I'm chock full of good vibes, and gave as much benefit of the doubt as I could in that summary, but to credit DeMar with this win in any way is reaaallly reaching.

Anyone who was criticizing Lowry during his shooting struggles without recognizing all the other stuff he was doing for the team doesn't deserve him. DeRozan doesn't do the other stuff. To his credit, he got some rebounds today. But his defence was suspect as usual, he barely passed at all, and he settled for a ton of ridiculously bad shots - and only managed to be as efficient (and I use that word extremely generously) as he was because he happened to get hot and hit some of those bad shots. And most nights in these playoffs, he hasn't even done the rebounding bit.
Look, he was fine, he did well enough not to wreck the team when everyone else was clicking. Good enough. But let's not lay on the praise tonight, he doesn't really deserve it.
i'm sorry man, but you guys are out of control.

He and lowry carried the team in the second half and that's why we have to give him credit
But Overall great team effort

He is capable of concerted effort on the glass, like this game with 8 boards. And should be capable of more assists than he had today. Some of those 17 first half shots might have lead to better shots from teammates.
I think a great summer plan for demar is intensive one on one defensive drills. Just get capable on a regular night and slightly more than capable on a good night and he would see the biggest in game improvement in my mind. He has the athleticism, he can clearly learn offensive moves so lets put that work ethic to a summer of on man defense drills. He still will never cover the best player.

Demar can rebound but I don't think last night was particularly good. 8 looks nice, but 4 of those were offensive boards off his own terrible miss where he was lucky that the Heat defender overplayed the shot and lost positioning to him. 4 defensive rebounds isn't really much of a concerted effort on the glass.
29 shot attempts is more than Lowry+any other Raptor. That is bad. 7 FTA sounds nice, but that is the same as Patterson and less than Kyle and BB8, so not really an impressive amount with the overall number of FTA we had.
Demar played badly. In the second half, he started taking some shots straight on (no fade) and they went in. Even though those aren't ideal shots to take, they were significantly better than what he has been taking these playoffs.
This guy has consistently failed to be one of our best 3 players on the court. He gets by on volume and homerism. This guy isn't worth what he's going to get paid.Heir, Prince of Cambridge

What an amazing game. Best in raptors' history. Everyone contributed. Unbelievable execution from Kyle Lowry. Smilin' Biz was also fantastic. And yuge credit to Dwane Casey for navigating the ship through the storm.Last edited by JimiCliff; Mon May 16, 2016, 07:58 AM."Stop eating your sushi."

homerism? special and christian. that is 2. 2 people on the whole site. counter them with oldskool and you. it is still not evenly split between rational judgement and we would just be better because reasons. not seeing much homerism there.

I have seen an awful lot of Raptors basketball, Kyle Lowry today is putting on the single best big-game performance in franchise history
