If there is anything I know from Toronto fans, they hate their team if they aren't perfect every night. we could win 100-0 and not turnover the ball at all, and you would see comments like "yeah but this guy missed this shot, and should have drove and yada yada yada"
Whatever life as a Toronto sports fan, I fully expect this team to respond. If we put our nose to it, we can actually dominate the Wizards. Our D picked up and started making shots that we should be making in the first place and look we almost won. They seem to respond when they heavily get put down like right now.
Instead of me cursing this team and saying "I hate this team, wont win a championship with this roster", yes because game 1 means everything. Right? Yes I was emotional after game 1, but still rational thoughts are we will respond and no not saying we will win anything, Like I said we are a good team but work to be done to reach greatness level and Masai knows it and players know it as well
With all that being said, Casey is preventing this team from reaching their potential. Hey we need to play good D, so I will bench my best defender. It only makes sense. Than on top off that no signs of a defensive system, or a very horrible one. Sorry but this lack of D is 90% on Casey, I refuse to believe we have amnesia and forgot how to play good D.
One more thing, as much as I have been frustrated with Ross and with good reason, saying he is one of the bigger problems is flat out wrong. It's not like he is the only one who lets people run right past him, GV is pretty famous for that. Not sure why Casey keeps playing Ross when it's not working right now
I feel they respond and that's what I know from this team. Frustrating but very likable team when playing well
