Basketball :Toronto Raptors - ketchim - 03-02-2017

Without Lowry to worry about, teams are loading up on DeMar DeRozan.
As good as Ibaka and Tucker have been in their short tenure in Toronto,
neither is fully up to speed offensively and no one else has yet stepped up
to fill in for those 23 points a night the team is missing without Lowry.

The win moved Washington a full game ahead of Toronto for that vital third spot
in the East, a spot which ensures a meeting with Cleveland
no earlier than the Eastern Conference Final.

Re: Raptors tonight - mapoui - 03-10-2017
Casey has me pissed. if the team is not ready to do its job every night its his responsibility.
he bawled for defense. he got defense! he shud be constantly devising the ways he needs to shut down his opposition. if he loses 23 points per game with Lowery out, he can get it only, or mostly, by taking it away from his opposition with high class defense/defensive schemes
that at least shud be Casey's aim..to limit totally the scoring of his opposition.
instead of that we get some nights the opposition's offense running away scoring at will..and the Raps cant catch up because they have no scoring to do so.
what the hell was the point of getting Ibaka and whats his name then..if the team still cant play defense to the level required for them to win ::confused:: ::confused:: ::confused::
this is Dwayne Casey's fault. he is supposed to be the defensive guru around these parts..and the head coach
Re: Raptors tonight - ketchim - 03-10-2017
Ibaka and PJ tucker working hard man.
Casey's defensive plays are really strange.
Appears he doesn't know the Oppo in the paint ....plays
so defense always out of position !
Re: Raptors tonight - mapoui - 03-11-2017
Casey has always pissed me off. he is such a personable man who fits Toronto to a T. I dont want to see him replaced but he has to tighten up on the defense
Re: Raptors tonight - ketchim - 03-11-2017
Lost to Atlanta
hope we can beat Heat in their yard, tonight !
