The Toronto Raptors may have fired Dwane Casey, but that doesn’t mean they’re not talking about him anymore.

The team took to Twitter to congratulate Casey on his Coach of the Year nomination, but the tweet came five days after Casey was fired from the team.

According to Sports Illustrated, Casey accumulated a 320-238 record since his 2011 start with the team.
