Season wrap
Prior to the season, the Raptors essentially abandon the Andrea Bargnani experiment, as new general manager Masai Ujiri sends him packing to the New York Knicks. Early on, Ujiri also unloads Rudy Gay in December and coach Dwayne Casey promptly incorporates four new players into the roster. From that point forward, the Raptors have the Raptors to the best mark in the Eastern Conference at 41-22. Casey directs the club to eight victories in the final 11 games in December and was rewarded with NBA Eastern Conference Coach of the Month honours. His 2013-14 squad finished in the Top 10 in the NBA in defensive field goal percentage (.450) and points allowed (98.0), and also posted a franchise-best 22 road wins. “I thank Tim (Leiweke) and Masai for providing me and my staff the platform this season to coach and now to continue the process of developing this young team,” said Casey. “We have taken some big steps toward our goal of installing a culture and a defensive mindset. The Raptors finish 48-34, winning the Atlantic division, as point guard Kyle Lowry established career highs in scoring (17.9) and assists (7.4), guard DeMar DeRozan earned his first All-Star selection, sophomore forward Terrence Ross moved into a starting role in December and increased his scoring average by 5.7 points and second-year centre Jonas Valanciunas led the team in double-doubles (25). But again they lose in the opening round of the playoffs, falling 4-games-to-3 to the Brooklyn Nets.
