I don't hate him, but his offense is no where near Bargnani's, so I feel like he should at the very least he should step it up on D to compensate. Hopefully he gets it this year, as I don't think BC and company are willing to sign him on long term if he doesn't take the strides they expect him to."Defense wins championships."

Casey seems like the type of coach who can get the most out of his players. That being said, if we don't see a noticeable difference in his defense after this year, he might've hit his defensive ceiling.Attitude Is A Choice.

3- DeMar DeRozan had another nice night offensively, scoring 17 points on 14 field goal attempts to go along with a couple of boards, an assist, a steal and two blocks. DeRozan scored all of his points through the first three quarters, however, as he was curiously stapled to the bench for much of the fourth quarter. I’m not sure if Dwane Casey was unhappy with something about DeMar’s game tonight, if he was simply sticking with a lineup that had them in a close game down the stretch, or if it was all part of the Tank Nation “conspiracy” (sarcasm by the way, as I can’t see Casey stomaching a purposeful tank). Whatever it was, DeMar didn’t know the reason either, or he did, and just wasn’t happy with it:

For the record, that tweet has now mysteriously disappeared. The NBA’s twitter policy does state that players can’t tweet until after they “have finished their responsibilities after games.” The game finished around 10:30. DeMar’s tweet was sent at 11:13. Hopefully one of the beat reporters can confirm soon enough whether DeMar completed his post-game responsibilities before tweeting. Either way, expect insane reaction, massive speculation and maybe even some confusion over what this tweet was really about, if we haven’t already figured it out.
Took place after the Rockets game
But I think things were fine afterwards, though you never know (like what happened with JJ)
Didn't catch DeMar DeRozan's Twitter mini-controversy until after I recapped Friday night's game. While it was juvenile and once again highlighted the double-edged sword that is social media, at least DeRozan rebounded from a tough night in the right way. The 22-year-old downplayed the tweet as vented frustration (Casey, for his part, saw some good in the fact that DeRozan was angry) and then proceeded to earn nearly a full game's worth of minutes on Sunday.Last edited by theycallmeZZ; Thu Jul 26, 2012, 12:02 PM.TORONTOOOOOO RAPTORSSSSSS

These are the numbers that told us Barkley was 6'8" and Shaq weighed 280.
Combine measurements might get outgrown occasionally (Not usually) but they are way more reliable than the press guides, which are basically wholesale lies.

upon reflection I am starting to think DeRozan has until the all star break to really come into his own.
Between Ross - Fields - Kleiza and Anderson that leash is starting to look short.
Calderon can also play the 2 in small ball situationsFor still frame photograph of me reading the DeRozan thread please refer to my avatar

upon even more reflection. DeRozan is in a contract year...he knows it, we know it, BC knows it, his agent knows it...this will likely be a career year for himFor still frame photograph of me reading the DeRozan thread please refer to my avatar
