You'd think that someone supposedly as smart as Masai would realize that was a regular season team. Just like the Celtics last year. It's easy to rack up 52 wins in a bad conference when you have decent players that will work hard, or some unique sets on offense, but once teams have time to focus on your strengths, it's a lot harder to do anything. If they're gonna fire Casey, they need to fire the guy that gave DeRozan and Ibaka their contracts.

They won't be any better next year as long as DeRozan is still around. |

I think the Raptors, Leafs, Jays are like the Chiefs in a sense where they have organizational issues with respect to ownership. MLSE failed bigtime by not acquiring any superstars for the Raptors. Instead, they gave the fans Lowry and Derozan which I could appreciate, but will admit those two just aren’t good enough to help that team contend for a championship. They needed better but failed. There is nobody on this Raptors roster that is of the status or caliber of a Lebron James. Thats all this is. You wanna win championship in the NBA? You need a superstar to say the least. They don’t want to spend the money for a superstar nor try to make any trades for one. After witnessing this; Im skeptical about this ownership in that I don’t feel they’re committed to excellence. Championships aren’t the bottomline in Toronto, money is. As long as they make the playoffs, thats all that matters because then they’ll just up the ante on ticket prices and make a sh*tload of profit in return while disregarding the fanbase by not rewarding them with any championship teams. Whats amazing is how Torontonians fail to see this and support it. Bunch of hosers! Being a Torontonian, Im digusted because this feels like the middle finger to my face. I will never ever go see the Leafs, Raptors or Jays live. I have a feeling Toronto teams will build a reputation as regular season successors and playoff chokers. Firing Casey like you said is a scapegoat. Well said. Its just a cover to MLSE penny pinching problems by failing to addess the real problem in not acquiring a superstar and going from there to help build a better team. Lastly, **** MLSE |

When Lebrons career is over, people will judge him by what he was; an All Time great NBA player who often came up short on the NBA’s biggest and brightest stage. (BTW, I’m predicting at least 2 more NBA Finals losses for Lebron with maybe one more victory) We shall see. |

When people have the GOAT discussion and talk about guys like Jordan, Russell, Kareem, Timmy, etc. there’s a common theme. These players led the dominant teams of their era in the NBA and stuck with that one team through their era of dominance. They didn’t ‘team-hop’ and shop for the best situation like Lebron. I guess Lebron can be called the King of FA, but that reason, IMO, is why he will never measure up to Jordan or even a guy like Russell in the GOAT discussion. |
