Roughly a month ago, the Raptors were eliminated in an embarrassing sweep by the Cleveland Cavaliers. For most Raptors fans, it was a gruesome, pull-your-teeth-out experience. The Cavs demolished the Raptors game after game, and genuinely toyed with them at times. This eventually lead to the widespread calls of Dwane Casey’s firing.
The month of May has come to a close with a decision finally made:
Dwane Casey is officially returning as the Raptors head coach for the 2017-2018 NBA season.
No press conference. No PR announcement. The word got out from Casey simply confessing to a morning news show that he would return as coach next season.
