It must've been Stripes. He's been a no-show all year!

This Stripes?

I am seeing guys with huge egos out there, example, Lowry, got voted to the all star game, now he thinks he can do whatever he wants and get away with it.

If egos were the problem, we'd start to hear rumblings off the court. There's been no indication that these guys don't like each other (yet).

Lowry, like everyone on the roster, has taken his share of dumb shots. To me, that points to a systemic/strategic flaw. If everyone has the green light to chuck, I point my crosshairs at the coach.

Edit: I mean, we even have James Johnson thinking he can hit shots outside of 10 feet. He should never be shooting....ever

That stripes is great, but I meant our MVP from a year ago...

I think I like the movie Stripes better...

Dwane caseys coaching style is a relic from eras past, where 4th quarters would come down to best player vs best player. He always touts post game "we just missed our shots" like, how lame can you be? He thinks offense comes down to a coin flip, ah well, they didn't drop today. Its like he actually sees no correlation between shot selection and shots made. He truly is a dinosaur of 90s basketball.

I'm not convinced that guys are intentionally trying to be selfish. We've seen this same group play very unselfishly, and succeed.

I honestly think it's a lack of discipline. It's waaay easier to just shoot, rather than prod and work for a good shot.

Edit: Casey isn't doing anything to deter the lazy, dumb decision-making.

DC doesn't hold all players accountable.

[Day One]

Do you think he knows how bad he is, I mean do you think when he goes over the game tape he understands that other coaches are adjusting after the first half and like I mean man I just don't get it. Are the assistant coaching saying stuff to him but just being ignored. I wonder is Kyle and Demar understand that he is a terrible coach. its not fair that we have to keep watching him destroy our team and the development of our youth.

Did casey make JV sit out the 10th frame?

I'd be thrilled if he only took 15 shots

15 FGA, that's a slow half for Demar. More like 10-32.

Raptors went bowling last night. Guaranteed win.

Demar was trying to bounce his ball over the gutters and knock down the pins one lane over; he said he's actually better at that than he is shooting into his own lane.
