Man All Star players don't turn to out of nowhere. I think something is going on in DeRozan personal life that is causing this. Not excusing this play but I bet it's something mental than him just being a scrub.
He's like 2001-02 Steve Smith who started out red hot before becoming a washed up piece of once the games started mattering.How people were trying to suddenly spin DeRozan into a useful player before this season was hilarious. Most hated Raptor ever, now most hated Spur ever.
honestly, he needs to come off the bench next year
He needs to gtfo of the team, tbh.
Demar needs old school Pop not Grand Pierre Pop. They need to call him out. Missing huge shots night after night without passing it around. I still like Demar, but he is doing dumb stuff.
Homers gotta be delusional and find a silver lining in everything + being hurt from the Nephew betrayal + timvp doing his trade thoughts trying to spin the show. This trade was always trash from day 1.
There's clearly something going on with him, it's a valid concern for somebody with a history of mental illness..
I've been one of his biggest haters for the past decade, but he isn't THIS cancerous, especially during the Regular Season..
Hopefully he can win his fight against whatever is going on at the moment, as it's more important than meaningless basketball games, as Pop always says..
probably depressed about this piece of roster he got traded to
Oh, please. Canadians don't hate anyone.
Toronto kept its crackhead* mayor, even after the video came out. They would have re-elected him, too, if he hadn't gotten diagnosed with cancer and been forced to drop out of the race. But he went ahead and ran for city council and you guys elected him in a landslide.
Toronto loved DeRozan. If you hated him, you must have moved there from Buffalo or something.
*To be fair, Ford said he wasn't a crack addict. I love his public comment: "Sure I may have tried it...in one of my drunken stupors."
NO. He needs to be gone next year.
Welcome to spurstalk OP
Lets not forget this is the same spurstalk that ed about Tony Parker and idolized a cancer called Manure
Certainly. He needs to take time off and treat this as an injury. But if he plays, then he must play like a man making 26 mil a year. No excuse.
fair...forbes mills marco quincy dante and gasol, that's half a roster that has no business playing minutes in a compe ive team... or in some cases in the nba
sure, it was them that turned DDR into a pouting crybaby who can't even hit the rim from 6 feet, you got it right
what turned Demar into what he is today was playing in a more difficult conference, it's for a coach who really demands on both sides of the court, he's not (and never was) so good, most league players are not cut of this type of cloth (be a good 2-way player), the problem is that Pop really believed that he could turn it into this and make him replace on some level the #2.
add all this to the fact that he's one of the most emotional guys on the court I've ever seen, maybe from the Demarcus Cousins level, where a wrong call and he starts making mistakes in a row, in Toronto he had a super stacked roster (in relation to the compe ion), his mistakes were overshadowed, in San Antonio this will not happen.
your emotional problem is something no one here knows the real reason, but I saw a kind of logic in the previous poster, I always found the front office work around Kawhi Leonard very weak, but the worst roster that Kawhi had in the two years as a franchise player was at least 2x better than the current roster.
I can't stand him.
he is bad actually, he was awesome during the first tier of the season and one of the main reason why the spurs were not bad.
it still a lot of games, he needs to react ... we'll see in two months.
I guess he has a good chance with the long break. If he is back half-decent, then there is some hope. If not, then he will see a lot of bench, there wouldn't be any motivation for the staff to play him. He would be gone anyway summertime.
I like a mortal with a sense of humor. Do you ever do consulting? A lot of people here on ST could use a life coach. I can pay you with slaughtered bulls, or if you ever need some rain I can hook you up.
.DeRozan is in a role he's not suited for. Forbes and Mills are both midget 2 guards. Even last night DDR had 5 assists and Forbes/Mills together only had 6. I know the NBA is supposedly "positionless" now, but on this roster that means there is no PG position because there are no PG's.Remember the Turd Towers a few years ago? Everybody cried when Diaw and David West were on the floor at the same time. And nobody talked about why, other than "they both suck". They didn't both suck. When they were on the floor together, one of them had to be the C and defend big men. And neither of them were suited to be the C and defend big men.
A couple of days ago in another thread, Ace3G said that the Spurs "play the wrong king of positionless basketball, and he's exactly right. This is what happens when you have a poorly created roster that's in Cap Space Prison. You have no flexibility to go get the right pieces, so instead you put people into positions they aren't suited for. DeRozan is the best offensive 2 guard on the team, by a wide margin. But Pop knows that he's the closest thing on the whole damn team to a PG, and that's not very close. If DDR had wanted to play PG, he would have learned what all those little X's and O's mean.
that's why my complaints are about the front office and its "decisions" more than about a player who did not want to be here, and has to play in a different way with a worst support roster than in the previous situation
DePression is pathetic.
He probably reads these threads tbh, he seems the type.
He isn't the only problem to be fair.
There is a re ed child named Bryn Forbes also sharing the floor.
