Demar DeRozan is trash and he will doom the Raptors, whether it is against a bad Pacers team or not.

He be aiight.

He needs to be less selfish and more open-minded.

It's clear he is the point of emphasis behind Indiana's defensive game plan.

What he needs to do is take what the defense gives him and make plays for his
Teammates. Right now it's more about him being a team player.

If he could help us win in other ways then the game will automatically open up for him. When you're setting up those who are open, then the point of emphasis on defense shifts from you to everyone else. Better chance he'll get more open looks. And lastly, he needs to relax a bit.

Less than this got Olynyk suspended last year. Only difference is Dwight didn't get hurt here.

Draymond with the takedown https://t.co/tBjXAa1FHi https://t.co/mocEJSf8Mz

And here's Draymond's takedown at the end of the game.

How could anyone hate the Warriors, though?

Their bench is so good kinda like the Royals bullpen. The defense oh my gosh, it's just flawless like the Royals.

Even the chants are similar. When you go to a Raptors game bro they chant "let's go Raptors" same style of chant like "let's go Royals."

The thing that's missing is there is no serving of Chili in a basketball. That would be cool eh if they did such a thingy? Much like the Royals games where they serve food out of a helmet. That's ****ing gangster yo.

I'll root for them to succeed so they feel no need to go after Andrew Wiggins in a few years

It's interesting to me when people say their favorite player is..and then name a player that everyone knows and says is a favorite and the guy went to multiple all star games or championships and is the primary focus of the team.
That's so boring and unoriginal.
When I picked a favorite player ,it's someone I kind of picked out of the crowd for amusing or self identifying reasons.
Now granted, I did pick popular guys or famous but not usually mentioned in tthe greatest this and that conversations.
I liked Kurt Rambis and Bobby Hurley, Don Ford and Mark Landsburger.
Yes, I liked Rollie Fingers and Fred Biletnikoff but seldom would people mention their names before talking about 15 other guys.

Eh I was trolling mostly. The other part was dispelling the myth that you can never write shit about people on the Internet if they don't read it. Saying terrible things about an mlb player on chiefsplanet.com isn't crossing a line of decency

Damn the NBA came down hard on the officials of the Rockets-Warriors game and said the Harden shot shouldn't have counted. That was a real duh moment it makes you wonder what the officials were looking at. Pathetic.

Yeah I shouldn't have said coming down hard. I can't remember though a league saying after a game the deciding play shouldn't have counted. They trashed the refs for missing 4 other calls including Green's push of Beasley at the end of the game. These guys shouldn't ref the rest of the playoffs IMO.
