Hopefully it's not just talk for the sake of talk! We need big change.

It doesn't seem like just talk. He's visibly annoyed.

If there aren't big changes, I don't think it will be due to a lack of effort from Masai. Like he said, he can't control what happens in the offseason and what players decide. What he can control is firing Casey.

Masai made it clear to Casey to change our style of play. Masai emphasised it too.

masai made it clear to casey we need to change the style of play. so i guess casey's staying but may be on a short leash.

Casey not exactly getting a ringing endorsement here but sounds like he is safe.

Can we have a full recap of what Masai said? I know he is pissed at the way we played and the comments our players and coach made.

Also why did he call out the media? Did the Toronto media do something? I saw RaptorsLife mentioned and I never heard of them before.

"I've made it clear that it's going to be difficult just changing players." (i.e. Casey's BS excuses won't work any more.)

You cant change style of play when Casey is pretty much Demar and Lowry's *****, Casey let Demar do whatever he wants..hence the stupid ISO plays
Masai's to do list

It's crazy. Nobody seems safe. I wouldn't be surprised if he pulls a melo like trade and trades demar at this point.

This is the first time that it seems things may be done for Casey here ... If we can't change players easily then all things point to Casey

Which means Casey is back.

It'd be cold to discuss that stuff with him and then fire him.

Definitely sounds like Masai giving Casey one last chance.

If this "style of play" still doesn't work next year, he's gone like those assistant coaches

That happens all of the time with exit meetings with coaches and upper management. It's not cold, it's business.
