I guess it's easier said than done. It makes sense what you're saying, I wonder if it's that simple to actually do.
When you back off of him and try to make him a jumpshooter, he still charges straight at you with a full head of steam yet doesn't get called for offensive fouls (which is infuriating bulls***). A team has to rotate soooooo perfectly to combat this, which it seems GSW and SA are the only teams capable of doing.
C Bags win game 3 behind Isaiah Thomas' 42 points. Thanks for not settling for his mediocrity, Mitch.
Wonder if he's gonna get suspended a game for slapping Schroder in the head towards the end of the game though
Man Derozan is playing some terrible ball. I haven't seen him play like at all and decided to watch some Toronto games since he seems to be one of our main targets. So far he's been a HUGE disappointment. I hope he can pick it up... The Raptors are getting destroyed so far
I used to live in Toronto (in the VC days) and i talk with my "old" friends from time to time. They ALL want Derozan gone...
Toronto, the second best team in the East, looks so bad these playoffs so far. Lebron get's another easy road unless Miami can make some noise.
The Heat are the only team that can give Cle any trouble. The East is still straight garbage. Tor is a joke bunch of chokers.
I live in Toronto and this is the reason I never watch Raptors games lol. Derozan sucks, and even if the team is doing well in the reg season, I know that doesn't mean s*** because they choke in the playoffs like always From a Raptors forum: These were all from one page, there's tons more like this
East is pathetic, as I have been saying all season. I laughed at anyone who said Toronto, or Atlanta, or Chicago (LOL) were threats to them. They will waltz into the Finals, and if they get there healthy, they have as good a chance to win as anyone. They gave GS a series last year with no Love or Irving. When it comes time to win, you need a star, and players that have been there before. The Cavs have LeBron, the Raptors, Hawks, C Bags, Pacers, have no real stars that have been there before, no one that will go out and win you a series. Miami has Wade, but he can't be relied on that heavily at his age, and they don't have Bosh. Hell, they scored 80 points in a loss today, I can't trust them either.
I was going to say today, tuned in to watch DD and wow, was he ever disappointing. He really can't shoot at all can he? Full on airballs from 3. I know beggars can't be choosers and we need talent, but I am on the fence now about him.
The additions of Irving and Love made them worse defensively ... You involve both of them in PNR and you get everything you want on O . Cavs have no shot at winning it all against healthy GS or SAS squads . PS : plus GS didn't play its best because of the pressure/1st experience in the Finals last season Warriors are even better this season whereas the Cavs aren't
As I said... DeRozan is a minor upgrade over JC, if at all. Certainly not if you take price tag into consideration.
I think this is seeming More and more true JC will be a top notch starter In this league before he is through What he needs is a coach That's worth a s*** Not one that only Preaches personal grit
What are the numbers for previous playoffs, I don't pay enough attention to Toronto basketball but he seems to disappear a lot in the post season.
