demar derozan = nba’s charlie brown

And yet I liked Charlie Brown.

[slick'81]

Of course pop runs and hides

[davidbowie]

WE STINK

[SpurPadre]

Casey. He benched DeRozan in the playoffs.

Playoffs are a different story and that team was getting butt- ed by LeBron with or without him, tbh.

[MoSpur02]

Somehow we look worse than them though

Sad but TRUE

[timtonymanu]

It’s only basketball. You guys need better things to do with your life if you’re worried about the results of a game.

[tholdren]

But that's not where Dumbmar was having success.

I agree. The coach should make it clear that the goal is to get to the paint. Unfortunately the low iq nba players and fans dont care what the shot is if it goes in.

The game fell apart when pop allowed the ball to be played through lma after ddr pullup in the paint.

But it was lost before the when he played murray and gay and LaMarcus. Those three need to go far away

[BillMc]

White seemed to be moving better, and he shot 7 for 9. But man, bright spots are hard to find.

Yeah. That was good to see.

[tholdren]

No coach would NOT play DeRozan with this roster. That's how bad this roster is. I blame Pop more for his roster construction than his in-game coaching.

Cant take ddr out. He's the only spur that gets to the rim in a half court offense.

[timtonymanu]

Don't worry, they will.

As long as the 7th and 8th seed are below .500, Pop will falsely believe his team can sneak in and do nothing to upgrade the roster. Crazy to think after losing 8 straight at one point, they’re still a only a couple games back out of the 8th seed in the West

You and I disagree about Dumbmar as a player, but if you are going to him to close, it has to be going to the hole. I agree when Pop decided he needed to get LMA his touches I started shaking my head. He backed down Love once and then started his SOS. The rest of your comment is all good.

How bad could it be if Pop did? The team might lose?

[SpurPadre]

I'm done with DeRozan. Those missed free throws were pathetic and forced shots when other players were open disgusted me. I really don't want him to remain on this team as a go-to player. He's a complimentary player that belongs on a team that has at least 1 go-to player along with consistent shooters that can also defend. Unfortunately, we don't have those luxuries so he's going to keep choking games until he goes somewhere he belongs or we miraculously acquire a real go-to player and dramatically reshape this roster.

[8sy21vd]

The only thing going for the franchise is it's younger talent which could energize the fan base this year if they let it develop and grow through the mistakes. At least it would be exciting to see potential. This is a loser team and the tone is set at the top which needs to be broken up. Move the vets closer to the trade deadline when teams are more desperate to make a move to position themselves for the playoff push.

[ZeusWillJudge]

So the only difference is that this is December.

[slick'81]

As long as derozan is here and mills is still playing with under 3min to go,this is what the spurs are

[NASpurs]

8 games to finish off the year and the only seemingly "gimmie" is that game against the Ws on the 31st.

1-7

[SpurPadre]

Yeah, with 58 games to go, not 4 games from fishing.

[timtonymanu]

8 games to finish off the year and the only seemingly "gimmie" is that game against the Ws on the 31st.

1-7

I hope they lose all 8, tbh

Now that you're done with DeRozan, what happens?


For me?

[slick'81]

I dont understand, the borderline all star derozan makes these shots in 2k!?

[SpurPadre]

Now that you're done with DeRozan, what happens?


For me?

I just hope PATFO finally come to terms that DeRozan belongs on a team that utilizes him as a complimentary player and wins consistently as a result of having a roster that can accommodate that reality.

[slick'81]

Theres a reason tor won a le as soon as cancer derozan left,tbh

[BillMc]

I just hope PATFO finally come to terms that DeRozan belongs on a team that utilizes him as a complimentary player and wins consistently as a result of having a roster that can accommodate that reality.

I just hope we don't extend him.

[TimDunkem]

I just hope we don't extend him.

We are. Also, Forbes is getting that contract, LMA will play out his, Gay will get another loyalty deal, and Milli Belinelli will retire as Spurs.
