Derozan is out. Energy picks up!

JJ needs to yell at everyone in the lockerroom and Casey needs to schedule a practice tomorrow morning 9am. You damn right they're having a 9am practice on a Saturday, they need it.

[Chriscross]

I don't get it.

Why are people blaming the players for the structure that they've been put in?

It's truly perplexing that so many on this board valiantly defend Casey. It's been clear for years that he's not strategically capable of being even an average coach at this level.

It's not even strategically where the main issues are. It's the culture and approach of the team that needs a change.

Absolutely. There's a reason Atlanta traded Lou Williams in the off-season for essentially nothing. They build their team not based on talent but based on who fits their system.

fans behind the raps bench, you the real mvp.

[AlwaysFresh]

Dis ninja can't even catch a ball

[Inklink]

Dumb.

[Raps in 4]

A team with a high iQ, they make life easier for them by making the right passes. Us on the other hand like to force things and make things hard, if we can somehow cut it to 14 points then we can win still.. probably not though, sigh.

I hope people finally see what a mediocre coach Casey is.

[raptorstime]

Philly needs to make the playoffs so we have a chance

philly will be better than us in 2 yrs

[GED Education]

OMG - two turnovers. We could be down like 12.

[RapsAndJays21]

Come on. two bad mistakes that could have chopped into the lead.

[BrunoSkull]

LOU WTF

[JaysRule15]

Ah, that familiar feeling of despair and helplessness.

[Swag]

You all really think Atlanta is that much more talented than the Raptors, player personnel-wise?

The reason why the Hawks are so good right now is a systemic thing. Culture. Approach. Discipline. Where does that come from? Who is in charge of that?

You're absolutely right.

We beat them twice on individual skill. We got a coach who has a poor in-game feel and doesnt make the necessary adjustments like playing Patterson more minutes so the spacing can be there for DD and Lowry.

[tdotboyy]

Lol Steve Kerr goin at the ref

[NinjaBro]

Dumbest team in the league omg

[Scase]

This team needs to go back to the D-league

He was the one guy scoring consistently when he was on just now. Try again.
