"Fire coach Casey" "blow it up" Official Toronto raptors 2015-2016 season thread

[Miggs]

Pop gifted this game the minute he let Belinelli stay out there and kept Diaw on the bench.

The Raptors were looking like and just attacked whoever was guarded by Beli

Yall about to get that work for the 3rd time on Wednesday breh dont worry about this one...

we literally have no need for Ross if JJ can continue to play close to this level consistently.

Only question is what can we get for him? I'd be open to keeping him for his shot, but despite what the stats say it seems like Ross cant hit threes for shyt...at least when they matter. I'm still open to letting him go for John Henson and a 2nd rounder or some shyt

Didn't Henson and Tyler go to UNC together?

nah nah. Tyler Hans won a championship with them didnt he?

If so...musta been during Tylers senior year with henson as a freshman or sumn

 

[Broke Wave]

We still fukking suck

 

[Guess Who]

Ross' defence is REALLY bad. Peep how teams go on runs every time he gets on the floor. Same with Hansbrough. At least Ross' offence is starting to finally get better...cuz he's attempting to drive and take that mid-range pull-up. Hansbrough though, there's nothing redeeming to his game. Too small to guard the post and rebound defensively, and he's too slow to guard the pick and roll. Ross needs to gain weight so dudes can't drive through him so easily.

All in all a good effort from the squad. Gotta reduce the turnovers though.

We would have lost by double digits without him. He literally did everything this game. Scored. Drive. Hit a dagger. Key rebounds. Great defence. Dude is a jump shot away...

 

[Guess Who]

LoL If Val was more dominant in the post he'd command the ball more,you cant justify force feeding him every night when he doesnt bring it every night...

It's hard to get into a groove when you get benched after you basically win an entire quarter for us. This has happened to Valanciunas too often in the past month or so. Dude is improving. He has about three very reliable post moves now and he's getting better at finishing. However, his confidence is still shaky, which is why you get the inconsistency. Gotta let him improve his confidence by letting him play and get touches in key moments. I'd sacrifice a few wins to get him comfortable in late game situations because we will need him in the playoffs. He gotta improve his conditioning though.

I do agree with you @Miggs about Lowry being a bad clutch player. We need to not iso at the end of games cuz nobody on this team is capable of it.

I wanna know the real reason why he was buried on the bench for so long. JJ just comes to play hard every night - I hope he can keep up the good play. Great win for the Raptors. We really need to stop the iso plays with Lowry and Lou Williams. The team plays so much better when the ball is moving constantly.
Also, Demar needs to go fix his jumper, that shyt is broken as hell right now.

Jason Kidd came to his senses and finally started John Henson, he's posting some real efficient numbers. With Larry Sanders on his way out, I don't think the Bucks will let Henson go. The dream is over breh

Look at Terrence Ross's game log for the last month, shyt is terrible. Who'd want to trade for this?!
