So how do we get rid of derozan again?
Disappointing loss against the Rockets after having a 25-point lead. Not really surprising though since the Spurs lost all momentum late in the second quarter and never got it back.
Few interesting subplots:
1) The duo of Derrick White and Dejounte Murray looked really good. Defensively, it was all we could have imagined. The Rockets tried setting screens with their guards to free up Harden and that duo just ate it up. Houston had to start running different plays. Offensively, it looked fine. Improved passing and pace in the small sample size; White-Murray played the final 4:46 of the game. Pop has to play this duo more often.
2) With White and Murray on the court, DeRozan was off of it. Was it because he wasn't playing well or Pop is so paranoid about spacing that he doesn't dare play a lineup that features White, Murray and DeRozan? If it was the former, that's understandable as DeRozan was just being a sourpuss out there all game long anyways. If it's the latter, I don't agree with that decision. Houston's defense isn't sophisticated enough to take advantage of the lack of spacing.
3) DeRozan's moping is getting out of hand. Tonight, he was moping all throughout the game and then when he was on the bench for the final 4:46, he was barely watching the game. He was sitting on the end of the bench showing no emotion and not even attempting to watch when his teammates were standing up in front of him. I'm officially on the don't-extend-DeRozan-at-any-price bandwagon.
So how do we get rid of derozan again?
Send him to Detroit to re-unite with Dwayne Casey
The two "stars" on this team are such sourpuss gots. LMA checks out if he doesn't get touches and now Derozan is moping cause he was playing like all game. Meanwhile, Lonnie gets benched for breathing wrong and doesn't complain. Really can't stand these en led gots leading the Spurs. Derozan just needs to go. Period. Can't believe people were actually entertaining extending him because they bought into that "second year in the system" philosophy like he was suddenly gonna play better, but he's been a career loser his entire time in the NBA.
1. It took the idiotic coach 26 games to realize that they can lock up any guard pairing in the league, when everybody knew it before the season even started
2. Forbes had to be out there in crunch time, he's his favorite pet
3. DeRozan shouldn't be out there in the last 5 minutes cause he's a bonified loser
DeRozan doesn't deserve to wear the same jersey as Tim, Tony, or Manu tbh.
Problem with DeRozan is you ain’t getting much value back. He has pretty much zero trade value at the moment. Nobody wants a player stuck in the 90s in today’s NBA. Forbes and Bertans probably have more trade value than DeRozan.
No offense timvp but we all know what derozan was/is and how spurs were duped into this malcontent loser is beyond me
The momentum changed against the spurs when Demar started isolation ball in the last 5mins of the first half.
Pop played Demar almost all of the second half but closing. Says to me they on to it about his choking ability.
Doesn’t deserve to be wearing Keith Bogan’s and Speedy Claxton’s number at this point tbh
Deprozac is a cancer and his play is cancerousobjective spurs fans like myself and not the dumb seal clapping spur fan have been saying this since he was traded here.
#1: To be fair to Pop, I heard an interview after the first game where he said he'd like to play those two together but couldn't due to the minutes restrictions on Murray. Not sure I exactly understood that logic but he did say it.
FYI, you are a human. Congratulations!
It's Game 26. The Spurs are several games below .500. Both guys have played most of the season.
And you're still begging Pop to just even try that lineup. Where is your god now?
I know you're a got sniffer so your opinion doesn't mean much FYI
lol no one asked you. He one of the legends here. An OG.
Randomly tuned in for the final 30s and def noticed DeRozan moping on the bench lol
DeRozan is just not Spurs material and his lack of effort on defense is inexcusable. Also, I want to see the Murray, White & Walker trio. That would be a force defensively.
Also, what? You weren't on the don't extend Derozan no matter what bandwagon before?
WTF?
White and Murray not even playing a quarter's worth of time together 26 games into the season is one of the most baffling coaching decisions of my lifetime, to be completely honest.It's Game 26. The Spurs are several games below .500. Both guys have played most of the season.
And you're still begging Pop to just even try that lineup. Where is your god now?
I can't even pretend to defend it.
Benching Demar, and playing The Backcourt of the Future, is consolation for this loss. Hopefully this accelerates the FO decision making.
I went from the don't-extend-DeRozan-unless-it's-a-huge-bargain bandwagon to the -no-I-don't-care-about-the-price-tag-don't-extend-DeRozan bandwagon, FWIW.Also, what? You weren't on the don't extend Derozan no matter what bandwagon before?
WTF?
He’s probably one of those gots that would keep Derozan over taking nephew back
