DETROIT – If you expected Dwane Casey to tamp down expectations at his public unveiling, you guessed wrong.
Like, you were off by a mile.
“Our time is now,” he said, ticking off the marquee names of the roster – Blake Griffin, Andre Drummond, Reggie Jackson. “I’m not afraid to say it. We’re not developing. We’re not two or three years away. We want to win now.”
If Casey’s introductory press conference at Little Caesars Arena – where, by the way, he’s undefeated – were a boxing match, it would be Hearns-Hagler. He came out swinging.
