SMH….. Once you break up, you’re broke up.![]()
Yea DeMar likely wouldn’t be having the same type of season here, and Dejounte certainly wouldn’t be having the breakout season he is. It was time to move forward with the rebuild. Wish DeMar all the best. He’s a good dude and a good player, and I appreciate his at ude during his time here in SA. But it’s time to move on. Onward and upward.

Agreed. Some Spur fans are salty that he is playing better with the Bulls than he did with the Spurs but that's not Derozan's fault. The bulls built a team around him like you said that maximizes his game while the Spurs never did that and expected him to carry a crappy roster, they built like he was prime Lebron or Duncan. If Spur fans want to be upset then they should be upset at Pop, RC. Wright for not making trades and moves to improve the roster while Derozan was here.
neither of us really knows for sure whether we'd be a playoff team or not. if derozan had stayed, the makeup of this team would be completely different as the off-season moves (perhaps even drafting primo) would not have been the same. so arguing that we would or wouldn't have made the playoffs is liking saying "if we hadn't committed that technical in the 3rd quarter, we would have won the game"'; there's no way to know how the absence of one event would have altered the events that took place afterwards. but to make amends, i'll restate my original position as "if we had kept demar we may or may have been a playoff team for the next few seasons..."
Derozan getting some national love on undisputed.
They was saying Gregg held him down from these gawdy numbers in San Antonio.
How can you watch that ? Might as well shoot yourself in the head.
It was more like the opposite. Opponents keyed on Demar here in San Antonio because he was lacking any help and was being asked to account for too much of the offense. Our young guys are stepping up now, but our 4-13 start was largely due to no one other than Demar knowing what to do with the ball.
This x1000. We don't have the personnel around Demar to maximize his skillset. Chicago has a ton more talent than we do in their SL. Lavine and Vuc can stretch the floor and open up the lane for Demar. Lonzo can shoot, pass, and defend. Our roster construction around Demar was extremely flawed, and DJ would never have blossomed like he has this year alongside Demar.
Demar falls victim to being a really good player, but not good enough to be in the elite stratosphere. Tier 2/3 star. No hard feelings. The guy didn't want to be in SA long term, but at least he never quit on the team and was reliable. I root for the guy
DDR did his job with the Spurs. He cranked out 20+ point games almost like clockwork. His defense could be criticized, but he never claimed to be any great defender. He never misrepresented himself.
But those Spurs teams - starting Bryn Forbes?? Starting Trey Lyles?? It was absurd.
lol hawks
Dang. Demar is becoming new NBA darling. He could very well be the MVP this year
With Dante Cunningham and Quincy Poindexter coming off the bench...lol ing gross.
DDR is unconscious right now. He's shooting out of his mind.
Reminds me of the run Dirk had between 06-08 where every ridiculous fadeaway he threw up went in.
Ridiculous FG% during this run.

Waiting for the inevitable playoff meltdown tbh
Did he steal your boyfriend or something? I don’t understand the hate on Demar. He came to SA, not on his own accord but was traded by the only NBA team he knew, was a soldier, never complained and just did what he was asked and helped our young guys. Idk the specifics, but he got us picks back getting traded instead of just walking. I mean I don’t understand how people wish him bad wanting him to fail
Agreed. This is not a Kawhi situation where he screwed over the Spurs. I was rooting for Kawhi fail in Toronto after what he did with the Spurs because I felt he didn't deserve to win a le after sinking the Spurs. This situation is different since Demar gave it his all in SA until the end. If he wins a le in Chicago, I would be happy for him. If people are upset about him playing at a high level with the bulls vs the Spurs then they should go after Pop and RC for surrounding him with a garbage roster.
Who said I hate demar? Rofl. Are YOU his girlfriend?
I'm just not enamored with his RS performances. He's always been a great RS performer and a known playoff choker. Stating facts has nothing to do with being a hater. Lol getting offended for demar. Also lol at you insinuating demar is gay while getting butthurt for him![]()

dang man his diehard fans are getting a kick out of all of this. But seriously DeRozan is putting up monster stats. I'm too lazy and uninterested in the particulars of why. I would imagine have Vuceic, Lavine, Ball, and and Caruso as running mates takes off a lot of attention for him offensively. He needs to do this in May. Last time he had a deep playoff run Toronto benched him the entire 4th quarter of a decisive game.
IRregardless to all of that, we all should be rooting for his team unequivocally if he ends up playing LA in the finals.
Would average 50 ppg if he played in the 90s tbh….
Lol @ David's Stern "no one gets to double team Jordan" rules.
