Casey "we tried everything small ball big ball" really?????

Casey tried Lowry, Lou and greivis, Lou greivis and Lowry. Not sure if adding more bad defenders makes our defence better.

Hindsight is 20/20. Seeing a winning Raptors team was rare. At least he didn't do any dumb trades/signings. Lowry disappointed hard in the new year but he was playing so amazing that I need time to understand wtf happened to him. My biggest gripe with Masai was giving Casey a new contract. Hope this summer Masai does the right moves


Unfortunately, it was pretty clear as day the tank was to be rolled out. Wiggins, deep draft, Rudy traded, media was preparing fans for a tank year. We were all calling for it. It's not a hindsight thing. This is what MANY of us wanted. We can even go back and see past posts of many of us wondering what was taking so long for Masai to do it. Yes, he doesn't make dumb trades and mortgage the future. He never does, in Denver or here in Toronto. It's his indecisiveness that is possibly setting this team back unless he has some kind of horse shoe up his butt type of move to pull very soon.

Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet

Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

DeMar and them need to understand that Val becoming a force down low is the key to our success moving forward!with this current roster

fire tom sterner. i hate these overly positive, completely unrealistic douchebag people. fake as hell personalities. might as well wear a mask all your life.

as someone said earlier, shut the borders tonight (air and land) and keep these unspirited players and coaches away from toronto.

I remember months back you made a thread about how you were on the fence about being a Raptors fan..

I replied, stating why being a Raptor fan was a fantastic, and unique experience. One you wouldn't regret.

I apologize from the bottom of my heart

Please forgive me

What damn growth has Casey seen this year? Most of our players have regressed. I have no idea what Casey is talking about. I don't even think he knows what he is saying. He's literally making up every excuse he can.

Casey...you're an idiot. That is all.

This article by Ryan Wolstat after game 2 no less, said everything:

By now, there is little doubt that the Washington Wizards boast a more talented roster than the Raptors.

In John Wall, the team has a legitimate No. 1 overall draft pick — not an Andrea Bargnani or Kwame Brown-level No. 1, a superstar No. 1.

In Bradley Beal, the Wizards have a 21-year-old star in waiting, a potential top-5 shooting guard for a decade to come and a solid No. 3 pick. Otto Porter, another No. 3 pick has been a difference-maker over the first two games, as players selected that high should be. Even ancient reserves Paul Pierce and Drew Gooden were once top-10 selections (Pierce could easily have gone first and with apologies to Dirk Nowitzki is the best player from his class).

The Raptors counter with an excellent No. 5 pick (Jonas Valanciunas) and a stellar No. 9 (DeMar DeRozan) and a mediocre No. 8 (Terrence Ross).

Sure, players like Kyle Lowry (a late first-rounder back in 2006) sometimes break through and become stars, but, generally, the pieces you need to contend come much higher.

As always in the NBA, talent matters. The Wizards have high-end talent, the Raptors do not.

Sometimes you can pull off an upset over a more talented bunch with greater depth, more cohesiveness, more passion and will and more experience.

Masai should've made a move at the deadline. The coach should have played the best defensive player in the playoffs. But this is a mediocre playoff team.

Most disappointing thing to me is the failure to improve of Demar derozan. last summer whe he played on the national team he was the next young star among wingmen. But this year he was passed by Jimmy Butler and now Bradley Beal.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

I didn't mean it in a racist way. They're both bush league standard, hence why I said that.

I think when he said big ball he meant the lineup in the last minute when JV and Stiemsma were playing.
