Based on career PER, this week includes a visit from the NBA’s best player to never make a Conference Final (Anthony Davis), the third best player to never make a Conference Final (Blake Griffin), and a date with (a presumable or potential) Raptors Conference Final opponent (Boston Celtics). Yet, the biggest name to look forward to this week is the return of Dwane Casey.
Easily the franchise’s most successful head coach, Casey amassed a 320-238 record (the only coach in franchise history to have a career winning record), won Coach of the Month on five different occasions (each in a different season), and famously won the Coach of the Year award — shortly after he was fired.
