Everything DeMarre Carroll

[JamesNaismith]

Yeah against garbage teams he looks "ok".

Yeah against garbage teams he looks "ok".

Over the past 5 games, he's averaging 17 PPG on 48%/39% with 5 rebounds and a steal per game, and the team's best plus-minus per game at +12.2, with games against decent to very good teams like the Rockets, Celtics and Bulls. OK?

The numbers don't tell the full story, he got destroyed by the Bulls/Butler after the 1st half when Butler woke up, he didn't look good against the Rockets and the Celtics he at best looked so-so. It's these last 2 games against garbage teams he's had "better performances" that has him winning some people over. We said this like a month ago when he looked half decent against the Rockets in our first match up and reverted to looking like garbage.

I'll more than gladly eat a double serving of crow if Carroll can keep this up against good teams and when he more consistently looks like this, then he does looks bad. His "ok" performances happen as few and in between as Ross scoring nights were like last year (and previous years). We'll see in a month's time if we're still singing his praises...

He didn't look good against the Rockets?

What game were you watching? The man was hitting heat check shots. I don't doubt its unsustainable but he was amazing in that game.

Have to disagree with you. He's looked good for that entire stretch, with the minutes where he hasn't looked good being far outweighed by the ones he's looked really good. I agree the Bulls game was rough for him, but it was rough for the whole team.

You're never going to eat any crow, because you don't like the guy and no matter how well he plays, you're only going to be looking at his negatives and ignoring his positives.

[tDotted]

He's been playing so well ever since Pascal hit the pine. Three 3's made per game since

[rightsideup]

I think the fact that bebe moves the ball so well benefits a fellow that moves with out the ball like DC it took awhile for this starting lineup to gel but it has. The Sabonis like pass from JV to DC although rare was beautiful.

[SkywalkerAC]

I was worried when I saw him helped off the court, glad it's not more serious (ie knee-related).

(wasn't watching the game properly at that point)

Surprised Carroll's TS% isn't half bad at 54.4%. DV/PJ should be the best SF rotation we've had in far too long.

With Carroll getting rest thanks to the All Star break, allowing him to get a rhythm going with his shot now that his finger is fully healed & with Tucker here to edge him on, we could see Carroll start to show glimmers of his true self. Plus, Carroll continues to show he's a good glass cleaner for a SF.

PJ Tucker is also a good rebounder from the 3 spot, nice to have.

Carroll is reaching bargnani levels for me. I mean the guy is straight up bad... for a guy making 15 million. No defense, No handles. He is useless on offense. Jyd 0.2 is more like it. I would say he is one of the worst small forwards in the league.

That knee injury may have for ended his career.

I think I'm alone in seeing that Demarre is looking healthier to recently. I don't think he will ever be ATL version.
DMC is decent at passing and cutting. In our system he just stands in the corner and waits for a broken ISO play from DD.
