Not necessarily looking off Jonas, but deciding what he's doing to do with the ball before the defense reacts. And the final 15 minutes last night showed more of the same. Head down, tunnel vision, driving into set defenders.
But nope. Because he wasn't getting any calls, he already made up his mind he was shooting the J.
Bad, bad tendency of his when he's frustrated.

-Post up, foul on Lebron, makes 2 of 2
-12 foot jumper, makes.
That's it. After the 2nd one, my GF who casually watches with me but knows next to nothing, said to me "why don't they give it to big JV more? He always makes it in he's so good!" My soul cried a little.

Around the 10:30 mark of the 3rd quarter last night, JV was WIDE open under the basket and looked away by Demar again. The ball swung around the perimeter, and you could see JV do a shrug and sigh. Eventually Powell drew a foul and went to the line. With the play whistled dead, JV looked at Kyle and put his arms up like "fuck man I'm open". During the free throws, Kyle walked over and said something to Demar (I took it to be something along the lines of "JVs choked you looked him off again". Then between free throws, he walked to JV and said something(I took it be something along the lines of "stay up big fella we'll keep trying".
I rewound and showed my girlfriend the whole sequence and she went "you're right that's exactly what happened"
Few takeaways:
-JV frustration is definitely mounting
-Kyle is clearly the leader, moderator, go between (we which we probably already knew)
(jumping to conclusions on this point)-Demar does not consider JV a scorer on this team, he's the man and Kyle is the 2nd man, JV just needs to set screens for him.
-Demar is also terrible at looking inside in general (this point we defintely already knew)

Or did she...we'll never know...
Happy to hear your trade proposals? Any thoughts?

Now, it will be interesting tonight, coming off a bad shooting game, whether he responds by doubling down if he's not on fire again or if he recalibrates. That's the last change from DD I really want to see. Can he change gears if it's not going well.
That's how I look at it, that's how I grew up watching basketball and watching some of my favourite players. Allen Iverson was one of my favourite players, he'd be in a game 11-for-35 but he won the game.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

But DeRozan has to adjust. Driving into 4 opponents in an attempt to "force" contact, is not the way to earn calls.
