The team needs to give wall the Rondo treatment and sag off until he can prove he can hit a jumpshot.

God I hate her. I don't care whose wife it is, there is a freaking shotclock for a reason.

Must have season seats right behind Matty D if she always turns up on the audio signal of the broadcast.

Just because a thousand idiots say something doesn't make it smart. I respect your feelings, but how many times in your life has anyone asked you to make a decision on the competence of someone to coach basketball? I wouldn't because you actually think he's sabotaging the team, and don't sound very rational to me. I've believed all along that Masai is a better judge of how good a job Casey's doing, and I'm going to rely on him. I doubt he is in the dark regarding Casey's use of JV or JJ, and I think he will make a decision based on the entire playoffs, which are far from over unless you believe lightweight Toronto fans who all too often gave up on games throughout the year that the players did NOT give up on and went on to win. Go Raps! We win this game and it's 1-1.


I totally understand what you're saying. However, I do feel that we cannot discount the fact that other than the "thousand idiots" we've seen players, namely Chuck Hayes, as of late who have shown their concern and agreement with the sentiment of the fans.

I do not consider myself smarter than, or in a better position to judge personnel then Masai Ujiri - however, as a fan, and as a member of the greater society, I've seen that many times change does not happen unless attention is brought to the problem. My comments on the "Fire Casey!" chants were probably more out of frustration than rational thinking, but I would not be opposed to the attention that such chants would bring. The chances of Ujiri listening to a bunch of fans and not doing his due diligence before taking any actions are slim to none. After all, this organization is a business - and sometimes when the money is being raked - management may not see any reason to shake things up. My hope is, perhaps by showing the way we feel - at the very least we can see some sort of result.

Just my opinion.


Chuck Hayes pfft! That concerns me in that, if he's lost Hayes's confidence, there may be others. And as much criticism as Casey gets here, no one has suggested a good alternative, so who knows what his replacement will be like? But would I take Hayes judgment over the professional NBA coaches who have endorsed Casey? No. I think most of the people who criticize Casey are basketball failures who are well known to criticize more than praise. It's just in the nature of the modern sports fan to want to appear more knowledgeable and that means criticizing someone. The coach is an easy target. If anyone here even knows what coaching Casey does outside the 48 minutes they watch a couple of times a week, by all means, raise your hands. I'd love to hear what else he does wrong besides not playing the players you think he should play.


You make good points. I don't know of any alternative off the top of my head - I know it's impossible but I'd love to keep Casey as an assistant coach and have a coach that can draw plays and effectively manage rotations. I know that's vague - but hey, I'm not the GM, I just call it the way I see it. You're absolutely right that it's easy to criticize and blame the coach, heck I see spurs fans frustrated with Pops all the time. I'm just hear expressing my opinion from the comfort of my armchair. From this view there are certain things that I can say for sure - for a defensive coach, Casey's team has regressed significantly and is currently bottom 10. Our offense is spontaneous and ISO heavy. I personally feel, through watching many teams over the last couple of decades, that this type of coaching has never resulted in sustainable success.

On this topic ... the Rockets used Cappella in some spot minutes in their game yesterday. The fact that we couldn't find any time this season to play our two young guys is pretty puzzling. Rockets are a team trying to win the championship, and found time for an un-polished rookie to play in a PLAYOFF game.

Their other option is Joey Dorsey. They went with the best player available.
