DDR continues to disappoint
27 million a year
My god!
Looks like a he had a good game
As long as DeFrozen is happy, Pop is willing to keep losing.
I hope there’s some dumb GM out there who’ll take this guy off RC’s hands this offseason.
This is like the Richard Jefferson years. Only RJ was like 4th fiddle not the top dog.
Man I love Demar but these nicknames are hilarious.
DePression made me lol
His FTA have been trending down. For the season he's attempting his fewest FTs since 2013, before he was an all-star.
Send him to Austin, he is just a detriment to the team. Right now we can't win with DDR on the floor.
I blame Pop for keeping him in and giving him the last possession, he bloody walked to the basket to get the easieast block ever. I don't know if the decision to have him shoot, or the execution was more pathetic, certainly both are not NBA level.
Did u watch the OKC series?? Rebounding was the problem... Our bigs were the problem... LMA choked his ass off and none of our bigs could rebound... Kawhi wasn't a superstar until 2017... LMA had games that series where he shot less than 30%
So we are gonna keep them while LMA gets older and worse? And Until DDR leaves for nothing... If we CAN'T WIN with them why keep them?? Role players contribute to championship teams... I shouldn't have to break this down to you... You think any of our teams win a ring without great roleplayers? No team ever has... You have to start making moves NOW to get the deadweight off the team and start building a team with guys who have a winning mentality and are more tailored for this era
Look what golden state did... No one expected them to be a dynasty... They were a joke... Then they stockpiled players that fit this new era and how they wanted to play so when a window was open, BOOM... if golden state was to break up, we STILL wouldn't be CLOSE to winning with LMA and DDR.. The guy couldn't even beat lebron with a better team in the freaking east... Why keep something that we KNOW won't work??
Golden state wasn't winning for a lot of years, then suddenly they became a dynasty... U have to have the right players... Look at the clippers..YEARS of playoff failures taught them nothing other than they suck... Because they didn't have the right players
Agreed about DDR
There’s an eternal asterisk in golden state.
If the players union wasn’t greedy there wouldn’t have been that huge cap jump in 2016. Meaning Durant doesn’t sign there because they couldn’t afford him.
Absolute dumb luck getting a top 3 player to join Curry and Thompson.
DeRozan played OK in Phila. He missed three important shots because at least he took them. He has scored those already wearing a Spurs uniform. Currently not in his best moment but still taking responsibility. Aldridge refused to play 1on1 in vs Embiid from FT line, Marco/Gay lost a ball, Pop didn't put him in the floor for the final shot. And nothing of that was the key for the game.
Spurs received 5 consecutive points for not running back in transition D, allowing Simmons to attack the rim and finish first and assist for an open 3 later. On his next defensive possession, Spurs sprinted back but Gay fouled Red (3+1) just after a simple and predictable P&Pop with Simmons. 9 points in 3 consecutive possessions.
Spurs went from up 8 to down 1 in a minute and a half. The team lost the game in defense. That should be the point of emphasis for them to improve.
I disagree. The game is called basketball. If you don't score during the last 2.5 minutes -after scoring 120 points in 45 minutes- you have no excuses. DDR missed everything possible during last stretch, not only shots, but floor positions too. And last shot? absurd slow dribble (didn't want to risk not having the ball back) and slow walk towards the basket, for a shot that everybody in the arena would have blocked. DDR played horrible, the problem is not the defense.
Well, we agree to disagree.
So players are greedy, but if the money doesn't go to them it goes to the owners... Ur way of seeing things is warped... The owners are the greedy ones
This guy couldn't win in the East. The garbage and historically bad East. We really expect him to make noise in the West? Come on now.
This is the first year that DeRozan has played with the Spurs.
He'll get better as a facilitator as the season progresses.
Next year with most of the players coming back, with rookies going into the rotation and two first round picks and lots of cap room. That's when we can increase our expectation.
Besides GSW with Boogie is not something any other team can beat.
Bradley Beal>>DDR.
Greedy as in wanting the cap increase over one summer instead of staggered over two or more.
That point is not mine, it can be found on an internet search by many basketball columnists.
Greedy, short-sighted, whatever you want to call it - it's fair to say Durant doesn't sign with GS if the cap doesn't skyrocket like it did.
Ironically enough that summer both DeRozan and Gasol signed their bloated contracts which them Spurs are gladly on the hook for for another year or two.
could we trade him to TOR for siakam?
Almost 50% of the team is new, our roster was not made to fit DeRozan, our most promising rookie and most important defensive player is lost for the season. Some of our rotation players couldn't play many games because of injuries.
The team is still adapting to a situation that was forced onto them (nephew), still we are in the playoff picture and have seen what this team can do when it peaks.
We are on the right way and DeRozan is buying in, that's all we need as of now.
In 2012, with 3 Hall off famers, and a stablished team with nephew as a recent addition the team got to the WCF, if somehow we manage to get to the WSF with a completely new team that's a good start.
