Rumour: Dwane Casey & James Johnson Did Have Another Falling Out

I would wager that Mr. Singh may have written his own bio.

In my mind, he looks like this:

Yeah, not sure why people are going on and on about this, when this is the bio of the author:

Reminds me of that other thread about Miles Plumlee for Terrence Ross that was based on Youth Health Mag.

Unless we hear it from a legit journalist it's just a lot of sound and fury.

If this is true...and that's a big IF, than this is a greater testament to Casey's failure. Again, Phil Jackson and other great coaches have had to deal with players infinitely more loopy than James Johnson and not only did they nullify any negative effect they would have on the locker room, they found a way to pull the best out of them on the court as well. Apparently Casey can't do either. Epic Failure...if this really happened, then this convinces me more than ever that Casey needs to be fired and doesn't have what it takes to be a head coach of an NBA team. Part of the job is negotiating the tensions between the personalities that these volatile thoroughbreds have. It's an absolutely essential component of a great coach...so Casey doesn't have this either.

'Epic Failure'. That about sums up DC.

If it IS true then you have a seriously good point. If JJ did cause a disturbance then it was a f*&**$ catastrophic one - and it changed a legit contender into the crap we see on the floor today.

All the critisism on Casey pre-all star break didn't mean sh!t. We were a legit contender, easily a team on the rise and no one could discount our chemistry. All the critisism didn't matter because whatever Casey was doing, IT WAS WORKING.

hmmmm Ive been trying to figure it out and maybe thats what caused our turn-around. Im a fan of JJ but f*#% him if it's true. Show him the door if its true.

This team was never a contender. Please stop

hahahahahaaa

For the record, TSN's Lewenberg has come right out and said this rumour is nonsense, and he'd be far more connected with the team than whoever is running the HHC account.

Yeah, not sure why people are going on and on about this, when this is the bio of the author:

Meh. This story, or another, something was horribly wrong with that team. And I don't care what people say, James Johnson is a better player than his minutes showed.

Most people would agree

Does mlse write his checks? Toronto media is pretty biased, is it not?
Either way, I really Do doubt that HHC has this kind of inside knowledge.

oh convinced are you? ummm how about the fact we were swept from the playoffs losing the last game by 30+. Casey needs to be fired? thanks Mr.obvious SMH

[OldSchool]

Wow, how can you argue with this level of ignorance. Are you saying that all stats become flawed because one outlier stat that you pulled out of your ass seems dubious? Are you really suggesting that? Wow, that's the height of stupidity.

No you dumbass. This was infact, part of a larger conversation. If you weren't involved then see your ass out the conversation and go act like a badass somewhere else. Im not trying to remember all the little points of that convo just to satisfy some dude on the internet who thinks he knows it all. Butt out

Unless you were involved in the convo and now you're just using another Screen name...youre still a loser if this is the case lol

"deasn't mean he's a better player"...but wait, the stats say he is!! lol

dude you bring up stats to try to prove your point. Then when i show a stat thats true but doesn't mean jack on the court... all of a sudden stats aren't important to you?! exactly. SMH

Wow, you are starting to sound like somebody the Raptors would plant here to say crap like that. What you just wrote is complete and utter horse crap. If you actually think that and you aren't some kind of manipulative piece, than you're ridiculous. If the team had a closed door meeting where they are intended on airing out thoughts and concerns, the truth needs to be more important than egos. If it isn't than the culture of the team is failing. There is no question that Casey sowed the seeds of a star caste system on this team and that it ultimately destroyed this teams chemistry. If you don't believe that then you haven't been paying attention.

[Gman]

Remember that James Johnson-Jeff Teague all star campaign on ig? Something must have really happened in the locker room that's not being shown on open gym. Well, at least it's still not as bad as Indiana's self-destruction last year imo.

Worse than Indiana's. Much worse.

[Gman]

Damn and all the problem started about 2 month ago !!! It makes you wonder if JJ was not on this team and the dressing room was not the divided, we would have had better outcome !!!

Yes because all truth should be barred from the dressing room. Damn, JJ. Damn you and your truth telling. This team could have been so much better had it remained on course to baby it's faux all stars and...oh wait, that's what happened and we sucked. Thanks for playing...
