Raptors NBA Playoff Schedule 2016

I hope the Raps win but I wont look at dat game.  I think the Raps are toast and I don't want to see them lose

I am thinking next season already

you sound like a proper friken Friday

who is he ::confused::  she : ::confused::

its a term...meaning you sound scared....

nah.  not scared!  I just don't want to look at my team in disarray get beaten out of the water.

unless Masai called them together..the only positive option up in deh... and spoke to them and got them back on a good level we will get beaten tonight.  Masai is the authority who would have that kind of clout

I mean as GM he can prolly make players  across the league pay by simply picking up the phone.  they would have to lissen to him.

so I expect Lowry and DeRozan to be gone by next season....maybe Biyombo.  I expect Casey to be still here. 

and I also expect that Masai will get back someone of value for Lowry, while working the draft and free agency to keep the team up..if not to snag a real star in the making.

or maybe if he kept Lowry, along with Carroll, and he can rope in someone like DeMarcus Cousins who surely is on the market.  Cousins would be a big risk but a good one to take to go over the hump.

but how much would he cost the Raps ::confused::

we would likely have to give up Lowry for Cousin plus a pick or some cash.  the Kings would need someone to replace Rondo who is likely to end up in New York or LA

just over 3 hours to take the series lead 


GOOOOOOO  RRRRAAAAAPPPPTTTOOOORRRSSS

I looked at the game after all last night and it was very interesting as usual.

Casey played Jason Thompson whom he should have played last game instead of Noguera...  he also played Patterson who had a very good game.

but he did not play james johnson which was a mistake.

that is a big problem with Casey.  he does not involve his bench nearly enough in games giving his opposition problems to devise strategies for more players.  and those players have something to offer

that is what I am asking..why are those players here whom Casey never play.  get rid of them and get players who can.  but those players can play.  it is Casey who does not play them..especially Johnson, whom he never plays.

that is terrible.

and again last night:  Casey does this terrible thing..to take out his key players near to the end of periods when he has crucial leads to protect.  he did that again last night pulling Lowry with a couple of minutes to go in the half and  and the Heat immediately go a ten zero run cutting the lead right down.

Casey does that all the time and the results have always been the same...opposition runs at crucial points in the game.

give the key players rest but not at those points in the game.  its the players off anyway.  they are all supposed to be ready to do the extra to win.

then again the question of time outs to attack opposition flow, steady your team and put in tactical plays

Casey is the most reluctant coach I know with time outs.  the man simply refuses to use his time outs.  they were designed to help teams deal with the game, the tactical flow of the game.  they are there to be used not to stockpile them.  if Casey got a penny for every time out he has pointlessly saved so far he would be rich

Toronto is better than the Heat...

but Toronto is tentative, still unsure of itself in the play offs.  Toronto played much better last nite, much freer than in recent years in a play off game.  Lowry and DeRozan played well...their shits fell. 

and for the first time Lowry was really clutch.  I have never seen that Lowry stroke before.  it was welcome indeed.

and Biyombo can play basketball.  there is no way I am letting him go.  I am keeping him and making him learn the 4 position over the summer while developing a rotation that would see he and JV on the floor at the same time.  I would make Biyombo into a very versatile player indeed who would be able to help the team in many ways.

and Casey must develop his rotations..develop his skill and willingness to use all his players.  his bench is very useful if he uses it to the max.  for some reason he appears to dislike or refuse to play James Johnson.  he similarly refused to play Jason Thompson who is a better option than Noguera in relief at the 5

Casey has a very decent team here.  it is he who is not using it to best advantage

maps you cant bench your stars and play your bench....i mean if they were developed during the season and have proven themselves i can see why Casey would put them in the playoff game.


he is still giving them chances to play - not everyone can play in the playoffs - right now we are need wins by any means necessary.
