I think it took the embarrassing losses in the playoffs to admit that their style was wrong. And that was the proof they needed, not the stuff that the analytic community was trying to preach to them.
Don't get me started on guys like Leo Rautins and Doug Smith tho, huge yes men on whatever the coaching staff is doing who'd make snide comments about ignorant fan opinions all the time. As a commentator and a journalist, those guys have a chance to actually question things and speculate but they're just rah rah men."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

The cynic in me didn't believe that he could change, but he did. I'm soooo glad we get to watch beautiful basketball for the first time in years.... But I also wish it had happened sooner.
Personally, I was just as happy to watch a terrific Raptors team win a tonne of games - a team that would have made two finals if Lebron James played out west. So, I am happy watching the best Raps team ever, but I appreciate all the teams before as well.

Casey coached the system his boss wanted had a lot of success. His boss said ok lets try something new. Casey is successful with that system as well.
Point is what ever system you give Casey he will win with. He is that good of a coach. Which is what I've been debating for his whole tenure.
People making too much about this style change. Like we weren't successful before. This season could easily end just like 2016. Does that mean we need change styles again? Talent is the only thing that will make the real difference. Luckily this year we have way better role players. No more "one leg" Carroll and "starter material" 2pat to consistently leave Deebo/Lowry hanging.

It was like that friend everyone has who's got so much potential but is just stuck in a rut. You want so badly for them to snap out of it but sometimes it takes a hard look in the mirror. Now that friend has changed his ways and is kicking ass all over the place.

I disagree, style of play and chemistry matter a lot which is two things this team has locked down. Warriors, Spurs, Raptors, and Celtics are the only teams that have talent and play a team oriented game which is what wins championships. A well rounded team with great chemistry and style of play can contend with any stacked roster full of stars. Spurs have proven this time and time again. And we're not even talking about development, MU in just a few years turned around the whole development process for the raptors. I'd say we're near San Antonio level with our development and that's incredible.

"Casey coached the system his boss wanted" is something I've never read or heard from any reliable source.. I know Weltman defended Casey's offensive system, but I've never seen anywhere that Casey was told or even asked to use that system.If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.
