If Toronto had a better coach they could beat Cleveland in a playoff series this season. They are considerably deeper than Cleveland and could actually cause a few match up issues if he was smart enough to exploit Cleveland's short comings.
Casey is a great coach first of all. The team has improved every year and so has his coaching. To knock him for not exploiting the nba champions shortcomings is some ? since no one was able to and no one was expecting us to be anywhere near the position we were to do that so how's that on casey? Nothing wrong with his coaching right now and he has a great staff behind him.southsil4lil wrote: »#1hiphopjunki3 wrote: »I hate to say this because it isn't many black coaches in the league.

My sentiments exactly when it comes to Casey....Besides coaching if they can ever figure out there power forward situation(Sullinger hasnt played but I dont think hes the answer) and utilize Valanciunas more I think the Raptors would be legit contenders
If jv could defend the pick and roll worth a damn and have better conditioning we'd have the east on lock. He's such a great low post scorer but his defensive shortcomings get exposed often. Our defence lives off pressuring guards and making them either shoot long contested shots or directing them to shot blockers (we can't do ? about gsw shooting, and we can't stop Lebron getting in the paint and finding shooters) which is why biyombo last year and now bebe look like all nba defenders. Caseys system works. He needs a shotblocker and glass eater at the 5 tho with decent lateral quicks. Jv as good as he is just isn't that. So that might have to come from the 4 spot or jv gotta go.
Personally I think we already have our answer at the 4 in pascal siakiam. He's great at everything jv isn't making them a perfect fit he just needs a season or two to get his reps up.

I always thought Casey deserved some coach of the year recognition, why exactly do you think he's holding them back?
Casey is horrible with his player rotations I.e. He will pull hot players for no reason, the teams offense is atrocious (granted they are ranked as the best this season so far) to watch due to all the damn isolation plays ran by their back court and the guy has and still does totally not play solid players for no reason at all.
Here's the thing while all that was happening the Raptors were busy winning so maybe he actually knows what he's doing, although you might disagree with his coaching style there's a reason the Raptors finished one game back of Cleveland last year and 8 games ahead of the next best team and you can argue the talent was on the same level as every other team 3-6 in the east after losing veterans like Amir and Lou in the offseason and their big FA signing Demarr Carroll hardly playing at all and making zero impact, Terrence Ross is considered an underachiever, Valaciunas is slowly progressing (you can blame him for that but his decision making was obviously best for the team), Derozan was constantly complained about for his dumb shot selection and they didn't even want him back the only time you hear about Lowry is when he flops, so explain to me....who deserved the credit for a pretty successful season last year? -
Kings resting boogie and they not even on a back to back lol

why none of these nigs be hurt when the pelicans fly into town
dude coulda missed 32 games straight, but all of a sudden, they well enough to suit up against the pels
play the pels, drop a career high, then out for another 28 games due to injury -
Lebron I can understand. I'm pretty sure he has more minutes than anybody in the league right now.
Watch the NBA put a limit on the amount of games players can sit out. -

I was speaking overall. Nobody has played this much at this point in their career to my knowledge.
You got Boogie who never been close to the playoffs sitting out. That's lame. -

The point about the zone defense was actually pretty legit.
And I agree that the league is softer in terms of calls...but it definitely isn't weaker. -
I guess In the 90's the league was so called better cuz ? clotheslined ? they couldn't stop
