Raptors fans remember. Once you’re past the disappointment, Kawhi delivered in one season what nobody else could over the previous 23 seasons. Larry OB. Not Vince. not Bosh. not DeMar.

I know that Raptor fans are still upset about the sweep. or sweeps, but Dwane Casey (with help from Masai, Kyle and Demar) changed the culture of one of the worst franchises in the NBA. And did it with class and dignity. which to me still means something.

Raptor fans don't act like you didn't just watch Kyle Lowry go from a dude ripped for his post-season play. to the greatest Raptor of all-time. I get it. Pascal Siakam was tough to watch, but one post-season in a bubble isn't the end. it's now time to learn and respond.

Here’s my take on the Raptors moves…. I think the DeMar DeRozan deal weighed so heavily on Masai Ujiri that he hedged on moving Pascal and Fred and O.G. – it cost him - and I don’t mind it. When you build a culture based on hard work, dedication and sacrifice…you need to be.

NBA rule book Section IV—The Coach. The coach’s position may be on or off the bench from the substitution box line (closest to the coach’s bench). A coach is not permitted to cross the midcourt line and violators will be assessed an unsportsmanlike technical foul immediately.
