This past week, perhaps the most controversial topic in the NBA was the news surrounding the Toronto Raptors’ decision to make a drastic change to their coaching staff.
The Raptors notched a 59-win season in 2017-18. This was good for the top seed in the Eastern Conference and second overall in the entire NBA. Only the James Harden-led Houston Rockets earned a better record this season.
Dwane Casey was responsible for Toronto’s regular season success, so the team’s Front Office is holding him accountable for their early exit from the playoffs.
Reaching only the second round of the 2018 NBA Playoffs, the Toronto Raptors were swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
