Thanks, I try to be safe about it but that doesn’t excuse it.

@cr7 I’m not driving anymore but yeah, Stevens is one off the best coaches in the East. I think Spoelstra is also up there considering what he did with that bullshit Miami team he had. But league wise? No way Stevens is up there.

Go back to 5 years ago when the Celtics hired him, and how I stated that I absolutely hated seeing that happen.
And then take a look at his work now, especially in the last 2 seasons with the injuries they had.

And Steve Kerr has coached 1 less year than Stevens, so I'm not sure why coaching for that long is somehow seen as a negative.

As a diehard Raptors fan I will chime in.
Dwane Casey is a completely average coach. Sucks in the playoffs. No adjustments. Had all regular season to experiment with lineups just in case we needed Plan B, C, D etc to stop CLE's lineups. He did nothing. Rolled Ibaka + Valanciunas for 82 games and then was like, "Oh shit we can't start both against CLE". Too late.
Newsflash: Cleveland is going to go small. They've done it 3 years in a row to us!
I actually love DeRozan. As does every Raptors fan. But he's not a great player. Raptors have been better with him off the court for like 5 years in a row. He's an abomination defensively. His biggest strength is he gives you slightly above average offence and can do it for tons of possessions. This skill set is better on a team who is trash and needs someone to shoulder the load.
But on a contending team you need better than garbage defence + slightly above average offence from your best player.
The Raptors are/were good because Lowry is much better than Derozan. And their bench players are all starting caliber players. The new coach Nick Nurse is way ahead of Casey in mindset. He's new school and actually uses mathematics to come to decisions. Casey is old school.

No other coach would have let the best shooters ever...... shoot?
You wilding fam.
Don't know what you have against Stevens, he is clearly an amazing coach. He has made role players look like all-stars. One of the few teams where the system trumps the player quality.
