It can't be all Casey's fault. Lowry is the point guard who is supposed to run the team is he not? GV is the backup point guard.
It is Casey's job to call plays for Jonas or to reign in his PGs and tell them to facilitate the game and not just chuck. Look at Carlisle and Rondo. So in the end, it is Casey's fault because he is the coach and he is responsible for plays/how the ball is distributed. Also GV/Lowry do not have the ability to bench Jonas like Casey effectively did today for half the game.
If that were the case then you would expect that Casey would be getting heaps of praise whenever the team wins or JV has a big game since he is so influential. He does not, however. A coach can only do so much. JV does not have the trust of many of his teammates. That's the reality of the situation.
If you noticed after the cavs game, a lot of people were praising casey and demar for feeding JV. Its not like the "fanboys" just praise JV when he does well and bash casey when he does poorly. Some might do but the majority realize its a team effort.
As for his peers not having trust in him, that is pure speculation on your part and has no basis. Look at how lou and GV fed JV against the cavs. It is obliviously a game plan issue where the raptors refuse to play inside out even when the perimeter shots are not falling. The 2nd Q in this game killed us as the Raptors layed brick after brick and Casey refused to put JV back in the game.
