Really, you are going to go there? Team allowed 125 points in deciding game.


Yes Im going there, you know this team runs off the pace and fluidity of our offence. Simply fact dwane Casey is a really bad offensive minded coach.... And when the offense doesn't work for this team the defence follows..... I'm sorry but anyone defending dwane Casey should be kicked to the fields with him.....

As the season ends I would like to thank our great fans, we are the best and deserve so much better than this. Thanks for the memories RealGM and Jurassic Park. I'm not even going to mention the team because they are a joke and are not worthy of any words.

On February 23rd, this post got 60 And1s..

For years we've been the punchline of the NBA, scrubs would look forward to signing with us because they knew they'd get playing time. We've been through some real dark times. Think back to when Vince Carter went down for the first time, then went down again and we basically made the playoffs without him. After that we had a season decimated with injuries and Alvin Williams, AD with JYD were literally carrying the team. We had some real ugly games, and what looked like a season for us to get back to that 2000-2001 run was pretty much put on hold. Then came the KO era where we couldn't score but we could definitely play defense, boy did we lose games in the worst way. Not only were some lack of scoring records shattered but also some lamps.

We went through scrubs like mengke batter, Mamadou Ndiaye, rick brunson Ya'll remember rick brunson?!? I mean we even started milt palacio for a little bit, but that guy couldn't make a layup to save his life. Vince Carter ripped our hearts out when he left. We were victims of Kobes 81. The cold cold north lost another star in chris bosh. We got a number 1 pick and chose an unmotivated hack who did have talent but really didn't give a **** about anyone but himself. We got shafted due to that "age rule change" that could have netted us Oden/Durant. We got embarrassed by the Orlando magic one season after having the biggest turnaround in the NBA. Chris Bosh left us after making it seem like he would stay.

We sit here now #2 seed with two allstars, an allstar potential center who is <24y/o, a core that still has yet to reach its peak one of the best benches in the nab. Not to mention no more colangelo. We have great draft picks and a really good cap situation. We won't win every game but we are never out of them ( there will be some blowouts) but this team is the best team we've ever had. PERIOD. As sad as it may be this team is the best and some of you want to tear it down? Some of you complain about Lowry, some just detest derozan. When we were **** there weren't so many fair-weather fans though there were still player factions the consensus on the team was pretty much in unison. Can we please stop these knee jerk reactions? Can we please be rational for once!?? We are finally being considered and being looked at as quasi-contenders to come out of the east do you all understand how big of an achievement that is for this franchise? I mean everything is a process and things will happen one step at a time.

Let me ask you this: When we started the season did any of you think we were gonna be #2 in the east? Let alone hold onto the #1 seed for 2 months?

If the realistic expectations weren't set that high then why are some of you acting so high maintenance? We are Blessed and i mean BLESSED to be in the position we are in. I don't understand how someone who follows the team with true passion is willing to not understand what we have here? How are we not understanding the context? I'm tired of the knee-jerk threads.

When do you guys expect Casey to be fired? I'd guess before the draft so he hopefully has no input in it.

“Finally, a question about something important,” he said.

“My advice to any heartbroken young girl is to pay close attention to the study of theoretical physics. Because one day there may well be proof of multiple universes.”

“It would not be beyond the realms of possibility that somewhere outside of our own universe lies another different universe.”

“And in that universe, Zayn is still in One Direction.”


Anyways, it got me thinking: there may be some universe out there in which the Raptors are a good team! Maybe they have multiple championships and dominate for 15+ years ala the Spurs in our universe :)

Masai should've made a move at the deadline. The coach should have played the best defensive player in the playoffs. But this is a mediocre playoff team.


My concern all along was that by not doing anything during the deadline we would be a first round exit and sure enough, we were a first round exit.

This could be devastating in terms of attracting free agents.
