There's a big difference between noting the fact a coach is on the hot seat and calling him a terrible coach that needs to be fired now. The Zach Lowe article has it in a part called "good coaches get fired - again" for the love of god....
If Casey was fired after the playoffs I think a chunk of the media would have supported or been ambivalent but that time has passed.
I hate to break it to you but the Fire Casey NOW stuff is largely limited to a select group of forum posters at RR, the RealGM forum and a few posters/commentators at a couple other sites. No one in the Toronto media or in the larger NBA media world is calling for Casey to be fired and I don't think any prognosticators ranked Toronto lower cause of Casey - they ranked them lower cause they didn't think the roster was very good and the rest of the East was improved. The casual fans who are crucial to the team are not on the Fire Casey bandwagon either. It's just that you guys have been talking to yourselves for so long you assume everyone else must think it, too. It's not the case.
I've seen him listed as on the hot seat for being fired on both Sports Illustrated and FoxSports, as recently as 2 weeks ago.
Media like Doug Smith might be upset and you might get a snide remark from media that largely ignores the Raps, but don't pretend that this is solely a "internet wacko" driven thing.

By that logic alone you admit that your point of his firing being limited to RR/RealGM and a few sites is invalid. If he is on the hot seat, regardless of whether it's deserved, then clearly it exists beyond those avenues as you suggest.

Who cares, Vinny Del Negro won CoM too. Other coaches like Pop lose games trying to integrate LMA or Stevens who has 15 odd parts and figuring out how to use them or Vogel with no Hibbert figuring out how to defend. The Raptors bench issues now will still be there in game 82
ah Wah can be said bout dat Big yute casey...hima Foo Foo Coach, him still naw undastand dat as de General, him must Put his team inside positions ta dominate, Why him naw Know Dat?
Casey seriously Why are you deliberately hurting the Raptor Squad??? Lucas "Smiling Assassin" Nogueira Should of Started From the jump, since You claim that your all about continuity, so you had a Good thang with Jonas starting and Bismack for 19mins so why hurt your own conituity and start The Chief(Biyombo) when BEBE who is POSSIBLY a BETTER DEFENDER, VERY BETTER OFFENSIVE REPPER. You would of lost nothing doing the right thang and starting Bebe.
Lucas would of had a chance to Prove himself, Bismack would still be doing great inside his normal role, and the Team would be actually 5 on 5 inside of 4 on 5...OH WAIT, Are you trying to hurt the career of Bebe like you Doing to James Johnson? Cause you don't like those guys?? Casey People is losing patiences respect the reppers on the Team and start Putting them into positions TO WIN.
Yo Family Check this blog about Darrel walker and Tracy Mcgrady you notice that and Dwayne casey and Lucas and Bruno???
The 1996-97 season proved to be a critical point in the careers of two young Raptors: Tracy McGrady, the promising 18-year old high-school draft pick, and coach Darrell Walker, the 2nd youngest coach in the league. The magical mentor-pupil relationship the front-office envisioned between the two quickly turned into a one-sided flogging, as Walker publicly scolded the youngster’s work ethic,claiming McGrady was “too cool”(Bahahahah) to work hard and would be out of the league in three years.
For most of the 1997-98 season, he received little playing time, averaging only 13 minutes per game under coach Darrell Walker .[7] McGrady has described his rookie year as "hell", feeling lonely in Toronto and sleeping for up to 20 hours a day.[8] Late in the seaso n, Walker resigned and McGrady began playing more under new coach Butch Carter on the condition that McGrady improve his work ethic.[7]
notice how depressed was Tracy Mcgrady that he was sleeping for 20 hours because of the coach hating him for no reason, the scumbag coach was trying to ruin the career of Tracy Mcgrady just like
dwayne casey Hurting Ross, Valunciunas, Lucas Noguiera, James Johnson...He is Hurting these guys careers!!!
casey Hurting the Team cause the coach hates some reppers on the Team..Take away your EGO Casey and use the guys that will Win Games for the Team whether you like them or not is not the concern of Tha Good (Toronto)Raptor Fans. This Team should of Won 50-55 games this year

People don't become fooled by the way we one a few games this stretch.
Raptors are NOT WINNING THE RIGHT WAY. Still making bad mistakes, still Iso, still not understanding that Bismack is Not Ben Wallace!! Still making bad substitution.
Yall Should be Praising how connected the Reppers are to each other and how even with the Madness of casey, the team is still overcoming the foolishness to Win.That's what happens when You have Scola and Motion(Joseph) who are natural Winners and come from Programs that are known to elevate The Squad.
Basically The Raptors are repping 4 on 6 every game if you include that Coach Casey is basically coaching for the Raptors opponents.
Remember that there were GAMES WHERE CASEY WOULD TAKE OUT THE REPPER(player not) THAT WAS ON A HOT STREAK!!! WHAT?? Yeah Fam the coach would seem almost deliberately to take out reppers that were getting Hot(sigh)...
I'm shocked that the Team is That Good, that they can overcome fighting against squads 4 on 5 plus have their coach, coach for the opponent with senseless substitution. Yet they Still WINNING!!!
Toronto aka Tha Good has something special with the Raptor Squad, Yet the reborn Darrel walker oops Dwayne casey is trying his best to destroy every entangibles, unselfish, passing mentality THAT ALL RAPTOR MEMBERS HAVE.....NO RAPTOR IS A SELFISH REPPER...They are learning bad habits from casey who is forcing demar to look selfish, and having Cory Joseph(Motion) ISO, yet the Team even with all those handicaps are STILL BALLING STILL DOING DAT DERE, STILL HITTING DEM SHOTS.
Let me say this Fam You Put Stan Van Gundy on this team as coach and they win 58-63 games, cause they would be Running and Gunning that reps to there strong points, they would also be cutting to the basket,
and they would not STAND THERE STARING AT GUYS DOING ISO!!! even saying this the Squad with all those handicaps....can still win 50-55 games(WOW) that's how good the Team can be!!!

Casey seems to have no problem whatsoever sitting guys if they're not doing what he likes/wants. See James Johnson (all the damn time), Jonas Valanciunas (especially in 4th quarters last year) and Ross (playing a career low 16mpg this season). So from that it should follow that Lowry and DeMar are not just going rogue out there with the iso ball and actually doing exactly what's asked of them from the coach, right?
