Casey is a horrible strategist but a world-class BSer.
Case in point, the backbreaking play from Saturday night’s loss to the Raptors. It was an isolation for sixth-man extraordinaire Lou Williams, who banged in a step-back 3-pointer to extend Toronto’s lead to 102-97 with 31 seconds left. Here’s how Raptors coach Dwane Casey described the play: “We knew they were going to put their best defender [Luol Deng] on DeMar [DeRozan], and then they put their second-best defender [Wade] on Kyle [Lowry]. So that left [Tyler] Johnson covering Lou. And no disrespect to the young man [Johnson], but Lou can score. So we had the right matchup in that situation.”
Let's be serious... it doesn't matter what the match up was, it was always going to be a Lou iso. Since when does Casey change the final play depending on match-ups?
The fact that he feels he has to justify and explain tells that this forum is having an impact.
