All time terrible post

Please don't compare the legend Demar DeRozan to that man child Barnes. Demar loved Toronto. Please don't besmirch Demar's great name ever again.

Demar besmirched his own name never trying on defense, frustration fouling whenever things didn't go his way, fouling out with flagrants to hide his shame his last game as a raptor

Oh he loved Toronto? Lol all is forgiven?

But I do actually think he’s improved a TON since being here. He’s noticeably improved as a passer, shooter and defender. Obv far from a perfect player but ironically I liked IQ way more in the deal but I’d say RJ has been better and more important to the team so far. I feel like we should find a way to keep him but obv still feels like the team needs another piece. I feel like it’s maybe another somewhat dynamic scorer and/or another solid legit big (but obv we’re hoping Chomche can grow into that).

It's not even close between those two as far as who's been better. RJ has been leaps and bounds better than IQ. The only thing that IQ's defenders can say for him is that he's a decent volume 3pt shooter on a team that needs shooting. Sorry but that's not reason enough to keep him around for me.

DeRozan got us labelled LEBRONTO with that awful performance against Lebron

nahh thats straight up humiliation for the city

DeRozan is on the same level as Bosh when it comes to Raptors "legacy", non-existent

Lowry would have left with out DeMar. We wouldn't even be in that position if it wasn't for him. He helped build our culture of working hard and having all our young guys develop under him. We legit only made it to the playoffs 5 times before him and won only one **** round :lol:. We were basically the Kings right now. DeMar made it 5 times the same total of VC and Bosh. Yea LeBronto sucked but at least it was against a guy who is in the GOAT convo with Jordan.

The point was that Demar was given year after year of failure to pound the rock.

Now our fanbase wants to trade a 24yr old all star and rookie of the year... Why because he doesn't shoot mid-range jumpers and dog it on defense?

Raptors lowkey sat the starters when they heard boucher was starting. Couldn't let this guy drop 50 on the starters for his revenge game. We knew Chris going off was inevitable.

DeRozean was the comparison. De Rozean was in the playoffs in year 5th. I am tired people are looking for excuses for Barnes. He has to proof it now. At some point, he is what he is.

You typed DeRozan/Kyle.

Scottie hasn't even started his 5th season.


I only typed in Lowry, cause they are essentially twins in this case. And i dont care if it is "only" year 5th. I care about progress, and i dont see little to no growth in Barnes game. I hope this year will be different. Dont get me wrong, i want him to succeed, but the notion that is above beeing critized for things he already should have learned is just wrong.

Who said he was above criticism?

This shows how much we lack talent/depth. CMB leap frogged all these scrubs. Only Shead/Abaji is solid.
