Not sure it's so ominous (tho it may be). He has taken time off before when he could and now that they have this long stretch, it makes sense to let him go. That said, he has not missed a practice, so this is newTRex wrote: View PostComment

Regardless of whether things get worse, DeMar's dealing with a lot right now. Mom has lupus, Dad has kidney problems, he split with his long-term partner, and he's grappling with depression.KeonClark wrote:
There's really no quick fix for any of that. We can hope that he can block it all out and focus on the game when the playoffs come, but he's human. If he struggles I won't blame him. It would suck, but that's life.
But if he can overcome it, it would certainly be an indicator that he's reached that elite superstar level that is reserved for truly special players.Comment

Since the new year, I think that's like the 3rd or 4th time he went back, I really hope his parents, as well as his aunt, are okay.
I think this kinda explains the slight dropoff he had, at one point he was averaging like 24/5/4/1.5/0.3 on 47% and 39 form deepAbbas wrote:Comment

I think it says a lot about Demar that he's going through all of these personal challenges and hasn't missed a game (other than the rest game) and apparently very few practices. It's very unfortunate that this all came about when he might have his best chance ever to make an NBA final. He is certainly a professional and will try to play through it but there is no doubt that it has an impact. Some of his sloppy turnovers of late and poor defence (well that's kind of a chronic issue) seem to fit for a guy who is preoccupied with other things. Hopefully the intensity of the playoffs will bring his full attention and we'll see the player again we had earlier in the season. I do know of what I speak because when I'm not wasting time writing in this forum I am a psychiatrist. I've worked with some elite athletes and their performance absolutely was affected by depression or anxiety.Comment

Not good. I hope any off court situations sort out (don't want to be insensitive at all) because we need his head entirely in the game.rocwell wrote: View PostComment

Shit I hope his fam will be okay. This definitely makes sense with the way he's been playing but its whatever, fam always comes first. Hopefully things get better for him and his family #wegotyouComment

GSW beat down by the Bucks....
Golden State got Green and Durant back from missing 6 games with a cracked rib and he was ejected in the first half. Curryy (ankle sprain) and Klay Thompson still out with a broken thumb.
NBA finals could be touch more wide open now....Comment
