His value can't be judged by playoffs alone and especially when it's only been 2 games so far. It's a bad match up for him against George, but I think he's going to have a better performance as the series goes on.

Coming off a couple days rest, I expect George to log heavy minutes in Game three. The problem with DeMar's match up with George is that George can guard him one on one. Enough to bother the jump shot, enough to stay in front of him to prevent the drive. If DeMar can't shoot, drive, or draw a double team, he's effectively useless.

For context on the 'other guys don't get shut down like this'.
Here's the list of guys, ever, in the playoffs who took 30+ shots, had 25%+ usage and had lower than 30% eFG.

That's right, no one. But DeMar does so far this year.twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle

Durant: 7-33
Westbrook: 8-22
Dirk: 7-19
Harden: 7-19
K. Thompson: 8-20
D. Green: 4-12
It's almost like scoring in the playoffs is hard or something. DD has an all-world defender on him and he's the focus of the Pacers' defence. He has been good to very good to excellent all season for Toronto and he will bounce back.

There are a lot of aspects of the game not captured in box scores (like my favourite not-really-a-stat-I-think the hockey assist). Demar's problem is he's not providing anything right now.
We don't need him to shoot well (although it would definitely help a lot); we need him to play well."My biggest concern as a coach is to not confuse winning with progress." - Steve Kerr

It's a good thing he knows how you feel about him.
