DeRozen hasn't reacted well to pressure/disappointment this time (i.e., the extension fiasco) or in the past.

That will be noted and make it even more difficult for him to get that extension.

It is amazing that Demar thinks he's worth 150 million. No rational person would ever give him that kind of money with all of his flaws.

[sasaint]

He had one solid preseason game but the rest was pretty much what we've seen today. Looked much better even in China with limited minutes. He's starting to worry me a bit, tbh.

Doesn’t look like the same player except from the neck up.

[Rocalcio]

Stop booing Morris, he’s raping us.

[Chomag]

So what does Pop see in number 41?

[FkLA]

yeah, there's something mental going on with him. for stretches late in the season last year he looked like one of the better players in the league tbh. he was playing at his own, smooth pace and just getting whatever he wanted. can't really explain what's happened to him. and for all his talk of becoming a better volume outside shooter, no signs in these early stages yet

Nevermind his three, even his midrange shot is gone right now. That was a big weapon for him last season. He was so in control and great at taking what the defense gave him. Not sure wtf happened.

[TheGreatYacht]

It’s so obvious the senile old man put his hands on this team at halftime. Aldridge postups and DeRozan ISOs.

[timvp]

DeMar is literally the best Knicks player so far.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Up by 8 at the half is a disaster. Just a way to end, and it gives the Knicks some life.

And this is what happens. You close the half that ty, and they start thinking they're in the game. me.

[Chomag]

Uhgg..

[timtonymanu]

I’d give Bryn the max before I even consider it for Depression right now

[ZeusWillJudge]

DeMar is literally the best Knicks player so far.

10 TO's between DDR, Aldridge, and Murray. There's some blame to go around.

[Play Boban]

Dallas is winning. The new best team in Texas tbh.

[poopbox]

here we go with the clogged toilet lamarcus offense

[RD2191]

Spurs are garbage.

Not enough athletes. Gimmick team.

With the Difference that Murray plays very good, his Turnovers are excuseable. LMA at least does something and well DDr is just a worse version of the bad version from last year.

[Kurgan]

It never worked hence why they gave the Spurs depression.

It worked in the regular season well enough. Derozan just choked over and over again in the postseason. We saw it last playoffs on the Spurs when he went 0-10 to start game 7.

[UZER]

Morris was smart not to join the Pops, I mean the Spurs.

He has so much freedom out there.

[Chomag]

Spurs do want to win this game right?

[sasaint]

Nevermind his three, even his midrange shot is gone right now. That was a big weapon for him last season. He was so in control and great at taking what the defense gave him. Not sure wtf happened.

Exactly. He was smart and smooth. I am so disappointed to see this new guy in his uniform.

TO's count different, depending on which player makes them?

[Mugen]

This has all the makings of Patty closing this game out as PG

[TheGreatYacht]

Uncle Dennis looks smarter and smarter as time passes tbh
