A win is a win but WTF Casey can't coach either offensively or defensively.
You don't give up huge leads and you don't let players shoot jump shot after jump shot.
He has no strategy on getting the ball inside and having the team score on pick & rolls.
Where is the defense isn't that what Casey was hired for?
The coaching staff disgusts me.
Obviously Casey and staff aren't getting fired during this year but looking forward to offseason when they are let go.

Man was watching this after work at Heshey Centre Lounge. Wow Raps got lucky with this one when I saw it was Brookyln winning when it was almost to the end of the 4th. Why was Val on the bench when he had a good night and yea overtime seeing Demar awkward floating shot go in was insane. Props to Amir too on how he played.

But yea definitely a stressful moment on how this game ended.

No way Casey gets fired in the off season. He's like 40 games over .500 since last year. Damn near most wins as coach in Raps history. Let's just hope he gets better with time

I saw stat since the Rudy trade this is like 3rd in wins and only few wins behind GS.

But yeah Casey is keeping this ultra talented team with superstars from reaching their potential :banghead:

Unless we have a Maple Leaf-esque implosion, Casey is going nowhere.

Things finally went our way. Leave it up to Amir to make a dumb/ risky play to secure us a win. I remember when he literally tossed Kirilenko last year. Amir is the man.

Demar is cerebral with the ball now. Something no1 would ever of thought saying rookie year. He's nice man, star nice.

one thing i will criticize is this… there have been multiple games this season where the raptors have had the lead into the fourth only to choke it away… there have been multiple games where the raptors have been straight dominating the whole game, only to choke it away in the fourth… this is discouraging and it's hard to pinpoint exactly what the issue is… defense is obviously the easy answer, but the question is WHY is the defense slipping? we shouldn't be letting this happen… and what makes it more perplexing is we were the best fourth quarter team in the league last year… or one of the best… so far this season we've shat away games to chicago, lakers, portland, detroit, pelicans, cleveland all because of fourth quarter collapses… and we almost did the same against the sixers and tonight against brooklyn… this can't happen and we need to start putting teams away asap… hopefully they come out tomorrow and try to destroy the wizards from the get go and don't let up…

and lowry needs to show up tomorrow because him playing like crap does not bode well for our team.

Yeah Amir might've shuffled his feet a little, but Anderson's reenactment was over the top. Looked like he was doing a football drill where you step through the tires. Pretty funny stuff.

Amir's put back where he shuffled his feet before going up.

The thing that scared me was that we had 2 points in about a 9 minute span (3 minutes in the 3rd to about 6 minutes in the 4th)

We took about 6 threes, and 2 long twos in that span.

I thought we'd get to 100 by the end of the 3rd.
