Lowry: Raptors' record season 'wasted year'

 

[bksballer89]

Just curious why is Mr.Casey still employed by the Raptors 24 hours later?

 

[DorianRo]

If they went down fighting that would be one thing. They went out with a whimper after Game 1. No point in whining about it now.

They are their own worst enemies. They should be ashamed to show themselves in public. Can't even manage one win. When the Pacers took them 7

 

[DorianRo]

We weren't ready to be as physical as we needed to be," Lowry said. "We did a great job in the regular season, but playoffs are just different."


Im sorry are you ROOKIES? You should know how the playoffs are by now.

 

[Mecca]

So he's out on both positions?

Yup....

I hear what you're saying, but it ain't ALL on him...

Facts.

98% on him.

2% on the others

oh don't get me wrong. his rotations were shot and it seemed like he couldn't coach his way out of a wet paper bag, but his players I think shoulder more like 20% of the blame...

Is it the coach's fault LeBron is their daddy? That Lowry played like shit? Players deserve as much blame as the coach.

I just think it is funny.

2 weeks ago Casey was a top COY candidate. He may still get it. Cream rises to the top though. It had better be Stevens or Snyder. D'Antoni would be okay also. If Casey wins, it will be a complete joke. These Raptors are the same as always.

This is dumb. When you play a team 3x in the playoffs over the past 3 years and they all the same way. Go back and watch the 2016 ecf and tell me what coaching changes Casey made to improve his team chances this year? Go back and watch the 2017 2nd round vs Cleveland and do the same

 

[bksballer89]

Doesn't help that it seems like his team quit on him after game 1. They showed very little fight in the final 3 games of the series

I didn't say the coach was blameless but he's not the one playing like shit

It's both. The players shit themselves and Casey's attempts to change the Pampers just result in the shit running down their legs.

I like Casey. He's an extremely intelligent basketball mind and maybe as a head coach of a different team with different personalities and more varied skillsets he can take a team to a championship. I just think Toronto needs a complete reset, a move to get assets for DeRozan/Lowry/Ibaka and take advantage of the younger guys to build for 2-3 years from now. And for that, Casey needs to go.

LOL what a joke.

LOL what a joke.

I knew something like this would happen LOL

Regular season award. Harden will get a nice MVP after shitting the bed during this Warriors series too.

DeRozan and Lowry have been getting their fair share of criticism. I know I've gotten on both of them.

But in year 3, Cleveland has put you (the Raptors) down in embarrassing fashion. And by the way I've seen Lebronto's errrr, I mean Toronto's defensive rotations, I tend to think that they're not a well prepared team.

Yup. Harden's deserving of his MVP. But in terms of who's been the most playoffs from game 1, it's Lebron by a mile.
