And 11 assist (could've easily had more too if shooters weren't struggling so much early on)
seriously? 18 points? 8/18? Did we trade Kawhi for the black Joe Ingles? What happened to the MVP caliber player that was in Toronto? He leave his favorite kicks at Drake's house?
And 11 assist (could've easily had more too if shooters weren't struggling so much early on)
Dude has like 11 assists and defense is improving. We could have done much worse.
CIA Pop saving him for the playoffs![]()
LMA had the hot hand tonight. 66 points from your top two players is perfectly okay.
I wished we had the real version Joe Ingles instead of DeRozan, tbh.
Good 3pt shooter, good defender, and wouldn't try to hero ball.
The man has struggled plenty, but this was a weird time to start a thread about it. Since when is 18 points on 18 shots a catastrophe?
He wasn't a problem tonight tbh. We already know about and discuss his issues in crunch time ad nauseum.
Strange timing on a DeRozan criticism... He deferred to Aldridge, who was hot (and I imagine following Pop's orders to attack a Horford-less Celtic team), and had 11 assists. Hard to see a negative here.
You might not realize this but DeRozan is actually more efficient if he shoots less than 20 shots per game and distributes the ball. 16 and 11 assists on 18 shots is fine
There was no crunch time tonight so naturally he was not a problem.
This. Not the night to criticize Demar. One more shot hit and he’s at 50%, so sample size. And his passing was great. Lots of missed open looks. His defense is improving.
It was either DDR or no Kawhi and no nothing. Keep ing.
I am probably the one who criticizes the most DDR (I really, really don't like him): tonight he played OK, actually well, went against his instincts of playing for stats and be "the man". I wish he played like this the whole season, we would have at least 4 more wins.
But halas, there's always next game and a new crunch time to up....So we'll see.
