Biggest disappointment of the season so far?

[Duke3D]

Bargnani by a few light years.

Casey second.

Bargs gotta be the biggest one. Remember pre season attitude and optimism? Remember someone suggested Bargs for Ibaka+ first rounder trade just before season started, and people were ripping that suggestion without blushing.

It was when we were told Colangelo wouldn't be let go until at least the end of the season.

This guy coming in this season was supposed to improve, but looks like a total scrub out there. Somehow forgot how to play basketball, can't shoot, can't defend

[carl_english]

BC is still with the team.

[plainballing]

Other than Val, this team has been a disappointment this season...but Bargs is the biggest since we expected so much out of him and he never meet those expectation...even those who expected only little from him...

[Neutral 123]

Hilarious. I guess disappointment involves higher expectations, so there really aren't any. This is one should expect the team to be. The biggest surprise might be how much further Bargnani has fallen. The biggest disappointment by far is that BC and Bargs are still employed by the Raps. STILL! Makes no sense.

Honestly not sucking enough to get Lillard last year.

Lillard/Lowry/Lucas
DD/Lillard/Anderson
Gay/Feilds/
Johnson/Acy/AB
JV/Grey

+ Our pick this year

[now and 4 life]

Honestly I am disappointed in almost everybody to some extent except for maybe DeRozan since I never liked him very much to begin with and Amir who is a beast.

[JunkYardSubs]

Dwayne Casey

[Too Late Crew]

The fact the BC has not only not been fired but that they are actually considering extending him. All the other disappointments are just an extension of BC's "reign of error".

[TheAlchemist]

I expected Bargnani to be crap, or at least did not care enough to look at him with any optimistic expectations.


But Dwayne Casey was supposed to be a miracle working defensive guru.

He honestly has become one of the worst coaches I've seen.

Jay Triano had HORRIFIC defensive rotations, and did not command the respect of the players. But seriously, he developed the kids pretty well.

Casey on the other hand is just horrific with development, subbing rotations, and general lack of knowledge of the game. The one thing he was good at -defence- has been regressed so bad. He's a really really horrible coach.

[TdotRap4Lyfe]

Our Coach, really got us going last year like he was great or something, my friends bought it. I never liked him because he cost us seed 3-7 of the lottery (no disrespect to TRoss) because he wanted to beat playoff bound Celtics and Atl for a non important loss...

[Lukeem]

I'm disappointed raptor fans still consider bargnani a disappointment and that apparently still expected him to be great.

Casey in a landslide
- last minute plays have been a joke
- offensive sets have been poor high school level
- Aaron gray
- no defensive accountability for Jose and Andrea
- throws Amir and Jonas under the bus to protect Andrea ( Tim and Sid show)
- Watches teams walk into the paint for Layups in 4 th quarter while our only rim protector rots on the bench and we blow 4 th quarter leads like we are giving games away to tank
-small ball / no concept of how to protect leads


These are all after a year where he looked like a genius

Andrea is just being Andrea - I hoped for more this year but can anyone say they are surprised he is terrible

Not sure if i call the 4-19 start or the fans.

We are currently on a 19-16 run (.543), if we started the first 23 games with a simular record we would had been at the 7th spot. With current standing we would had face NY in first round (2-0 against atm) and Indiana (they would face Chicago 1st round, which they are 2-0 against) in the second round (which we are 2-1 against, we lost in the 4-19 stretch).

So if the 4-19 start didn;t happen we even had a shot at the eastern finals with this team. That brings me to the fans. All the negativity while we are really close to something special. We only will become better, the only players playing there best basketball atm are: AA, Lucas and Gray. I really hope and believe all others become better next year (Gay, Lowry, Val, Ross, Fields, Derozan and Acy). On Barghs and Kleiza i gave up, but i highly doubt they will be worse next season or the replacement from them will be worse). Without changes this team will never be championship/finals but 2e round or even reaching the conference finals is less far away then people think.

But i have to agree: IF doesn;t count. Barghs gives me a headache. I always thought he would be a very very good nummer 6 option on any team. But since he plays that it;s even worse then ever before. Think iám not disappointted in him because i simply want to forget him. Always believed in him and hoped BC was right. But in the end i have to admit to all those here who where right from the start. I still do believe in Casey. The way i see it: He tries to establisch a defence culture above winning right now. If you work and play good defence you stay on the court (no matter how bad on offence). Keep that in your mind and most strange rotations you start to understand. I blame him for the 4-19 start but also give him credit for the 19-16 record atm.

[lucky777s]

BC being allowed to continue his same pattern of quick fixes and constant tinkering with the roster, trying to fit square pegs into round holes.

He should have had the team taken away from him before the summer. The Nash pursuit, the Fields signing, not trading Bargs, not drafting Drummond, the reverse protected pick to HOU/OKC that may have come back to bite us in 2014 if we somehow squeaked into 8 this year. Even the way he seemed to change the focus away from D this year and pushed Casey to go 'uptempo'.

It was a horrible summer and the results have showed. Any new GM could have gotten in on the Rudy talks because we had the expiring contract for a good player that keyed the deal. That was the only good risk BC took.

[Big Shot]

It's got to be Bargnani.

I'm not disappointed with Casey since I knew he is not good from day one.

[theonlyeastcoastrapsfan]

The play of Bargnani. He's basically been in a shooting slump pretty much all season.
