Van Vleet is really the perfect summation of this Raptors team and many of the players on it. Just working hard to get better every single day, every game, every year. And really, doesn't Casey deserve a lot of credit for that? No, he's not a perfect coach and he deserves the criticism he's gotten in the past, but at the same time we've probably been too harsh on him. The players on this team continue to get better (I honestly think they have the best bench in the East, possibly the league), and as long as that continues he absolutely should not be fired. If this were before LeBron started the superteam era, this team would absolutely win a ring and he'd be considered a great coach. Much like DeMar, I think we don't appreciate him enough. It will always come down to the playoffs, but this is the best Raptors team ever, so we should still try and enjoy it while we can, who knows when we'll see a better one again.
