i say that about most people on this site lol
Do you post anything positive? Jw

There's a select few that are especially bad lol
Parker is the best guard in franchise history and top 3 player
There you go
Will he foul out today?
I'm a bit worried about how he'll play when the bright lights of the playoffs go on. He hasn't played in anything at that high of a level, has he?
I hope he does well.
I know he's been absolutely horrendous these last few weeks, but I don't think he should start in a potential Houston series... Terrible matchup for him.
-12 today in 9 minutes and the only negative +/- in the starting lineup
Terrible ing player, tbh....
at least Errors never blocked his own teammate's shot
Benched for Joel Anthony
Sad!
Why has he sucked literally since the day Pop named him the official starter
Ah, memories are short. Scroll up on this thread, and see that just a week ago people were calling the second coming. Dude just had two bad two games.
Averaging 6.6ppg, 8.3reb, 0.9blk as a starter
Second coming of Errors?
He's been the 2nd best rim protector in the NBA, this seasonhe has been the best face-up defensive big in the NBA, this season, too, statistically..
It's crazy how many posters on this forum don't understand that role players have stretches where they struggle in an 82-game season, tbh..
Especially on offense when you know they are offensively limited. Given the slow starts have been on both ends (offense sucking plays a role in the defense struggling though).
Not that anyone should expect any big let alone Dedmon to stop Russ but good chance you see the real value of Dedmon tonight with his ability to help out defending guards either on the perimeter or when they get to the rim
Koufos's tbh
Funny how posters, who don't watch the games, haven't noticed that every Spurs run over the last few games happen when he's on the bench with a towel on his head.. Even Pop has grown tired of him by looking at his dwindling minutes lmfao
Nobody denied that he's been struggling lately..as I said, some of you guys expect too much consistency from role players and overreact on a game-by-game basis![]()
I wasn't initially on board, but I like him. And I like the versatility he provides in the big rotation that we can go from him to Gasol if the situation demands it. I do fear his lack of experience will rear its head in the playoffs. But we have plenty of bigs to cover for him.
You chose the wrong time to hop on board
This is sinking harder than the anic
lol. I was very happy with Dedmon, but not right now since he was made a starter. What a weird time to get on board.
I wanted him starting to set the tone on defense, but unfortunately, since he's been an officially starting, he hasn't played well at all.
I think the pairing of Dedmon and Lee was a win-win for both players. They complimented each other well, being basically opposites (except for rebounding). Lee is undersized, and struggles on defense but also is immensely skilled with an intuitive understanding of offense. Dedmon is 7,0, a defensive specialist (except for the fouls) who really isn't a natural at the game given he started too late in life.
If Dedmon continues to flounder Pop had a decision to make. The problem is Pop can't just put Gasol back in the starting position really for another trial run. I don't think Pau would appreciate being yanked this way and that and I'm sure Pop had to sell him on the bench roll. If Pau does get the starting gig back it's gonna have to be for the rest of the season. Either way the time for experimenting is over. Too few games and seeding is in play.
The 5 man unit of Dedmon, Lee, Simmons, Ginobili, Mills is universally better than Deadman in the starting lineup (Per 100 poss) tbh
The 2 man combination of Dedmon-Lee is also better than the Deadman-LA combo
It was a nice little experiment against cupcake teams, but it's time switch back tbh..
Dedmon is still good in the starting lineup.
