    He's out but he is not the coach of the year.

    That award has not been announced yet.

    Coach of Year voted by his peers.

    But either he had to go, or the core.......they decided on the coach.

    Raptors Fire Casey Before Official Coach of the Year Award is Announced!

    He will probably win Coach of the Year but he is already fired.

    Well this Raptors team did get swept after being the number one seed in the East.. Most embarrassing... A little of the blame has to fall on the coach..

    Thats hard to say.....but regardless, Toronto needed a change, a culture re-set. Casey did an excellent job taking them from a bottom feeder, to a contender. Raps have improved on their win total 6 of the 7 years under Casey. You just cant get swept 2 straight years to the same team.

    Raptors backcourt reminds me of monte Ellis/Steph curry back in the days - to dam small with no defense - same thing with -dame/cj for Portland

    Raptors ran into a Lebron James buzz saw.. If Lebron stays in Cleveland that spells trouble for every team in the East next year also..

    Next year will be no different for the Raptors no matter what they do or who they fire..

    I like the message that Masai is passing along. Winning 59 games in a season means d!ck all without some success in the playoffs.

    I threw a number out a few days ago along the lines of in the last 5 years, the Raps have won like 63% of their Regular season games, and only 35% of their Playoff games. Thats a problem.

    Joe Girardi was 1 game from the world series and was "not brought back"

    Looks like it's working okay for both teams so far.

    Your joking right? Brown has turned a team that won 10 games 2 years ago, into a 50 win team. THis was their first go around in the postseason, and he was able to manage to win a series. Unfortunately for them, inexperience on the players and himself got the best of them. But Casey has been given 5 opportunities. He has won just 4 playoff series in 5 years, and 3 of those took 7 games with home court advantage.
