The DeMar DeRozan Thread
-
Thought I’d make a thread for the believers & nonbelievers, playing the best basketball of his career it’s DeMarvelous DeChozen. Also known as one of the most hated players by a few users here. Let’s see what he did yesterday:
34 points, 12-19 FG, 10-11 FT, 6 rebs, 3 asts
“Derozan & Lavine won’t work”
“The bulls are a play in team”
“TJ Warren = Demar”Now for the fun part let’s look at some of the doubters over the years:
& now for the biggest hater by FAR. The one & only
-
Demar sucks and I stand by it
-
-
If you’re from Toronto you definitely fw Demar
I know him personally and am glad to see him doing well -
-
The bulls are a PF away from being favorites lmao
Get them a 3 and D 4 and it’s wraps imagine PJ on that team
-
@ogxsuave I think a Jerami Grant would be perfect for them

Demar > Tatum right now
Talk to me when one of them is shooting 3s in the playoffs
-
I know Derozan is a good player but didn’t predict that he will be the Best Bulls Player this Season.
-
@luckykid yep. Nobody predicted Derozan to be averaging 26 ppg through his first 23 games.
-
@zackdesenfants Dudes been playing his best basketball since 2016. One of the season surprises so far.
-
@kmart holy shit the receipts go back to 2019 this is Arya Stark level
-
Lmfao JJ Redick does more for a team what a horrendous take

I expect us to chase a 4 at the deadline. AKME doesn't sit around and wait.

Lebron stans having revisionist history about how tough those Toronto teams were

PJ is such a baller sucks that he got caught up like that

@ogstank_ barbiturates and amphetamines?

For real. Those Toronto teams from 2015-2018 were probably about two levels below those Cavs teams.
-
I’ve said it many times that I think people underrate how good Demar Derozan was with Toronto. He led the Raptors to the best record in the East 2 years in a row. My problem with him is the playoffs. His last series against Lebron & JR. He averaged 16ppg on 43% shooting and got swept after averaging 24ppg in the regular season… It does not surprise me to see him playing well in the regular season. He’s a baller… now I did think that maybe age slowed him down, but clearly it was just Spur’s old school system keeping his numbers back. Also my only problem with the bulls signing him is the amount of money he’s getting paid. He’s on a 3 year 85 million dollar deal at 32 years old. With how he’s playing now that seems to be a steal, but coming in.. I thought that was a bad contract considering Zo gets paid a lot and Lavine and Vucevic need to get paid too
-
@hollygrovemikey spurs players usually aren’t putting up crazy numbers it’s really Pop’s focus on team ball which is a detriment when the team isn’t that good. You gotta go back to David Robinson & George Gervin for that..
That raptors team definitely went out sad but realistically it wasn’t there time. The 18-19 raptors not only got Kawhi for him but also the players just developed along with trades. Like you said it’s about the playoffs but I’m not too worried, the bulls are well constructed & everyone can shoot.
-
@zackdesenfants Kyle Lowry, Demar Derozan, Jonas Valencunias, serge Ibaka, Paskal Siakam, Norman Powel, CJ Miles, OG, and Fred Vanvleet we’re all on the 2018 Raptors team that loss to Lebron, JR, Love, Korver, Tristian, Jordan Clarkson, Jeff green. 2016-2017 Cavs had the better roster for sure, but Kyrie and Love both missed a lot of time with injuries. 2018 Raptors roster was probably better.
-
@hollygrovemikey Fred VanVleet, Pascal Siakam, Norman Powell, and OG Anunoby were all role players for that team.
Did all those players turn out pretty well? Yes they did,
But they were all role players for that team that did not even put up 10 ppg.
That Raptors team had a good roster on paper looking back at it, but was it really that good in 2018?
-
@kmart Only thing that worries me about the Bulls team is that neither Lonzo or Lavine have any playoff experience… Beating Bucks, Nets and 76ers won’t be easy.
-
@hollygrovemikey well the 76ers look completely lost rn, the nets are still great but vulnerable. Now the bucks scare me, terrible matchup for the bulls

Itll be a fight but I BELIEVE
-
@zackdesenfants Was that Cleveland team any better? 2018 team is the one that traded Kyrie. It was filled with role players just as the Raptors was. Mainly veteran role players. The main difference was Lebron. He averaged 34ppg for that series. Raptors should have never been swept.

yeah who is gonna guard giannis
-
Pls nets... beat bucks in first round and lose to the sixers
-
@sssnaps said in The DeMar DeRozan Thread:

I’m 100% sure no player in the NBA can guard Giannis. .. but an even bigger problem is the fact that Giannis is a Dpoy and Jrue is probably the best guard defender in the league. The defense is definitely going to affect them.
-
@sssnaps Derrick jones jr might sadly be the best option lol…

Yeah bucks are a fucking nightmare.
-
@hollygrovemikey yeah along with their role players just a well oiled machine. Jrue is crazy on defense for sure but I’ve also seen Demar cook him
-
@kmart 76ers once Ben Simmons comes back are going to be a problem. It’s just if and when he comes back.
-
@kmart said in The DeMar DeRozan Thread:

nope its
hes been guarding bigger players all season
-
@kmart I would think they would put Giannis on Demar and switch Jrue on to Lavine. Jrue guarded Devin Booker a lot in the finals and frustrated him. Middleton will probably guard Zo considering Zo isn’t looking to score… or you put Jrue on Zo and Lonzo gets taken completely out of the game.
-

I don’t think he is bro I would be beyond shocked
-
@sssnaps yeah caruso can guard a lot of taller players but Giannis would bulldoze him easily. Pat Williams sighhh
-
@kmart said in The DeMar DeRozan Thread:

Jrue is probably too short to guard Demar’s midrange fade away, but Giannis on the other hand… tough

RIP Paw he might be back before playoffs tho
-
@sssnaps And y’all just completely dismissed the Heat… Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry, Bam, Herro, PJ Tucker, oladipo.. The East is serious.

I mean having LeBron is a world's difference. Especially 2018 Bron, which I think is his best prime.
But that Raptors team was not built for the playoffs.
-
@hollygrovemikey they’re good for sure. I would say the heat are on the same tier as the bulls. Kyle Lowry & Duncan Robinson been rough to say the least.

Toronto was
-
@kmart we beat them twice without our second best player. Sixers are honestly better without Tobias though
-
@nd13 that’s valid but the 76ers vs bulls rn in a series we know who’s winning. 6ers been pretty injured, I like y’all team tho
-
“Does more for a team than Derozan” - @508

Lmao this dude goes from DeFrozen to everyone's favorite player. Keep the same energy when he's bricking 3s in the playoffs
