To give you an idea of just how bad the Raptors' defense is. Dark times.

Thibs is a superior coach to Casey, this is not even debatable.

Not sure how Casey's isn't on the hot seat. Our defense is ranked with lottery teams.

Don't worry guys, Casey was the mastermind for the Dallas Mavericks defense in their title year.

Somewhat misleading. This is his best offensive group ever, so really only this team matters. And our back to back made it worse with being a step slow down the stretch.

If Snell started his career with Casey he'd be in the D-League or out of the league.

If Tross started his career with Thibs he'd be a reliable consistent 6th man, someone who could step in for starter minutes when guys went down with injuries.

Well the thread title doesn't matter. It could just say "The Bulls have scored 39 points and 49 points in 4th quarters against the raptors this season". Also the bulls are not a very good offensive team and they are missing rose.

Casey is toast. This sort of thing will not be tolerated - especially by a GM that did not hire him. It is approaching Leafs-level embarrassment - and that is saying something.

Nope, you gotta let them panace. Everyone had already pegged this as a loss when we looked at the remaining games and now they're mad they let their hopes get up during the game. It was quite evident they hit the wall in the 4th, the comeback yesterday took alot out of them.

It's not like Thibs suddenly ran some great plays in the fourth yesterday. Pretty much the same way they play.

Part of it is running out of gas on a back-to-back in the fourth but overall, it just comes down to how poor this defensive system is or the lack of talent that fits the system.

Casey has not adjusted at all to the players he has and their inability to execute what he wants effectively. For a a coach that prides himself on defense, this is pretty alarming how bad it is and his lack of adjustments.

When a player or team need to accomplish an historic feat, they call the Toronto Raptors. We're always there to help

I remember Ramon Sessions did a post game interview back when he played on the Bobcats during the season where they won 7 games and he said they had the Raptors circled on the calender as they saw it as a winnable game.

I'm not surprised as there are so many records made by the other teams or players against the Raps.

Sad thing is with as bad as Kyle's defense has been this year, I don't know if he'd make us better or worse.

Not sure I agree with this. He's done about as well as Casey with a lot more resources.

1. We're not the only team who has had to face the Bulls in the 2nd night of a back-to-back in 5 years.
2. Guess who didn't play for them? A certain guy averaging 18/5/3.

Let's stop making excuses for our pitiful defence that is being overseen by a supposed defensive-minded coach.

That last line sums up the overreaction type of Raptors fan.

Even so. There are some awful teams in this league. Minny, NY, LA etc etc. To think that both his highest quarters came vs the Raptors, a team giving it their all. That's scary.

We shall see after the first round exit, my friend.
