Shout out Kevin Willis

[J-Roc]

Watching this game is tough when you know you're stuck with a guy like Casey indefinitely.

Yeah the coach is turning over the ball, right?

It's pretty obvious there are bigger problems at hand than the Raptors turning the ball over too much.

Yeah they're missing shats. Lowry is out of shape. Val/Ross aren't ready. And the team is 26-12.

[Left Side Drive]

How many more wake up calls do we need?

[TheRealDeal]

Chemistry was one of our biggest assets and it's about to get severely tested.

[Raps in 4]

I have no idea what Casey is doing.

I don't think he does either.

[GED Education]

Ross and JV out there in garbage time really is Casey's way of sending a message

[UnderdogRaptors]

Yes JV needs more touches

[Lord Eder]

3 minutes left in the game and we finally go to a post up

[DeadHorse]

Why is val heading to the line. Hit the bench.

[RapsAndJays21]

That's a stupid a*** stat, no duh you're going to win most of your games holding teams to under 100.

[Swag]

Masai needs to do something.

[UnderdogRaptors]

Ross and JV out there in garbage time really is Casey's way of sending a message

They need to pad those stats

[Throwback24]

The flaw with character guys.

Absolutely. But some would also raise the question, do we have a true leader? Do we have a leader that can raise valid points and hold not only himself, but his teammates accountable? The playcalling? The scheme?

I honestly don't see it.

I would say Lowry but after his first season playing with Bargs he won't try again.

And that's exactly what I mean, Casey did a wonderful job of neutering JJ and Lowry. They know not to step out of line for fear of being blasted by the media again.

This is what happens when you lack a vocal leader, one that takes these type of ass whoopings to heart. There's a LOT to blame to go around.

[olu]

I dont know about you all but I am ready to trade Amit, Val, GV and Ross

[NinjaBro]

Calling TZ and Brunoskull, we need a fresh new batch of fire Casey and fire Masai sigs

[TripleMKE]

Haven't followed the GT, but I hope none of you expected a win tonight. This loss isn't about the Raptors, it's about the Hawks. Said it on page 2 of this thread and I'll say it again, they're the best team in basketball. I'm picking them to win it all this year, and no, that's not an overreaction, I've watched their last 15 games. Fun Fun team.

They are the only players ever held accountable for anything. Nothing new there.

Oh its well under way and I think I see cracks already.

[raptorstime]

pad those stats JV

[UneducatedFan86]

LOL at people thinking Casey will get fired.. this team is 26-13

Maybe if we were 13-26

Record should mean very little. It should be about the product on the floor, and over the last month, the product has been poor. Yes, we missed Demar, but it also exposed A LOT of major issues. This team clearly isn't as good as they were last year (or maybe they just overachieved last year?_, and if we weren't in the worst division the league, there would be a high chance that we'd be lower than a top 4 seed.
