Washington Wizards forward Paul Pierce spent the last four games casually tormenting the Toronto Raptors on and off the court, culminating in a humiliating sweep.
Pierce cost the front-office money, got in the heads of the Raptors’ fans, players and even the media that covers the team.
According to Greivis Vasquez, the Raptors are lacking a guy with the sublime trolling powers of The Truth.
"Basically, we need a Paul Pierce," says Greivis Vasquez. "You need to be a little bit of an asshole like he is … that's what we need."

Toronto may also be in the hunt for a new coach, as the vultures have begun circling around the embattled Dwane Casey.
Lowry: "I respect Casey as a man. He’s a hell of a guy. At the end of the day, like I said, it’s not my choice, it’s not my decision."

DeRozan: "I know Case gets a lot of flack. Case is a great coach. I've got to give him credit. He pushes day in and day out."

Casey to DeMar: 'This is his team, he and Amir have been here the longest …. if he doesn't agree with something, speak up."
