More like Lowry to me. If siakam was pulling a derozan he would lie on his back under the basket while his team try’s to defend 4 on 5.Quote:

Very possibly. The players and coaches on this team won’t stop trying to win. It isn’t in their DNA. I doubt the front office will force their hand. The team is better than their record today. I had them 5th to 7th n the East to start the year. Probably closer to 7th to 10th. I would expect they will fall their. But this run has been crazy up and down for this team this season...Quote:

I’ve always loved Derozan. I never thought of him as a franchise player though. I think he has def improved under pops.. A lot of people still seem to think he’s the same player.Quote:

I think its almost a sure thing he will return.Quote:

He is a RFA. If he didn't want to stay, it probably won't matter as he is bound to sign a 3-4 year deal. 22 year old players don't give away their financial security for shorter term opportunities. Can't remember the last one that did.Quote:

Yeah I think it’s one of the reasons he works well with their young core. He’s like their floor generalQuote:

I think we are closer to a .500 team than a .400 team. I'd like to see them finish where they are or lower, but I'm expecting .500 basketball rest of the way. 31-41 record at season's end is my prediction.Quote:

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.
Love OG but idk it seemed like Dennis was just holding him so he didnt fall.Quote:

I really think it was just a miss understanding and neither guy was trying to hurt eachother. It looked worse than it was. But the memes that came out of it are so epic lolQuote:

The WWE memes are the best, showing OG doing a sidewalk slam on Schroeder. If you’re a wrestling fan it’s pretty hilariousQuote:

lol you're exaggerating a lot. All Pop did was cut out his 3s. His efficiency is marginally better. His last 3 seasons with SAS his TS% is 57.5%. His last 3 seasons with the Raptors it was 55.2%. That's nothing.Quote:

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.Quote:
