WTF was that all about? what the hell is Dwane Casey thinking?
I think overall it was like 5/22 3 point attempts made? SO many wasted possessions. Yeesh.Last edited by iblastoff; Wed Mar 20, 2013, 09:53 PM.

Sorry, but Casey is not an NBA head coach. With no expectations, a brutal roster, and taking a the worst defensive team to average last year, he got a lot of well deserved respect. Unfortunately with raised expectations, a better roster, and leading an average defensive team back to the bottom third, he is getting a lot of well deserved criticism.
The 4th worst ppg, 3rd worst OffRtg, 1st worst fg% lights up what is suppose to be a defense first squad for 107 points?
40 ft attempts?
Jesus tonight.
3 time outs in crucial situations, 3 turnovers. And you know I am sure players are partly to blame but look at the play they ran on that last one, check the spacing and where guys were going. WHAT THE FUCK!?!?! Clearly it was to go to Amir and back to Lowry for a 3 but they are trying to inbound a basketball in to a key hole with the passes due to shitty spacing as a result of a shitty play.
I have zero confidence in Casey as a head coach moving forward. None. The roster has improved yet the team is just 2 games ahead of last year's pace where they were knowingly and admittedly awful. Casey continues to coach to his beliefs/systems/plays rather than maximizing the talent on the roster.
F*ck I'm pissed.... end of rant.... thanks for reading.

Think about it, Raps head coaches since Lenny was let go:
O'neill - rookie
Mitchell - rookie
Triano - rookie
Casey - 1 year experience

Matt and Leo piss me right off too.
"since going 4-19 to start, Raps are 22-22 (now 22-23). No question they are a .500 team and in the east that gets you in to the playoffs."
Ummmm, a few things:
1) Raps are now under .500 since 4-19 start because they lost for the 2nd time against the WORST team in the league.
2) .500 doesn't get you in to the playoffs in the east. .500 gets you tied for 8th with MIL who have won the season series with you.
3) Losing 2 games to the Bobcats (the worst team in the league) this season and barely beating them at home does not look like .500 ball to me.
4) a 9-25 road record does not scream .500 to me (8-11road record since 4-19overall/1-14road start).
I am so sick of listening to the hype and spin by blow hards like Matt and Leo. You really shouldn't get too hyped after a win and too down after a loss but this loss (and the one to Cleveland and Washington when playoffs were actually probable) are infuriating and show just how low of a ceiling the Raptors have as currently constructed and coached.

Would an established coach come to this situation? Ye$. Would any established coach come? No so no Jerry Sloan or PJax suggestions. But Adelman did go to Minnesota (and they paid royally to get him).
