Its a really glaring difference between the well coached teams and the not. The Spurs are the best team ive seen over the years at staying disciplined enough not to do those things, and the Celtics are really good at it too.


I don't want to pile up on Casey too much and act like he's the worst coach ever. I forget who but people who have worked with multiple teams have praised Casey in practices, saying how efficient he gets through practices and how much he addresses so much in a short amount of time.

But like when you see performances like this it makes you wonder WTF



any coach could have taken this team to where they are now. ANY COACH. I'm comfortable in saying that. Casey is a fraud.

If theses two teams played 10 times, Toronto would be lucky to only lose 9

Not quite sure why Casey thinking Nogs is the best decision maker on the hard trap of DD or Lowry at the top of the key. How you not gonna ride JV until he dies in a do or die?

Cavs always do this against the Raps lol. Problem is they gotta do this vs the Warriors/Rockets however.

Just Toronto. They almost lost it against Indiana.


Supporting cast wasn't playing like this. The team all season long hasn't looked this good....Smith, George, Love, & Korver all got it going, all in good rhythm.

Casey needs to go down mid-game like Lue. He's so clueless. Sitting players who are actually making a difference and playing heavy minutes to those contributing nothing (DD, SI)...

Has a number 4 seed ever sweep a number 1?

This has nothing to do with LeBron dominance. This series but raptors being the worst seed ever and frauds.

It's hard to watch how mediocre we are without our bench saving our ass like in regular season

Nogueira has no business playing crucial minutes in an elimination game. Im also shocked that Powell hasn't seen the floor against a team that play small smh Casey does make some questionable decisions.

Casey has abandoned using that unit, but in fairness Lue strategically staggered LeBron's minutes where he's directly playing against the second unit and it's effectively countered them.
