Audio: Doc Rivers Thinks DeMar DeRozan Should be an All-Star

With Toronto off to the best start in the history of the franchise, I wanted to ask Doc Rivers what has impressed him about the team while he's been watching game tape and preparing for the game tonight.

With Toronto off to the best start in the history of the franchise, I wanted to ask Doc Rivers what has impressed him about the team while he’s been watching game tape and preparing for the game tonight.

Rivers is impressed with DeMar DeRozan and boasted that he’s an all-star, but what really impressed him is how Toronto plays as a team.

They have some All-Stars. DeRozan’s an All-Star, not this year, but we know he’s an All-Star, we know that. They play so well together, they share the wealth, they have a great team spirit. They’re not the Pistons of Tayshaun Prince but they remind you a lot of that. They play hard, they’re tough, they defend…tough to prepare for.

Here’s audio of Dwane Casey chatting with the media about DeMar DeRozan passing too much and how he hasn’t had much luck working officials to get calls.
