Raise his efficiency
Play league average defense
Get past the first round
Be the best player on our team (which he even isn't...)

But he's not even the best player on this team.

I will say this, he is looking to put together the 2nd best series in Raptor history if he can pull this out (Vince was mediocre vs the knicks in 2001 and AMAZING vs the sixers) Bosh was absolutely horrible in the playoffs and Lowry has been 2013 Lowry this series.

VC was soft in the playoffs. DD is already on the way to becoming the goat Raptor.

Only real comp is vc and bosh. Tmac prime years were not here.

Anyways think you demar fans are a little too insecure. It was never like this when bosh was here many enjoyed the team or spoke on its weaknesses(barg). However here every day some clown has to ask how demar ranks with said player. This team has been successful due to a team game and their cog lowry.

The inefficient volume shooter needs to find other ways to help. He also needs to be the best guard on this team which he is not.

VC is the best one so far and DD can come close to him if he gets us to EC Finals.

Be the leader of Raps playing in finals and he will be the best Raptor.

you must be young and don't remember VC competing against AI for ECF.

Oh, right now DD is probably 2nd or 3rd best player in Raps team, so once he is more valuable then KL & JV, then he will have to be better than VC.

Lowry is my guy on this team, but has played like CRAP this post season.

If we win, it looks like its on DD's shoulders. He almost pulled it out again for us.

Win this series (which has been our most HEATED in terms of fan hate) and secure your spot son.

Kinda upset lowry is banged up in this series. He is not going to play better with that knee. He was gambling on defence late heavy.

Lowry and Vasquez are 1a and 1b on any given night.

The VC vs. AI series is legendary and one of the best 1v1 performances ever. Vince sucked ass his first year in the playoffs though whereas DD seems to have stepped up after his first taste of adversity. Now only if DD's teammates weren't such slow learners.

Are we talking about being a better player or accomplishing more team success? Demar will never touch VC at his peak with the Raps and Nets. His game is far to reliant on long contested 2s, nor is his talent and production up to par.Team success and longevity for sure if the raptors can build on this year and prove it wasn't a fluke and win some play-off series.

its as simple as beating this veteran savvy Nets.

Yeah, I mean just look at all the championships and playoff series wins vince has brought us. Going to be a tough task catching any of those accomplishments.

You could say the same thing about Vince. He was just slightly better at everything across the board.

Carter had numerous years at above 45% and 40% from 3 on high volume and this was before advanced analytic's had become such a driving force like in today's game. Demar's ability to get to the line helps his otherwise poor efficiency greatly.

He has already surpassed Bosh.
