AUDIO: Casey on Bargnani's vent + team not buying in 

Post#1 » by hoopsaddict » Fri Dec 14, 2012 11:09 pm

Dwane Casey addressed the latest rumours surrounding what Andrea Bargnani told a newspaper in Italy, the strong play of Ed Davis in limited minutes this season and a Raptor saying the team isn't buying in this season the same way they did last season.

Who does Casey consider worse than this team? Washington without Wall? Perhaps Cleveland without Irving?

It's not a win loss issue.

Exactly.

It's not a talent issue...
or about wins and losses...
it's about your compete level night in, night out...
except when you lose focus...
discounting for injuries....
and the occasional thrown mouth piece ejection.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

When you add up all the excuses there's a half decent chance we're maybe almost close to getting in the playoff hunt

Agreed. Just ask Bryan Colangelo. He'll tell you we should be up there with the Knicks and Heat right now.

But Calderon always shuts down Irving, and Calderon is a scrub so with Lowry as the starting PG we are way >>>>>>>>>>>> Cavs

I love people on this board..... In this thread Casey is being made fun of for saying we aren't the worst team in the NBA, and in the other thread, Bargs is being made fun of for saying we are. This board has really went down hill over the last year or two. There used to be great discussions on here, now all you get is Bargnani this and Jose that. Before it was all Jose's fault we sucked, now, it's because Bargs didn't play that we won, but can't say anything about Jose because he played a major part in tonight's win....

Would somebody plz recap, whats the team not buying in? From Bargs interview, he said 'something went wrong with the team at the beginning of the season'...So what actually went wrong??

Spot on, except that nobody has been ejected for throwing his mouth piece ;)

No, he's right; it can't be an issue of wins and losses, it MUST be an issue of focus and attention to detail... As in we are focusing on the wrong details. We should be paying attention to the most important fact, that we're coming off of a win! Not worry about the fact that we have 5 times as many losses as wins.

Focus!

Orlando clearly has less talent. Washington has less offensive talent, but some of them know how to play. Golden States is no better than the Raptors.

Surprised you weren't called out for being a ballboy ... as if it were meaningful to have a couple of hundred "focus" posts or repeating any of the inane forum-specific meme's that get thrown into every thread allllll day.

Anyways, I agree.
