    Every picture I see of Dwane Casey he is scowling, yelling, and looking generally quite unhappy. If he is that way with world champion Dallas, I think a heart attack is imminent in Toronto.
    Fourth tough shot in a row while on a cold streak:


    Failure to lay solid pick:


    Lack of foresight or effort to get positioning resulting in an offensive rebound allowed:


    Sixth blown play on defense of the game:

      IMO hes a good signing who will get the most defensively out of guys like Demar and JJ who may have underperformed under Triano.

        I never had the impression that Triano was consulted about draft picks because there never seemed to be a clear impression of what the team was under him. With Casey, there is clarity that the focus is to improve defensively, so I would imagine he would be consulted on whom to draft if they are using that 5th pick. Does this mean the likely pick would be a defensive specialist like Leonard, Biyombo etc.? I'd like to think the Raptors are going to be pro active and go after a player rather than wait to see what the teams ahead of them are going to do.

          Awesome. First job for Casey: convince the rest of the organization not to draft Vesely. If he does that, I'll consider is tenure to be off to a good start.

            No Vesey, no Biyombo... Give this guy a chance.

              Given his defensive expertise he might be the perfect coach for Biyombo.

                Could we be looking at another Tom Thibodeau? I hope so.

                    This comment is brilliant but depressing at the same time. Hilarious because it's so true but disappointing how negative the press/fans are towards our coaches and players.

                      I'm pumped by this hiring. Will someone FINALLY hold the team accountable for defense!!!

                      While I'd like Leonard for our 5th pick, I also wonder what The Raps would do with JJ and LK? Also, is everyone sold that Knight is better than Kemba? I say draft Kemba (who's used to winning and a leader), trade Bayless (sorry, I'm not a fan...) and look to FA for a Center; perhaps Hayword.

                      AM I crazy???

                        phhttt...that implies that fans will actually wait for results. that seems like a pretty ridiculous request. has firedwanecasey.com been registered yet?

                              Remember when he was benched in the finals in favor of Mahimi?

                                You might be. Are you talking about Brendan Haywood? He isn't a free agent, but he's really good at playing hard only on contract years.
