Everything (2016-2017) Regular Season Game Threads

Clearly, the Raptors have forgotten the faces of their fathers.

This is my biggest worry about this team. When you have a coach who doesn't ever see his faults and constantly does the same thing expecting different results you cant go very far. We already arent playing well. To have coach who will lose you games and make it even worse definitely doesnt help. If Casey would come out and say my bad it wont happen again kind of thing I would be cool but thats never the case with him so you cant even be optimistic. *sigh*

After allowing Carroll to start every game eventually you have to realize Casey is a stubborn idiot.

GAME 1 - OCTOBER 26, 2016 TORONTO 109, DETROIT 91
DeMar DeRozan scored 40 points and Jonas Valanciunas added a career-high 32 as the Toronto Raptors opened their season with a 109-91 victory over the Detroit Pistons. DeRozan made a career high 17 field goals on 27 shots and was a perfect 6 for 6 from the free throw line, while Valanciunas was 10 for 15 from the field to go along with 11 rebounds … Tobias Harris had 22 points and Marcus Morris had 17 points and nine rebounds for the Pistons, who lost for the eighth time in their last 11 games against Toronto … DeRozan broke Vince Carter's opening-night record of 39 points, set against the-then New Jersey Nets in 2003.
