How about their usual nemesis (Bulls and the Hornets). On all those losses, Derozan was out there Healthy and Able to practice his Coach's vision of Isolation Basketball.
We used to put up a fight against contending teams most of the time and have beat some of them last year. This year our defence is just so much worse that we don't stand much of a chance.
We're now losing to teams we should be beating.
Funny how you go on tirades about Demar being so bad and saying we should trade him and how we'd be better without him and now that he's not playing you have nothing.....
I'm not sure what you understand at all.

It's funny how both our prized FA signings from last off-season, Carroll and CoJo are being vilified now. The concern for both of these guys was that they were "system" guys who wouldn't fit into the Raps 'Kyle & DeMar' show. Seems to have been a valid concern.

I've never heard this but from Raptor fans. There's a HUGE drop from our top 2 players (all-stars) to our 3rd best (if you can even tell the different between 3rd and 5th).
We're weak at SF and weak at PF perennially! Where does this deep crap keep coming from?
Also, when a team loses arguably their best player/scorer they struggle. Period. No coaching staff looks forward to this time.
Coaching skills??.... lmao. You must be joking. There is only one Greg Popovich. You need to give up this notion that coaches can consistently win with scrubs. This is a star's league my friend. The more top end talent the better.
I had a feeling we would struggle without Demar.... now I'm praying Lowry holds up. You can keep waiting for great opportunities to see Casey's coaching skills. lol

Each one I thought were horrible overpays, I (like many others) was right.

It's all good y'all.
I mean I've been saying it for a long time now... Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different outcome is the definition of insanity. I don't know what people really expected. Adding Sullinger was a cosmetic move at best and some posters acted like he was the missing link.
Our problems run deeper than that and until they are addressed we're really not that much better than the other non-Cavs teams in the East.

Interesting.
The Cavs have still been .500 over the last 10, the Rockets are 4-6 with 4 of those losses being to GSW, MEM and the scorching hot Heat. We're 2-8 and have dropping games to the Suns, Magic and Sixers. We've looked awful and this is more than the past 10 but almost a month now of terrible basketball. The Cavs are still 1st, the Rockets have 6 more wins than we do and I like our odds the least of any to do anything in the Playoffs, that's for sure.

Like most coaches, he obviously prefers the ball moving through the hands of his best players and allows them to read and react. This isn't very different from most coaches (if you actually paid attention).
