[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."

Yeah idk why people try and force dumb narratives like that. One comment and all of a sudden dudes are calling him an asshole and a whiny bitch. Miserable people.

Thats the Reddit way.

People on r/nba will literally take any reason to start hating on someone. Just look at the Wemby and Pop threads recently, two people who have been glazed constantly. Fairweather ass haters tbh, if you actually hate someone do it for a good reason and say it with your chest even when the majority is against you, fucking fence sitting ass karma farming losers

The users on the sub are massive frontrunners and will glaze everyone who's currently winning and shit on everyone who's currently losing.

I think this sub just discourages discussion bc everyone just downvotes if you disagree.

So that’s why you see threads just leaning one way with some old jokes thrown in. Bc anyone who opposes or has a diff opinion just gets downvoted or called a nephew/casual.

So that’s why it may look like one minute everyone is on one side, then the next everyone on another. Just depends on the thread. I think they shouldn’t let you see up/downvotes in this sub. Think it would help a lot

Hold up here. There are plenty of reasons to dislike popovich. First of all he is not a good coach; he has never done anything with a team that didn’t have multiple hall of famers. This is particularly true with the horrible job he did with team USA, leading a team comprised entirely of NBA caliber players against teams with at most two NBA players, yet finishing 7th. Then we have his condescending holier than thou attitude. So yeah, plenty to dislike.

French kid made a dry joke and people are calling him an ungrateful asshole. Have you ever met a French person before? Dry humor is as French as Canadians saying sorry.

[–] samurairocketshark@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Huge nothingburger of a controversy where people willfully took what he said and made it worst case scenario. And some people even had the gall to say "What did you expect he's French?" Fucking disgusting man

Oh jeez dude just wait until you hear about Josh giddey being a pedophile

Hope you’re sitting down

[–] Woolmarket213@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I’ve been hating Wemby and Pop since day 1

[–] Denim_Chikken@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Just like I’ve hated Delly because he’s the worst nba player I’ve ever seen and he pulls bush league shit like not cutting his fucking fingernails. This sub loves him and I’ll continue taking downvotes for saying he never belonged in the nba.

[–] Canadian_Pacer@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I honestly just believe that the NBA seems to have more "divas" like Harden and Irving so the fans are a bit fed up and ready to turn on anybody.

[–] afterworld2772@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The Giannis ladder incident is the one that I always think of when it comes to this flip flopping.

[–] MoMac77@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

one comment? he has literally fought on the court before regarding this.

[–] KiwiStraight9285@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

cause he is a whiny ass bitch, wahhhhh you tried to score in the dying seconds when already up!!! your not supposed to do that!!!! like why, does it make you feel bad that your gonna lose by 12 instead of 10? how about try winning next time you whiny ass clown, he's just mad him and his team are ass and can't play D or O to win the game so he takes it out on this "respect the game" bullllshittttt. If there's time on the clock you can score, if you don't like it then make sure your team is up at the end of the game. whiny ass bitch

[–] Bullsstopsucking@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yup, if you don’t like it, just don’t let them score

[–] 2drawnonward5@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I haven't seen anybody calling him much of anything. He's one of my favorite players on and off the court. His style isn't optimal for results but it's beautiful, largely fundamental basketball mixed with well honed, well mastered motions.

DeMar has a hard head for the game being beautiful by an old definition. My preferences jive with his because I think beauty in sport is sidelined in pro leagues. For this, he will always have detractors. People I disagree with.

But they are not miserable. They're not whiny bitches. They just have different tastes than me. To look down on people for talking their talk in this slop of a sub is weak. Get off your high horse and eat some collagen to thicken your skin.

It's like you've never seen DeMar DeRozan but you've got opinions about him. Weird.
