Nurse mentioned playoffs about getting a bucket. I want Tobias for DeMar rn.

I'd definitely be interested in Demar for the playoffs. He is one of the only players that should theoretically be available, that has the ability to go get his own shot against playoff defense. In theory Tobias is a better 2-way player, but he isn't good enough on either side to be a difference maker in the playoffs. Demar is a liability in defense and he won't shoot the 3, but he will score on a locked in playoff defense. That said, it's a risky move chemistry wise to replace Tobias with Derozan.

Have you watched any of Demar's toronto playoff games? He becomes useless under playoff defense. No thank you.

I just looked up his playoff stats in case I was misremembering. Whooooof. Its like a slasher movie how ugly and horrifying it is.

Eh, I'm not super pro-Demar but I always thought his stats and rep were somewhat just bad luck/small sample size. He was really bad in his first 2-3 years and then after that he's been pretty alright, good for 20+ on okay efficiency even on slow and grinding teams where neither team usually shot very efficiently. Had a really nice 7-game series against DEN the last meaningful series he played in too.

I don't think he'd be huge for us but like Lloyd said his best thing is that he can create against locked in half-court defenses, and that's our worst thing. Don't want to flip Tobias for him but do think he could make a difference in the PO.

OK, NBA.com doesn't summarize playoff stats so this is an average for his TS% ignoring his first 3 years of playoff ineptitude. It's not perfect as he doesn't take exactly the same number of shots each year, but he's actually pretty consistent in that regard. Anyways, here' the results.... Is 52% true shooting considered good? Ummm no its terrible. but thought I'd ask a rhetorical question. And how about net rating, that accounts for some defense too? He's -10 net rating over his last 4 playoffs. Pretty sure that's also terrible. Enlighten us on what he would provide outside of terrible iso ball with no defense?

[Kova]

The best wins are those when the Celtics or Bucks lose on the same night. Carry on.

To be fair.. the refs did a bad job this game

[Stanford]

Why is that considered flopping? Do these generalboardists really think Embiid fell on purpose?

[Sixerscan]

Getting upset about random calls in a blowout, what is that guy a raptors fan or something?

Yeah, I get complaining about the call in general, not sure where the flop is though.

Also, they got their ass kicked regardless, who cares?

[Negrodamus]

Being a crybaby comes with an FSU fan card, so it's not surprising that's leaking over into his Magic fandom.

[Mik317]

Goga tripped him. Thats a foul.

The other one should have been a no call tho
