[Johnson] DeMar DeRozan: “I can’t fake it. I’m beyond frustrated. Everybody in this locker room is frustrated.” (alien.top)

DeRozan took exception to Pascal Siakam attempting a 3-point shot with 3 seconds left and the Raptors leading by 12 points when Siakam could've dribbled out the clock. DeRozan angrily chastised the Raptors bench and coach Darko Rajakovic, who told coach Billy Donovan that Siakam attempted the shot because point differential matters for In-Season Tournament ramifications.

The Raptors actually had been eliminated from In-Season Tournament advancement before the game, but apparently, word didn't get to Rajakovic and Siakam.

"I don’t care about no In-Season Tournament points, none of that. Just respect for the game," DeRozan said. "If the roles was flip-flopped and I had the ball, hold it. It is what it is."

Between this statement and also talking about how he takes pride in not needing to take many threes DeMar seems like the ultimate oldhead in the NBA lol

I like how he said “I don’t need to shoot threes because muh personal achievements”. I’m sorry but Demar just seems like a super self-centered asshole sometimes.

This is an L take, Demar DeRozan is an exception to the threes over deep two rule. I think there was a thinking basketball video on how for some peculiar reason his efficiency drops significantly from deep two to three range. He’s consistently been one of the most efficient mid-range scorers for a decade.

Yes the three is usually a much better option than the deep two but it also depends on who’s taking it.

As for the self-cantered, he’s literally been loved by every fan base he’s been to so idk man.

Thinking Basketball is a channel for hacks. My man day Dangelo Russell was a mini Draymond Green on defense.

He post weekly surface level bs and guys like you eat it up.

Show me a channel that does a better job of explaining the game than thinking basketball. I'd be happy to be shown the light.

That video wasn’t trying to paint him as an actual Draymond level, just showing that his role on that teams defense was similar to Draymonds. Which it was.

Just fyi, that last line you said is exactly how I feel about Jimmyhighroller.
