Valanciunas may be the third best player on this team right now. Not sure where this bust talk is coming from. I bet if he was traded to a team that actually gave him the ball he'd average 15 and 10...with mediocre defence.

These days he finishes everything around the rim. Not sure why we don't look for him more.

i know people hate casey (and i'm hardly a fan either) but we have a real talent issue and that's as much of a problem as anything else.

I disagree. I think this roster is good enough to beat anybody in the East except for Cleveland or a healthy Bulls team in a 7 game series. The coaching is really bad. @Miggs got everything right about Casey's coaching issues in the post below yours.

#coaching

and im not advocating we give him 12 shots a game,im saying the offense needs more versatility other than high screens to set up jumpers between the circles or contested elbow jumpers...Does this coach ever think if we start the offense more out of the post,it will actually give our guards more room cuz the defense wont be overplaying them....Honestly we should be running post offense for James Johnson too....When he has a smaller defender on him..id be clearing out for him down low as well and force the other team to take it out of his hands or let him go to work...Hes shown hes pretty much unstoppable at getting to the rim...

Any half decent coach would be doing this stuff rather than just letting our guards improvise and do nothing but shoot mid range win or lose...

I agree on all counts.

I also wouldn't be against giving Valanciunas 12 shots a game. Confidence is his biggest issue, and we've done nothing to develop that aspect of his game. I think a confident Valanciunas is a top 10 center in the league offensively and a guy that could start for most teams. And it's clear that he's finally starting to figure out where to be on the court and when, and also gaining a better understanding of spacing and position. Giving him more time to develop his confidence and feel for the game just seems like a no brainer to me.

However, Casey is HORRIBLE at developing young talent. I mean, look at Ross...

He is complete trash on the defensive end and he hasn't yet lived up to the hype of being the 5th pick, Joakim noah is his floor my ass. U can pickup players from the dleague who are better, hello hassan Whiteside

i'm just saying this squad, as constructed, isn't that good (or at least as good as our epic start to the season suggested) and has pretty much hit it's ceiling as far as potential goes. now, it's always easier to point fingers at the coach, we raptor fans have been bytching about our head coaches for last decade, but in the end, talent is the thing that wins games and i don't think we have enough to really make a leap forward. there's a reason so many people wanted to 'blow it up' last year and even this season as well, they see the same problem that i do.
