I agree with you. I feel like DeRozan and Gay have both played well. I think LMAs not-giving-a- ness is effecting the whole team.
Quit blaming DeMar!
I'm goin with the eye test.... LA has checked... out. Zero heart and he knows it. The guy still has game and everybody knows it. He "could" decide to go beastmode in the paint... which is a mindset 100%. The guy just checked out.
DeRozen is actually balling within his capabilities. Why do we blame the guy if he's playing like he has his entire career? I actually think the guy has played even better than in the past.

You are actually right. start carroll for defensive purpose with murray. let DDR or LA create and open spot up shooters and corner 3s for marco, bryn, patty or even rudy and carroll.
LA has successfully brought his loser culture from Portland to SA.
But “retire his jersey”
You know if you retire a guy's jersey it means he won't play any more.
Trade Demar so he can play for a team that isn’t fielding G-League players. Someone who’s compe ive like him deserves better.
I had the thought DDR would opt in next year because of the $, but I no longer think so.
Yep, DDR is doing what he can do and doing it pretty well, at least on one side of the court. LMA has looked house since his near 40 point outburst, and he wasn't doing much before that either.
Aldridge is 34 now. He can't go beast mode any time he wants only when he can. He can't be beats mode, best rim protector and dominate rebounder avgerging 32 minutes a game at 34 with no rest games.
No one is blaming DeMar. He's the only player who has a high value that can net you something good in return.
For me, the problem is Forbes. Pop is convinced he can turn him into Curry 2.0. He's best role will always be some offense from the bench.
Pop doesnt think that. He thinks he's the best 3pt shooter on the team and he is correct
Some of us didn’t want him to begin with, and that’s one of the reasons. That was the beginning of the end. And Pop’s coaching plummeted after that, too.
Demar had energy tonight and played with better pace. Good for him. But typically his languorous approach to the game negatively affects the whole team.
Actually, Mills is a better 3pt shooter than Forbes, and even a better defender.
languorous
Excellent. I had to look that one up.
languorous describes it perfectly.
The biggest issue with Forbes is that he's the ONLY shooter in the SL now. His shot-selection has become because he seems to feel the need to shoot for everyone else. You need three if not four guys on the floor shooting threes at a decent clip nowadays, and Pop often fields at most two. I'll sound like a broken record if I repeat that Pop needs to make guys shoot them even if they aren't good at them. Right now, they're playing effectively four-in, and that just won't work. Put some more shooting on the floor, and you can curtail Bryn's bad shots, drive his efficiency back up and improve his metrics.
The biggest issue with Forbes is that he plays at all.
This, I have been advocating to trade him, and being attached on this forum because of it, since before nephew left.
Bryn isn’t really good enough to worry about tbh..I would not do anything in mind with helping him out. I would just yank him out of the rotation pretty much.
Plus his defense is so bad it tanks everyone around him.
That seems like a logical statement when watching the team play but how much can we complain about a team that is top five offensively?
Looking at things objectively, the Spurs offense is totally fine. It's the defense that needs work.
I'd give Forbes a chance to prove he's not the worst defender in the league when he's mostly defending bench players.
u guys are ing insane to want to keep demar based on a few games despite his decades worth of history...HE ING SUCKS...he is empty calories and he will ALWAYS let u down in the playoffs...they BOTH need to go
That’s fair. Out of the rotation was harsh..meant more out of the SL and used in an appropriate manner.
