How far would we have gone with Demar on last year's team?

[SpurPadre]

Place DD on last year's team and we're 3rd seed easy...and I dare say we would've made things more interesting against the Dubs without Curry tbh. I'm sure DD and Manu would've had some great chemistry too. Thoughts?

LMA single handedly carried that team to 47 wins. Was truly remarkable how much of a burden he shouldered last year. I mean there were games where I wondered how we made it out of the 80s.

Thus, if we had had a 28 pt scorer to spell LMA, we absolutely could have won 57+ games.

He would have been held scoreless by Jrue Holiday & at best gotten swept by the 6th seed Pelicans.

he’s the number 1 porker fan here and he hates manu..:lol

[Chinook]

Wins in the low-50s. Third-seed going away. Beat Utah in the first round. Lose to GS in the second round. ST still in full suicide mode.

[skin27]

53 wins,3rd seed and 2nd round exit..tbh

Nah, he's just a Manu hater for no good reason and he's just trolling his fans tbh.

Sounds about right.

We'd still have the 50 win streak going if DDR had been here.

By the time the Spurs would have played the Warriors, they would have had Curry back. That Warriors series is probably a sweep with Curry active.

It’s early and Demar will only start gelling more at the defensive end. Wildcard this year is if the Spurs get anything out of White / Walker / Metu (probably only on White) to help the porous defense

How can one dislike Manu? Hmm..

Not so sure we would have beaten last year's Jazz playoffs run, tbh.

If Derozan played for Spurs last year, Pop would of had Pelicans covered, as Pelicans were not a problem to Raps (if I remember correctly). Derozan and Lowry owned the East last year - just needed 2 Danny Greens to help them reach the Finals.

You have one of the hardest grinders in the 4th Qtr in Demar. US analysts are surprised by his production on Spurs under Pops.

I knew Derozan had a passing game, but him and Lowry could only do so much, imo, w/o solid 2 way role players to contribute when teams double team DD. Nice win. The B-ball God knew Spurs and DD needed that W :) --- Guy deserves everything good that he gets so I'm rooting for (our guy:) lol. Go SPURS!

[ItsARap]

Best shooting guard in franchise history and it honestly isn't even close, tbh...

Finally getting the recognition he deserved by US Analyst. I knew Pops would highlight his great skills and work on his weaknesses. Go Derozan - Rap fans are loving it. Get yours!

[ItsARap]

We'd still have the 50 win streak going if DDR had been here.

Derozan would of helped Spurs, as Pops would of drawn up play to his strengths and had him passing (like this season) as the ddl team in the playoffs come to him, but Raps had no Danny Greens to help him.

Derozan will grind the 4th Qtr for fans to get the W. I hope Pops takes him to higher levels.
If fans appreciate him (which I can see they do in SA) he will ALWAYS play his Ass off and get to the line on the 4th to try to grind out the W. Go Derozan! Get what you deserve!

[ItsARap]

Careful, you can't beat out a Raptors fan for Demar :)

Porker never averaged 8 assists per game like Demar :wow:wow

Demar Best PG and second best SG in Spurs history and it isn't even close..

[ItsARap]

Bah Humbug!

2nd that Bah Humbug.! Pops would of drawn up plays just for DD. He's the wickedest mid range (pure scorer) and again, Pops would of elevated him. He mashed up teams in regular season - just needed role players to step up and we didn't have 2 way players to HELP dude and Kyle Lowry. Derozan deserves his hype. Go Demar - take Spurs Fans to the playoffs.

Spurs Fans need to support him as he's the best chance - to make playoffs. That's an accomplishment for the season until Spurs can add a couple pieces.

So which one are you on REALGM?

Pelicans didn't start rolling until they replaced DeMarcus Cancers with Mirotic & their defense (trapping scheme) picked up when Davis was playing center full-time.:sleep

We're talking about a guy who got outplayed by JR Smith, who not only locked him up but also lit him up on the other end: https://www.basketball-reference.com/playoffs/2018-nba-eastern-conference-semifinals-cavaliers-vs-raptors.html Compare that to what big ball Tatum fared against the Cavs as a 19 yr old rookie.:lol
