DeMar DeRozan

[d2bets]

DeMar DeRozan last 6 games:

40 PTS | 67 FG%
38 PTS | 50 FG%
35 PTS | 64 FG%
36 PTS | 68 FG%
38 PTS | 59 FG%
45 PTS | 60 FG%

35+ points in 6 straight games shooting 50%+ each has been done twice in NBA history. Both by Wilt Chamberlain.

Wilt never got to 7 though.

He shud come back to toronto

So leaving POP... you have an insane year afterwards?? Interesting.

He is good at making players better. He became a more efficient under Pop. And then went to a team that let him loose.

[jrgum3]

Imagine if the Lakers had him instead of Westbrook. They might actually be a serious playoff contender instead of a team that'll be lucky to be there and done after the playin round.

Rare Air

[stevenash]

Fifth in the league in scoring, has a legit chance of winning the scoring crown.
Just 1.5 points from Embid's average who 100 percent will not win the scoring crown now that Harden is in Philly.

When Zach come back next week they'll lock up the East Conference.

[d2bets]

If DeMar isn't the current MVP favorite, it's because they're doing it wrong.

Booker or Embiid the MVP

Lean now Booker

Don't sleep on the point guards either.

[clockwise1965]

He is having a mvp type season.

[jjgold]

Yes but Booker a sleeper

[d2bets]

Yes but Booker a sleeper

Nothing against Booker, but I don't see a case for him over DeMar right now. DeMar efficiency just off the charts.

[jjgold]

He is 35-1

He is not winning

You are basing your opinion on the odds or on performance? Sometimes the odds are wrong. I hammered DD 45-1 and 50-1 as much as I could find. Crazy value. What if he extends this record run a few more. Or hits another couple buzzer beaters. He definitely can win.

Booker is 27-1. I see 0 case for him.

Most likely it's Embiid, but DD has a shot. I suppose Jokic too. But best value right now is DeRozan.

[jjgold]

Phila fading
He might not win

[stevenash]

Phila fading
He might not win

He's a one trick pony.
He scores, and that's it.
Gobert and Jokic are better rebounders, and Jokic is third in the league in assists.
And he plays center.

Embid will be out of consideration by months end.
I think one of the PG's may win this if not Jokic or the Greek.

[jjgold]

Jokic can win every year
Guys does it all

[TheMoneyShot]

Is this a Derozan contract year??

[d2bets]

Is this a Derozan contract year??

No. Last season was. Bulls gave him ~ 3/82.

[slayer14]

Guy the the closest to elite player we are going to see this decade

Spot on.

Hall of famer

[JIBBBY]

He's having a run on a new team that needs his offense. To be expected.

Past 3 years in San Antonio he averaged just a little over 20 points a game. I need see more before I suck on his balls.

[stevenash]

Is this a Derozan contract year??

Or the Greek.

That game last night he had is considered one of the most efficient in years.
He hung a 50 burger while shooting 21 times.
Who does that?
17-21, 50 points.

Only the 14th time in NBA history anyone has scored 50 or more while shooting 80 percent or better.

That was better that Jokic's night last month when he recorded a triple/double with 12 assists and no turnovers.

[Chi_archie]

what's even crazier is he's scoring all these points and he's only had ONE game in his last 8 games where he made a three pointer

https://www.basketball-reference.com...derozde01.html

lots of teams NEED a guy to up his offensive game

if it were that simple, there'd be a few guys scoring 40 points per game EVERY year

Need doesn't put the ball in the bottom of the net. Skill does

[Chi_archie]

boom goes the dynamite

[d2bets]

He's done it. 38 points on 16/27 shooting tonight.

DeMar DeRozan now passes Wilt Chamberlain to become the only player in NBA history to score 35+ points while shooting 50%+ in 7 consecutive games.

In the last 7 games, DeRozan is averaging 38.5ppg on 61% from the floor.

30-1 right now on MVP is absurd value.

[Fidel_CashFlow]

I knew he was good offensively

but not this good , this surprises me .

The efficiency is otherworldly

[stevenash]

30-1 right now on MVP is absurd value.

Here's the problem, Greek put even better numbers last night, as incredible as that seems, and Jokic is playing out of his shoes tonight.
Jokic has 24/16 so far and the third quarter just stared, Jokic and Greek are in the mix, and you got those two PG to contend with.

Now, having said all that, 30 to 1 is tempting.

Demar Dejordan

[stevenash]

Demar Dejordan

And the Bulls get Zach back next week, Vucevic is a top five center, he's having another monster season averaging a double/double a game...
That Bulls team's going to be trouble for Milwaukee and the rest come east conference playoff time.
They have three bona fide studs.

[Cross]

DeRozan is the MVP! Even if he doesn’t win the vote, he is the man!

[TheMoneyShot]

Why can't he be shutdown?? lol Unguardable? lol

Wheaties box next
