The issue is his confidence isn't shot. He's settling.
Unless he's settling because he's lazy, but that seems to contradict his reputation as a hard worker.

18 missed shots wouldn't even be his playoff high, lol.
Also, I think people missed another gem from DD's post game interview yesterday.
He said and I quote "I'm not gonna shoot 4-17 again"
Bahahahaha .... "Bruh"

And that.
There's a reason the NBA loves certain body types and elite athleticism, even in raw guys and borderline headcases - you can't defend against that elite physical talent. DeRozan is very guardable."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

Keep in mind, there is ANOTHER cap boom next summer. There will be teams that strike out on free agents, and have max cap room, and maybe would rather trade picks/prospects for DeMar using their cap space to facilitate the deal rather than trying to match salaries and play over the cap.

He overdribbles, pulls the ball back out coming off a screen, and doesn't have the quickness to take a guy off the bounce. And before we hear the "he's facing good defenders" excuse, 34 year old Dwyane Wade is blowing by Demarre Carroll and whoever else the Raptors throw at him multiple times per game.

Carroll's D has definitely been inconsistent but Wade has been incredible, however old he is.Two beer away from being two beers away.

Let's take a closer look at the highlight of the night.
How clumsy do you have to be to dribble RIGHT, and bounce it off your LEFT foot? This is highly unique case. I'm not sure how DeRozan hasn't managed to hurt himself climbing stairs with those duck feet.
EDIT: He didn't even dribble it off his foot, as I first thought. He flat out ran into the ball, like he didn't know it was there, LMAO.Last edited by Nilanka; Tue May 10, 2016, 02:49 PM.

DeMar isn't Wade and the franchise needs to stop pretending he is.Last edited by S.R.; Tue May 10, 2016, 03:12 PM."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard
