DeRozan is pissed - and rightfully so. (Update: Jason Kidd weighs in, see post #30)

That's interesting. Easier said than done of course. Alot of rookies have other more seasoned players on their teams who have earned the BS respect of the BS refs. So it's not always "on them" to get the calls. I really think what team you play for is a factor as well. If he played for the Lakers or C's he might get more calls.

Demar is laying it all on the line cuz in the absence of Bargs, nobody on our squad has "earned" any of this amorphous "respect" of our corrupt officials

It's true, though. Demar doesnt have the fanfare of superstars or even second year "stars" yet. He's got to build his rep and show up every night before he starts getting those calls.

It was nice to see him pissed though.

Yeah, established players get the benefit of the doubt.
