A key guy sits
Our seats were in the corner and were better than many in that spot in various arenas because we weren’t too high or too far away from the court.
And I had a perfect angle to see precisely what the coaches have been harping about with DeMar all season; and if any of you are ever at a game, watch it closely. It’s not something you can see on TV but it’s a huge problem with his game.
When they run stuff for him that involves him curling off a screen, or cutting across the lane, he simply does not work hard enough to get open.
He kind of lollygags at times, doesn’t use his body to get separation from his man and won’t use screens effectively.
I believe he was miffed after the game – he apparently tweeted “Straight Bulls#!+" on the bus to the airport – but here’s what I think someone needs to say to him:
Play better. Work harder. Be more effective. Then you’ll play, as you have in every fourth quarter in every game this season.
