Coaches voted him Coach of the Year Wednesday; but between being swept and embarrassed by Cleveland and that Dozan benching, is this as much of a shock?

Didn’t this same thing happen to another coach a few years ago too

Everybody witnessed Lowry And Demar suck again.....these niggas somehow scammed them their team to fire the coach over them.

I still trying to figure out how they had two game winning shot attempts in the course of one game in that series; and Fred Van Fleet took both of them.

As a Raptors fan I'm not surprised by this firing. We had high hopes this year and it was our best chance to make it to the finals. I didn't think we would beat Cleveland, but we had the talent to atleast challenge them. The series should have went 6 or 7 games not a damn 4 game sweep.

I think the Raptors will look at Jerry Stackhouse now. He has been coaching our G-league team and has payed his dues to be a NBA coach.

Damn, that's fucked up, but this might be a James Buchanan/Abe Lincoln situation. Ole JB told Lincoln after Lincoln won the presidency that, "If you're as happy to be coming into the presidency as I am to be leaving it; then you are indeed one happy man."

Casey knows that this was the best that's going to happen to Toronto for the foreseeable future (Unless Bron goes out West). With the crew that they, and Superstars are not lining up to go to Canada, Toronto wont make it to the finals until after Bron retire. So it's best for him to get out now with number 1 in the East record and COY, and take a job with potential like Milwaukee. Stars are going to want to play with an up and comer big like Antetokounmpo.

That shit's crazy. Casey did his job during the year and they were the number one seed out of the East. 82 games is worth a whole lot more than an impossible series against one of the greatest players ever.

Shit's like NE firing Belichick in 07 after going 16-0 and losing to the Giants.

I'll say what's known. If he was...man, fuck it. You already know. :smh:

You shouldn’t be “Surprised”. Raptors had the best record in the east two years in a row and the coach/team didn’t make any adjustments to win at least one game.

It’s not all his fault and it sucks, but it was time

black coaches aint safe in Toronto......even when you achieve.
the regular season doesn't matter to the front office......the playoffs do.
thats fucked up man.


The man who likely fired him, the GM, is African.

They had to make a change. He probably lost the team or at least his star player.
