Everything Derozan

[ball4life]

Demar was so shit in the first round, he's gonna get MVP chants from the district when he finally goes 8 for 21 against Winslow. SMH y'all too much.

[ogi]

Derozan was obviously very bad against Indiana. There really is no argument here. I don't get how this is still even a topic.

[special1]

It is so good to think that you're the one that gets it. Stop acting like you know basketball better than somebody else. You don't. And stop pretending like having an opinion about basketball - a primitive sport - is an intellectual thing. Thanks for your great insight, but no, I think I do have a clue.

Haha

Good one there mr primitive.

Still didn't address the point.

Demar had Paul George guarding him the WHOLE time and the Pacer's defence keyed in him on. This benefitted his teammates who didn't get nearly the same amount of attention.

Do you understand now? It's a primitive sport like you say. Shouldn't be so hard.

What Chr1stian and Special1 seem to be either unwilling or incapable of understanding is that how many possessions it takes for you to score matters too.

Literally, by both ORtg and TS%, the only Raptors player less efficient than DeMar in that series was Scola.

Barolt.... What you seem to be missing or unwilling to admit is that Paul George would've shut down every other Raptor (easily).

Shitting on Demar when he at least came through with an inefficient 30 in game 7 is just dumb. Saying that he didn't help the team is even dumber.

30 is better than nothing. You can come up with all the scenarios you want.....but that doesn't mean shit. Basketball is about posting a higher score than your opponent at the end of the game.

Actually, if they didn't go in "run the clock down mode in the 4th Q"..... The margin of victory likely would've been much larger.

If it wasn't for our bigs doing an outstanding job with offensive boards that inefficiency could've easily lost us the game.

I am all for a back and forth debate on demar, and I usually take the side of anti demar, but some of you guys lose me when you start calling him pig and douchebag. It's actually pathetic.

That's really why I even replied. It's pathetic.

These guys treated Andrea Bargnani better....lol

So Demar basically averages the most minutes. Averages the most points. Is defended by their best player and defender. But has nothing to do with our wins.

Everybody understands that DeRozan had a tough assignment. His biggest critics don't even mind a low shooting %. The point is that given the circumstances, there's absolutely no reason he should have taken 32 shots in the deciding game of the series.

As to the underlined part, even the biggest DeRozan 'hater' would have embraced him (and his terrible shooting) had he better understood the situation he was in and played more of a facilitator role.

You're right that the defensive attention paid to DeRozan should have benefited his teammates, but it didn't, because DeRozan played right into the defense's hands by forcing his own selfish, inefficient hero-ball.

Had DeRozan played a more team-oriented game, which he's perfectly capable of doing, then the series against the Pacers wouldn't have even gone 7 games.

he just had an extremely replaceable contribution.

we can get at demar's overall contribution to winning for a lot less than a max contract next season.

Maybe so. But obviously we have good rebounders. So why be afraid to let it fly? Biz is an excellent offensive rebounder and so is JV.

I respect your opinion but you don't know how many games it would've went.

Maybe his teammates don't hit their shots.

Maybe his passing leads to more turnovers.

What we do know is that we won playing the way he normally plays.

Look - Had a very tough first round. Who on earth denies this??

But but.... You coming in here always telling us what you think he doesn't understand is no different than usual. We get it.... You think he's a dummy. It has nothing to do with how he's being guarded or the other team's schemes. It would be so easy for him to rack up assists..... Smh

Because a pass has a much higher percentage of reaching the intended player than a rebound off a crappy shot. You can't bank on the team grabbing an offensive board.

Smart guy. Let's fire Masai and hire his guy.

DIE 92TillInfinity DIE bahahahah

All kidding aside there is a reason why Bebe is used in limited minutes and therefore 36 per game stats are worthless.

Seriously where is this gif taken from? Like what thing is these kids getting shot from?

and yet he still had audacity to take 32 shots while missing 22. HOW SWAY?

Your boy Lowry told him to empty the clip.

JV and Biz said we'll clean up the shells.

We won. Simple.
