I don't know what that means?
He averaged 30ppg in the 2 games against the Cavs and Warriors last week. Scored 30 against DEN the other night. He was terrible against the Kings. But i think the Kings have his number. His 2 worst games this season were against the Kings.
Last night he scored 25 on 52% shooting 7 assists 4 rebounds. I'll take that every night.
DeRozan is the Raps ONLY consistent scorer so far this year. The MAIN issue is he's not getting much help from the other guys specially from Patterson, Joseph and Carroll.
Defensively he's brutal, the whole team defensively is brutal. This is the biggest concern right now.Mamba Mentality

Blake Griffin sure took it to the Raps last night... you can see firsthand how having 3 AS level options can really put some distance between teams... The raps are a pretty good test for just about anyone but the Clips just didn't slip up when the Raps made their pushes.
The clips with Paul / Griffin / Jordan were a handful and we didn't have an answer for them last night. The raps are pretty good but to get into that top echelon of teams this year...... Cavs / GSW / Clips and maybe the Spurs... Ujiri is going to have to find another guy, preferably a big, or hope that one of JV or Ross takes a really really big step up or that a trade presents itself.
Making that next step up is pretty damn hard.Last edited by Demographic Shift; Tue Nov 22, 2016, 06:16 PM.There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

I don't like when people use analogies about Hitler to make a point about poor officiating. That's not a healthy dialogue imo. I'm being sanctioned and escorted to a private room for addressing it? That's fucked up.

Yes, I don't take kindly to bullying or Hitler references. We got enough hate crimes in the world atm. I don't want to come here and read Hitler analogies, thx.

First, if anybody has an issue with how they're being treated, they can contact a fellow member via PM. If that doesn't work, they are free to contact an Admin/Mod. While noble, it is not your place to jump in, which the rules clearly state.
Second, the specific comment you attempted to moderate did not include anything that was even borderline racism, etc... (ie: your Hitler reference). It was also clearly a tongue-in-cheek remark that was actually calling out a poster for being a sane voice of reason. It very clearly was not a personal attack.
Third, you are not being sanctioned. You and everybody else are being reminded of the rules, both so you can address any issues you may be experiencing, and so everybody else doesn't need to have a good thread derailed by an off-topic discussion.
Please respect the forum rules, I don't want to have to remind you publically again.
EDIT: any further discussion on the topic should be done via PM, as advised multiple times.Last edited by CalgaryRapsFan; Tue Nov 22, 2016, 05:25 PM.

JawsGT wrote: View PostGood read Barolt! The thing I find odd about the refs decision is that it now opens the door going forward for any team finding itself in a similar situation to Sacramento's to request a review of the play to see if there was a measurable delay in starting the clock, or clock malfunction as it has been labelled. You lose a game to a buzzer beater, you can request a review of the play. Of course, that request can be denied and would be unless the refs thought there may have been a problem, but basically every play like that can now be scrutinized (and likely will be) by teams and fans. And given the extent of social media and all that, I think the NBA opened a can of worms here. They may regret this decision if people start posting evidence of plays that should have been reviewed but were not and would have affected outcomes of games.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum
