One guy I don't want to hear excuses for this year is Lowry.
Casey has reduced his workload significantly. Minutes are much lower and his minutes are less stressful with 3 other guys often taking over the primary ball handling duties (DeMar, FVV, Wright).
I don't want to hear about an elbow or whatever excuse in the playoffs this year. Show the fuck up. No decompressing in the locker room or fraudulent play.

Similarly, we hated on DeRozan because he was stubbornly sticking to low percentage shots. He stopped doing that too.
My issue is still that it took too long and it shouldn't have been mandated by Masai, but small quibbles.

Poor me because my wall is all bare and full of punch holes.

I still think it's funny that Chr1stianL has nothing to post in this forum now that more or less everyone has become Casey and DeRozan fans. *waves at Chr1stianL*

Things have completely turned around because Casey has completely turned his strategies and style around. In fact it is almost as if he sate down and read through four years worth of thread posts and then took the advice of all the posters who thought he couldn't coach. Well, actually he couldn't coach well until he started doing things differently.
He made the stars accountable.
He changed his defensive system to make maximum use of his personnel, no longer leaving JV hung out to dry.
He encouraged everybody to start taking shots, not simply feed his stars.
He lost his fixation on using veterans and started mixing and sorting skill sets to create matchup problems for the other team.
He stopped trying to follow what the other team was doing and dared to play big when they played small. Other teams now have to match the Raptors.
He insisted that his stars make the pass that gets to the player who can pass for the assist.
Previous posters who complained about Casey's coaching weren't wrong. The fact that he changed his coaching and the Raptors have had unprecedented success is actually proof that they were right.

To be fair to Chr1s1anL, I was one who didn't think Casey was capable of making these obvious strategic changes. So I was wrong in that regard.
I was right that Casey's old habits were hurting us.
I was wrong about Casey being able to fix things.

Kudos to those who believed in Casey in an abstract sense - your faith is rewarded. And to those like me who wanted to see the systems change, who cares if we were right or wrong? We get to watch the very systems we hoped for. All is well.

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.
