    Default Raptors fire Casey

    Still hard to see who can coach this team past Lebron but I guess someone else will get the chance to do it now. Sad to see this happening after the successful regular season they just had but as we all know, winning in the regular season isnt the same as winning in the playoffs.

    How funny will it be if he wins Coach of the Year (which is quite possible all things considered) and is out there looking for a job.

    he won't be unemployed long. Until this team gets a personality and competitor in like a Paul Pierce they won't get by LeBron until LeBron retires. Before opening tip-off the Raptors are already trailing 1-0 in the series with their spirit broken it seems. LeBron's on his way to his NINTH NBA finals. after he knocks out Boston.

    Wouldn't it be nuts if Laviolette got the hook as well? Two of the best regular season teams in their sports and neither one can really seem to find post season success year after year.

    He won coach of the year voted by coaches on Wednesday.

    $100 says Masai knew he'd fire him the minute after the game 4 loss, prolly before the 4th quarter started actually but didn't until after he won the award.

    Dwane wasn't getting it done, and it's easier to replace a coach then a team.

    I feel like the GM has wanted to fire Casey ever since he took over, but really couldn't since the Raptors were exceeding expectations.

    Writer of the weekly Top 10 column.

    12-team Keeper pool, straight points for forwards & dmen. Goalies get: 2 points per win, 3 per shutout, 1 point per assist & 1 point per shootout loss.

    League champ in 2013, 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2022.

    Top 8 forwards, 5 dmen and 2 goalies count.

    We keep 15 players (any position) plus two rookies.

    Forwards: Panarin, Ovechkin, Kopitar, Stamkos, Tuch, Rust, Marchessault, Pavelski, Miller, Bertuzzi, Stone, Kakko, Brown, Stankoven, Kovalenko
    Defence: Hedman, Fox, Matheson, Thrun, Jiricek
    Goalies: Kochetkov, Talbot, Vasilevskiy, Campbell, Schmid

    Lets be honest, a new coach coming in isn't getting this team past Lebron.

    New coach might make the team actually listen and try hard. Unlike the pathetic showing the Raps did in 2 of the 4 games.

    Dwane was also a hot head on the sideline and this yr you saw players get T'd up, and ejected way more than in the past. Coaches mentality finally hit the players and players weren't playing through bad calls. Instead they complained.

    Do I think the firing will make the Raps get past Lebron? No, other factors need to happen. But was this due? Yeah, reports were even last yr Ujiri was thinking of firing Dwane.

    Now Ujiri needs to stomach the deals he gave Powell and Ibaka and see if they can make things happen, because this roster isn't going to cut it.

    The pathetic showing vs Lebron is on the players more then it is on the coach and they know it.

    And we all know the coach is the first to go.

    I would have at least waited to see if LeBron headed to the Western Conference before turfing the coach of the year because of a playoff disappointment...
