he seems to be a regular season monster, but you could already witness playoff Derozan in the 4th quarter of the last game ... Manu did provide so much in the playoffs in all aspects of the game that I doubt Derozan is able to surpass that with the remaining years he has left
manu have high basketball IQ and a better defender though but derozan is a lot better on offense
Hilarious thread. That chokejob in the fourth and OT was no fluke. That's Derozan's entire playoff career in a nuts . What we saw tonight is just a preview of what to expect from Demar in the playoffs. It's no coincidence that Pop drew up that final play for a holdover player(Patty) from the 2014 championship Spurs in order to win the game tonight. Even Pop knew not to trust Defrozan or Softridge with the last shot.
Manu is a thousand times more clutch than Derozan will ever be.
How can you compare Manu to Defrozen you idiot. Also, Manu had 60 year old Duncan in 2014 and won, so shut the up
The worrying part was his decision making. When we were down 8 in OT, he started panicking like all those ty East teams do when they start going down big, with crowd against them. He literally asked for a pick and went with his head down into a crowd, pump faked and got blocked or a ty shot. Spurs biggest thing was maintaining composure when opponents start pulling away, in OKC etc, when they start pulling away thats when we passed it even more and found the open man, and this idiot was making us all Raptors-ish
Yup, we were just fortunate we were playing against a one man Laker team full of no name scrubs and washed up vets . Otherwise, this would have ended up like every other Derozan vs Lebron game. Demar actually had a decent first half but he reverted to Toronto Demar late in the game. You can't teach guys to be clutch. He just doesn't have it in him. He would be a very competent 2nd or 3rd banana on a contender. Unfortunately, neither him or Aldridge have that first option mentality or clutchness that Duncan or Manu had when they would take over games in the playoffs.
DeRozan is athletically superior than either Manu or Tony.
What DeRozan needs to develop is the clutch mentality and grit of Manu and Tony.
Lakers game as an example, he didn't have the gas in the end of the game to make good plays.
I would call Duncan clutch and Manu fearless. Manu would miss game winners all the time and clutch free throws.
this thread is re ed. Derozan is not even close to Parker and Ginobili when it comes to Playoff performance and closing games. Ginobili is one of the clutchest players ever. And I'm not even taking defense into consideration.

In today's NBA even Bryn Forbes averages 15PPG, so sure DeRozan will probably be statistically on a per game basis better but he'll have a long way to go to match Manu and Tony's championship contributions. Likely never given the state of the Spurs as a contender.
wow this is stupid
Dechoker still has to produce in the playoffs.
Premature ejac schoolkid thread tbqh
"stats wise"
do you want actual stats?
Manu was top 5 in RAPM during his entire prime (05-11). Per minute he was as good as anybody in the league.
Derozan never sniffed the top 40 in RPM in his life!
DeMar had great clutch performances in the past. But this game he was forcing things and asking the refs for calls that he should have gotten. Lakers got away with so many fouls and no calls. Great game overall, except he was forcing too much. He'll win y'all games in crunch time many times this year, you'll see.
I concur with the "stay wise" part.
He's better than Manu, that's for sure. Don't know about a top 5 PG of all time
The refs didn't have a bad game. Detrash was garbage the last 10 mins of the game.
Irrelevant - Spurs ain't sniffing a ring unless another Timmy falls from the sky.
i was actually thinking that derozan may be a better offensive player than leonard in that his all-around game (ball handling and passing) is more versatile.
In one of the most critical possessions, Kuzma clearly stepped out of bounds and that should have been a turnover, but instead it allowed the Lakers to make a quick run. There were other instances when DD got hit in the arm but didn't get the call. He averaged 8FT attempts last two seasons. One of the best in the business at drawing fouls. But I am not denying that he played bad in those critical moments. On to the next one!The refs didn't have a bad game. Detrash was garbage the last 10 mins of the game.
DeRozan isn't better than Manu at offense, tbh. He isn't a better finisher, he isn't a better shooter nor a better passer.
Put prime Manu on today's NBA and watch him become James Harden with defense and clutchness.
With that said, DeRozan is exceeding my expectations. He's a much, much better playmaker than I anticipated.
DeRozan isn't a rookie, he's been in the league for an eternity, we've already seen what he can do, it isn't a mystery
He has great RS numbers, but completely fails against playoff defenses that actually have time to game plan..also, the refs are stingier with the whistles..
