If at the beginning of the season it was safe to say that eastern conference hasn't been so weak in decades, then now after these injuries I don't really don't know what to say, being 4th in the east, does not mean anything... Guys bringing up we are 2nd or we are 4th in the league though, and that's Caseys achievement argument, should really step outside the vaacum they are in...Official Pope of the Raptors sponsored by MLSE.

Beating a well below .500 team in the 1st round isn't really an accomplishment at all. If Casey can get us to the ECF then he deserves to coach next season, and we'll see how he does before picking up the option on his 3rd year.2006-07 NBA Coach of the Year

I am as big a Casey critic as anyone.
He does deserve a lot of credit for navigating the team over the last few seasons. There have been many obstacles, turmoil, and losing to overcome.
I've been saying for a while he is a stepping stone. That isn't an insult in my books.
He has taken the team as far as I think he is going to.
It is time for new blood.
GS is a good example. Mark Jackson did a similar thing - took the team from a lottery team, instilled a winning attitude, and took them as far as he could.
Sometimes you just need a new voice to lead and take you to the next level.
Based on the slipping defense, questionable sub patterns, and uncreative offensive schemes, Raps have reached that point with Casey, in my opinion.

It's not just getting to the 2nd round that's an accomplishment. It's the fact that you had to be 1st or 2nd seed to play sub 500 team in the playoffs. That's an accomplishment.
Because everybody totally expected TO to be 2nd in the east right now. We're totally underachieving...

Wow. Caps lock. lol
The Raptors are 6-7 versus Eastern Conference playoff teams with 2 of those wins coming from Atlanta before the rising from the Georgian ashes. Since November 26th the Raptors are 1-5 versus Eastern Conference playoff teams (lone win over Milwaukee - and yes, I know, but, but, but DeRozan was injured).
The record and standing is irrelevant. It is impressive from a historical perspective and the significance 2nd seed typically means but it also needs context. Right now the context is embarrassing. There are still a lot of games to be played and only 1.5 games separates 2nd and 4th. 5th is going to be Chicago or Cleveland.
The current chest puffing is coming from the prospect of playing Milwaukee, Charlotte, or an injury riddled HEAT team. Go Raps. Yay Coach!

But it's true that more objectively speaking, being better than some of the shite teams in the East doesn't mean much this season. "Second round playoff team" is less of a measuring stick this year than it would be in a more competitive year. The measuring stick now is whether or not the Raps can beat the Bulls, Cavs, and Wiz.
All that said, I'd be just as psyched for a second round appearance as the next guy.
I want Casey to prove us wrong and progress as a coach. Best the bulls in a 7 game series.
Make adjustments to the opponents adjustments.
