even if imperfect) opinions...meanwhile everything with you is about "haters" and "fanboys" and lacks any depth or sense of objective perspective.
*Note: I quoted this one post, but I am referring to your whole set of posts.Last edited by white men can't jump; Tue Jan 20, 2015, 07:22 PM.

Quick side note that may or may not be of significant: my good friend that knew BC's assistant (who's still quite close to Casey) had dinner with Casey and his wife a few weeks prior the season. Naturally, as a die hard raps fan, I needed a recap of any conversation he had with him. Obviously it was a casual dinner so my friend didn't want sound like an interviewer, but he kept mentioning how much Casey RAVED about Lou's offensive play. He quoted Casey saying "the biggest surprise for me so far is how good Lou Williams is."
I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but I don't think it's too farfetched to think Casey might've been too influenced by Lou. I mean, one of the most frustrating things Casey says is that our offence is based around getting to the line. Isn't it quite obvious, especially since the Raptors have rarely been a whistle favourite, that it's unsustainable. We lost several games last season and a few this season due to a player relying on a foul call in crunch time.

The love for this team amongst fans last season was because of our hard team play (and winning, of course). Despite our top 5 offensive rating and record this season, it's clear how different our play looks this year. And all we've done is add JJ and Lou.

Yes, getting to the free throw line is an important part of our offence but I just don't see it as reliable during close games and sustainable through the course of an 82 game season. I'd be genuinely curious to know what past contenders have employed this offensive strategy.

It's a long season.....what matters is how we're playing once we enter the playoffs. Can you explain how we're 27-14 with such a bad coach? I guess we must have a championship roster or something....Last edited by Mindlessness; Tue Jan 20, 2015, 08:45 PM.
