Most of you doesn't mean all of you. Like I said earlier in another thread, a lot of people here have trouble with words... They read into them what they like.


It's up to the writer to write 100% comprehensible words.


No, the wording is precise. Most. Not all.

Don;t be offended because I didn't mean you, although if you want me to reconsider...


Take it easy Dagger, we all like you.

I think she's the one counting down the winding shot clock most of the time.

Nice write up. Strong start for DeMar so far. Here's hoping he'll keep moving up.

Master Ze wrote:A well written piece.

On Kiara,
she can be heard
calling out plays and defensive rotations
from her seat behind the basket. (“You were
all over our game tape,” former coach Jay
Triano would always tell her.)
I've never been able to catch this on TV or when I go, has anyone else?


I sat directly behind her at his first SL game in Vegas. I even chatted with her a bit because she overheard me talking about DeMar throughout the game. She'd scream at him every time he made a mistake and cheer loudly when he did something well. I could tell that her basketball knowledge was off the charts and I couldn't believe how intense she was. Nice girl but my brothers were annoyed by her by the end of the game. I thought it was awesome. DeMar definitely has two head coaches in his life and I wouldn't be surprised if his fiancee is tougher on him than Casey.

All jokes aside thought I've always been a DeRozan fan. How can you not love his approach to the game. Great Kid hope he reaches his goals.

Thx OP. Nice read.

Didn't know he was working with Gary Payton. That is awesome stuff. Probably has contributed to his improved handle.

DG88 wrote:I just finished reading it on my phone a well written piece. I just love the kids drive and you can see it on the court he's looking to impose his will out there. People over the summer were saying how he doesn't deserve to be on the select team and that BC had something to do with it or when he plays in the Drew League he isn't doing anything else. Those people so far are being proven very wrong and this article emulates that. What funny is that the same people dissing him have turn a 180 and have changed their tune from he's not going to get better he's 23 to he's just 23 he still has room to get better. People here need to be patient and also need to use their brains around here.

+1 he was labeled a finished product before his rookie contract is up, even more proof most of the fanbase doesn't have much patience.


We all got spoiled with Damon and then Vince being so good right out of college. Since then we have been severely let down on several occasions, most disappointing being Andrea since he was a 1st overall pick.

Unfortunately, we need to hope our draft pick is a stud since that is the only way to build a contender. While Demar has improved he still isn't that guy. Still have to commend him for putting in the work that is now showing dividends.

Well he did he get some nice praise from Kobe coming into the NBA, and he did sport Kobe shoes for his first few seasons... its likely.

He trained with Gary Payton in the summer to learn how to operate in the post at the suggestion of Casey (who lives in Seattle). If you're going to pay a guy you might as well make sure he has the drive and willingness to work hard to be great.

DeMar is an UGLY individual, so good for him on getting someone to settle down with him. I guess $38 mill helps with that, just ask his boy Seal.

Guess you're an ugly dude too. It's all good man, just sign a $38 mill contract, and you'll be fine. Oh, and lighten up. Girls like to laugh, not a tight ass.

Good luck.
