Refs were brutal. Anyone still want to criticize me for criticizing Casey's rotations? Full retard again today. Why the hell wasn't he calling for JV to get the ball in the paint more often? He scores 13 points in the first quarter and only two points for the rest of the game! Wtf! At least run a few plays for the guy. Ross starts off red hot and then gets nailed to the bench. He goes with an almost exclusive bench lineup in the 2nd quarter and they completely fall apart. Salmons (-20) and Hansborough (-15) in limited minutes. Novak inexplicably getting minutes over Ross again. Retarded coaching/reffing today.

Ross with 18..... He better play the majority of the 2nd

Finally he hits one.

Where is Amir??? Why is Novak still on the floor???

Hansborough and Salmons -15 each in 10 mins. All that really needs to be said. Terrible rotations.

Novak is terrible. PLEASE get him off the floor

Can't explain this s***.

Ross puts up a quick 11 pts and gets nailed to the bench?

Why isn't one of Ross or JV on the floor...? There is ZERO offense on right now. Christ Casey

Great shooting. Things are slowing gown now though. I think we'll win this

Argos will most definitely be at BMO with that investment. I think they can co-exist. Everyone wins. Better BMO. Rogers Centre gets real grass. Toronto sports scene is on a massive upswing.

Phx can't miss. Step it up defence.

JV and Ross on fire! Amazing... Two second year players showing incredible growth.

Raps game is a no brainer. They're on fire today

Killing it!!!

JV on fire

Sens are trying to fight the refs. LOL

OMG and they WIN IT!!!!!!!

Scored 3 goals in the last few minutes to tie it up with .4 seconds left. Insane.

OMG epic comeback from the Habs. That was insane!

Sounds about right.

Has anything interesting happened this spring? I haven't paid attention at all.

I'm not throwing Casey under the bus. He's had a positive contribution. I just think that this team could be even better than they have been. For example, last night he had Steve Novak playing the 4 at one point and Memphis ended up going on a big run during that period. You cannot get away with that in the playoffs against top notch competition. Our starters are just playing SO well right now and they got us back into the game and eventually took it over in the 4th. I'm am not advocating that Casey gets fired. He's a fantastic defensive coach and I would re-sign him for sure. I give him tons of credit. Everyone has bought in to his defensive schemes and they work hard for him. But he's still fairly green and I just hope that his rotations don't hurt us in the playoffs. Another thing that is irritating to me is how quickly he goes away from Ross and JV in favor guys who provide marginal value. Say if we had a really solid defensive centre who can change a game with his rebounding/shot blocking..... I could justify taking some minutes away from JV. But Hayes provides almost no value. He's a decent defender who can disrupt some shots but he doesn't have much tread left in the tires. He's a huge offensive liability as well. We can win games and continue to help our young guys get valuable minutes at the same time. John Salmons and Chuck Hayes do not need to play 20 minutes a night. Terrence Ross does absolutely everything better than John Salmons but Salmons continues to get equal/better minutes. That makes no sense at all and hurts us long term. He seems to have a bit of a veteran bias and that's not really a good thing.

That second half was terrible. Seattle outplayed them so much. Possession was like 70/30 in favour of Seattle! Not promising.. but we'll take the 3 points. Seattle is a tough place to play.

Seattle dominating possession but they aren't getting in the box much.
