Raptors had no business winning that game yesterday. Unnecessary win last night. Today is more like it. Pile on the losses.

I can't believe they tossed OG for the dumping Shroder when he wouldn't let go of OG after hammering him. OG must be some strong because it looked like he Shroder was a piece of paper he was picking up. Then the little punk gets up like OG wants to fight him. ..lmao What a little b*!@#...lol Lately the team chemistry just seems gone since they traded Powell. It was nice to see that GTJ was the first guy in there to protect OG. These guys need to build a little comradery.
The only good thing with Fred and Kyle both being out are the minutes Flynn is going to get now with some of the other starters. It's been a weird/rough rookie campaign for him and he deserves some PT.
Pop gets credit for helping derozan learn how to find his offence within the flow of the game. The bump in derozans field goal percentage came after an offseason with pop. His ppg took a big hit, but his efficiency got to a level none of us thought was possible.
Maybe that happens in Toronto, or maybe he needed a fresh voice that everyone respects.
I remember the last season we had Demar in the playoffs he started playing a lot of point and initiating the offense. Since then though he has improved further. It could be the natural progression of his game, or it could be the guidance and leadership of Pops. I actually think it’s a combination of both.
Interested to know if he’s improved at all defensively
From the eye test he seems like the same guy defensively. I noticed he has a few more defensive tricks up his sleeve now though. Like when Ibaka would back him down and he would just step out of the way and swipe at the ball while Ibaka fell backwards.
If he plays full time PG somewhere next season then he will have a height advantage that can hopefully help.
