I believe this team has never finished a season with the winning road record in its history. Probably won't this year, either...

Yea.. those years we made playoffs we were taking care of business at home

Don't know if you are joking or not but I love Casey and everything he has been able to do with the Raptors, especially on the defensive end.

Tired of this kind of talk.. what have we won in the past 5 years.. NOTHING, and you wan't another head coach while the team is playing hard for him?

I might be misreading this but I understand it at the start and at the end if you split them in two. Though together they make less than 0 sense to me.

Good thing about Ross is that even when he "dissapears" he's still having an impact on the defensive end and helping spread the floor on offence. Foul trouble did keep him a little quieter than usual tho.

Solid win. Funny thing is, in the first half when WAS was hanging around, I never felt like they were a threat. The Raps would just get a stop or two and stretch the lead back to 5+ right away. But in the second half, towards the end of that run to get the lead close to 20, I started feeling nervous - the team started playing sloppy, the defensive intensity dropped again, and suddenly the game was close again.

Still, good to see the team close out the game, and once again show what they can do when they ratchet up the defense. Hopefully they can find a way to do that more consistently as the playoffs approach.

The reason Ross didn't contribute was because GV was having a good game and clearly DC didn't like the defense TR was playing on Wall so he took him out and put Salmons in. If GV wasn't having such a good game TR would've seen more minutes

Vince wasn't on the 47 win team. That team lost to Vince and the Net's in the playoffs.

He's talking about the 2000-2001 team that won 47 games. The team that won 47 games and lost to VC only won 18 road games
