So I had hoped that we would see a return to Horns or something equally creative this year, but it doesn't look like it. At some point Masai needs to step in and tell the coaching staff to come up with an offense that can execute reliably down the stretch, or get replaced.

They Raptors do everything they can to get a mismatch and try to abuse that mismatch. Very similar to last years faltering offence, which worked against crappy teams but not good ones. Now their are many parties to this including Casey, Lowry, and Demar. Masai's got to find out which ones are the guilty parties and move on from them, because the offence sucks. Personally I'd start with Demar and Casey.
I assumption is that Casey is gone after this season. I'd look to the assistants on the Spurs and Warriors to replace him. Luke Walton is 12-0 and Becky Hammon would be a very cool story.
