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

Iggy + 30th pick for Ross would work. That means Lou wouldn't be resigned in the off-season though right? Especially if they're trying to sign Tristan Thompson as a RFA.

I still dont buy the Tristan Thompson rumor,hes close with Lebron and Maverick right ? I think its pretty obvious hes gonna resign with them especially if they win this year...

 

[Miggs]

Might as well sign Rondo and trade back for Rudy Gay too...

If Rondo is healthy and you can sign him to a similar contract that we gave Lowry would you consider swapping him in and trying to trade Kyle ?

BAck in December,no brainer would have been hell fukkn no but based on right now,youd actually consider it...

I don't doubt that Masai wants to sign Tristan Thompson, but the chances of him coming here are slim to nil. Tristan is signed to LeBron's talent agency. He's definitely going to stay in Cleveland if they win a chip.

Nobody is in here caping for JV. He playing soft as shyt in these playoffs. But if he's on the floor he should get more offensive looks because it helps balance the offence.

What is your agenda against him? Why do you hate him so much? Literally every post you make is about how garbage you feel JV is.

Low key my personal agenda is i hate the way large segments of the raptor fan base overtly roots for crappy white esp white euro players to succeed and push the bs narratives that its everyone in that players path of success when in reality the bargnani's the Roko Ukic's and Valanciunas just arent that good...

I think we can finally plainly see that Val just isnt that good,hes not a franchise big,hes not a building block,hes not a potnetial all star,hes not even a consistent starting center in this league....

Same. Staying home and being rich would be the worst, fukk could you imagine playing in your home-town and all of your friends and family constantly badgering you for money? I'm not even rich right now and my family hit me up all the time asking for money. I can't imagine what these NBA players go through on a regular basis

The Dallas and Houston series is better basketball

Anything is possible, all hinges on if the Cavs win it all. If Love stays, its hard to see TT wanting to stay even if he gets paid. He wants to be a starter and the Cavs also have Varejao who they just signed to a big deal in the summer who can offer something similar to TT. Let's not forget the Cavs have Mozgov who they have a team option of 4 million who is playing well at the 5.

On Tuesday night, Washington looked like a Playoff team. Their best player, John Wall, was utterly dominant, his supporting cast executed the team’s game plan to perfection, especially on the defensive end, and they routinely pounded Toronto in all of the ways a scouting report would have suggested that they should. The Raptors, meanwhile, looked like an over-matched scrimmage opponent. They haphazardly threw themselves at Washington, insisting on going one-on-one against the NBA’s fifth-best defence, they refused to box out despite getting pounded on the boards (again) and five players had four-or-more fouls because everyone would rather reach and grab than move their feet on defence. It takes a colossal amount of arrogance to continue to play like that while 20, 000 people are watching you get embarrassed, but that’s these Raptors, arrogantly refusing to alter their style of play in the face of all reasonable logic.

That is scathing and on point

I blame Casey for not coaching the players differently - he doesnt adjust, doesnt demand that they adjust...cant wait for tonight
