Seriously go start again. Put on your moderator glasses for objectivity.
CRF nailed it. The thread has been over taken with attacks on criticisms and subsequent defence of criticism.
Hero ball and poor coaching decisions nearly blew the game.

Just an observation...there is obviously a residual effect of spilled blood (not congealed yet) of the past resurrected here....with, it seems the same conversants on either side of the debate. There will be other games with possibly losing outcomes and similar play by DD. Lets please temper the back'n forth on the subject? Can we just make our points and move on? Or we may risk a good/fun thing going on here. Thanks.

Until then, opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one and they most often stink

Pointing out rightful criticisms of particular aspects of a player's performance within a single game is exactly what a post-game analysis is meant to be, and doing so doesn't mean you're criticizing the player in general, or in overall/absolute terms.
That's why I don't understand the backlash against anybody pointing out negatives in the game, especially when it comes to DeRozan. Hell, I even lead off my criticism with 2 compliments - I said that his overall effort and rebounding impressed me, and said that I was even willing to overlook his dreadfully inefficient scoring night. My only criticism of him was to say that in a game when his shot wasn't falling (and he wasn't getting the calls), his reversion to hero-ball in the 4th quarter (basically poor decision-making to force his own offensive game via ISO-plays) helped fuel Atlanta's run, which almost resulted in a huge blown lead.
You've yet to come back against me with anything to dispute my criticism. You kept telling me to stop bringing up negatives and that "I just don't get it". I think my assessment of DeRozan's game - both the positive and negative aspects - was quite fair. I also think he should easily be able to improve in future games, so it's not like I was criticizing him in general terms; my criticism was limited to the 4th quarter of game 1.
