Brain Colangelo was in the crowd for the nightmare in Boston and has choices to make

The Raptors game @ the TD Garden in Boston was a complete nightmare for Bryan Colangelo as the Celtics beat the Raptors 100-64 and they were shooting 62.2% from the floor in the first half and ended the game shooting 52% from the floor. The Raptors did have a shot @ the 8:31 mark of the first quarter and Amir Johnson missed a free throw and then the Celtics went on a 16-1 run and by the end of the first quarter the Celtics were up 29-16 and the Raptors did not have any fight in them and Dwayne Casey was unable to find a group of five to lean on as Ed Davis was 12 boards and 10 points was the only Rap to play over 27 minutes and played 38 and a half minutes. Arron Gray played well to start the game with 4 points and 4 boards in the first quarter and ended with 8 points and 9 boards and Jerryd Bayless scored 14 points to lead the Raps.

Colangelo has given Dwayne Casey very little to work with because DeMar is the most skilled scorer behind Bargnani and is not been very productive this season averaging 14.4 points and 3.6 boards with 5 games of over 20 points and 9 games of 11 or less points. Most of the rest of team are likely not playing very many minutes with the upper class teams in the NBA like James Johnson who still in unable to hit a mid level jumper and Amir Johnson still has not put together enough big rebound games as he has a stretch of 6 of 8 of double digit boards and has not had a double digit board game in the other 15 games and three double digits in points three times this season. Jerryd Bayless still has not been a very good passers and just like Barbosa if they do not have a good shooting day then the team has very bad shooting game as Barbosa puts up a lot of shots and he does not get to the line. While Kleiza, Gary Forbes, and Rasual Butler are simply bench players and Anthony Carter and Solomon Alabi do not find the floor and tonight both played 4 and a half minutes which tells us that Casey throw his hands in the air and given up the game.

Brain Colangelo has not put together good teams and the only time the Raps made the playoffs his first season as GM of the team and the team has gotten worse and worse over the next few seasons and now has brought in a defensive coach Casey who does not have defensive players to get the job done. Colangelo is finished his contract at the end of the season and if he is unable to improve the team @ the trade dead line than he maybe finished but Casey needs to stay with or without Colangelo.

Casey is one of the best Raptors coach
