Ewing Theory: DeMar DeRozan becomes Kobe Bryant 

Post#1 » by Troubadour » Mon Feb 27, 2017 8:38 pm

DeRozan takes 30 shots per game
Ibaka and Tucker become defensive stoppers that we have needed all season
The offence falls off a cliff, but we still get stops

TIED FOR 3RD - 3 GAMES BACK FROM 2ND

Have faith in DeMar DeRozan. He is not the type to back down from a challenge.

Ewing Theory was proven wrong. Same as our 13-9 record without Lowry, almost all the wins came against garbage teams. When the Raptors won 10 in a row or whatever it was without Carter back in the day almost all those games were against garbage teams too

Well, lucky for us, we're playing mostly garbage teams the rest of the way.

I have ZERO problems with Derozan taking a large portion of the shots and JV taking less minutes IF it equals wins. But once we start losing games because DD FG% goes down the tubes in the 2nd half of games, ill be taking names.

100%. I appreciate DD's ability to be an iron man so much more right now.

This thread has such multi-bump potential. With every disappointing loss or great performance (hopefully), it will come back like an old friend to comfort us all until Lowry makes his return (hopefully)
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

In all honesty, just get the W. Find a way.

Man, GROAT sounds disgusting. Like some kind of horrible diagnosis.

Times like these are when you appreciate what we have in Demar especially with Lowry out til the playoffs. If IT goes down, BOS goes down with him.

Demar going into hero mode is the worst thing that could happen to this team especially come playoff time. He is naturally going to get more shots without Lowry around, but he needs to focus just as much on being a smart ballhandler and getting others involved.
