Game #38: Philadelphia 76ers 84 - Toronto Raptors 100

Does anyone know if DD is returning tonight?

[breakin_ankles]

He is cautious but he did hitch his wagon to DC last May. He could have gone in a different direction.

Why would he obliterate the set up that brought you to a surprising 48 wins? This season will reveal issues.

Many posters have valid criticisms of DC. I am just saying up until he resigned DC he could have said he was not his guy since hired by BC.

They needed Casey to resign the free agents. Harder to sign if there isn't a head coach. Mission accomplished now turf the dumbass.

Where is zainab with the inside scoop ?

GS replaced Jackson, the season before Memphis replaced Hollins. Both had been successful, and both teams carried on.

If Masai thought as little of Casey as you and a number of others do, he would not have rehired him. Is Casey a great coach? I don't think so. But he is competent.

Signings occurred months ago. Casey is still here. Logic fail.

They wanted Lowry to resign. Casey was signed to a two year extension when Fischer got 5 years and Scott 4. Masai didn't want to try to resign the roster with a huge question mark at head coach when there were numerous vacancies for coaches.

That is a fair point. I question though whether MU has it in him to fire DC if it clear things are not working out.

MU has a tendency to be too loyal and too generous. He's the anti - Morey.

Spoke to a Raps staffer re: DeRozan. No real update, could still play tonight but is up to medical staff & based on workout results.

Casey on DeRozan: “I’m sure there will be minute restrictions on him...but the old rule is ‘if you’re in uniform, you’re ready to play.'"

Man, I really hope DeMar plays tonight. Really want him to shake some of that rust off against a crap team like Philly.

Shouldn't Casey know this. He sounds like a reporter who needs to check his sources.

If GV & LW are in the backcourt together, Nogueira should be playing C. A shot blocker is needed behind those two.

Yeah, Bebe would look better on a poster than TH or 2Pats. The hair.
