Demar played 32 minutes last night, goes 2-7, -18 +- SMH
Post · "I hate this team. I hate this roster...this is the Hindenburg of NBA teams this year." - Zachary Curtis Lowe, on the Kangz▲ 112Oct 16, 2025Source ↗
Exhibit 02Negative.no flair
DeRozan is one of the most overrated players in the league. He scores 20 and everyone thinks he’s a winning player. He’s an empty calories player. All day.
Post · Sabonis and DeRozan is one of the worst possible fits I can think of. You can't have two "no 3 and no D" high-usage players on the same team given how important both those things are.▲ 103Oct 27, 2025Source ↗
Exhibit 03Negative.no flair
He's no DeMar DeRozan. Not only does Derozan have a negative on-off in every postseason appearance (7 out of 7), he also has a negative raw plus minus in every postseason appearance. And if that isn't enough he also holds the record for worst total +/- in the playoffs of any player ever. DeRozan is -373 and McCollum is a distant second place at -289.
Post · Jaylen Brown records his 7th postseason (out of 9) with a negative on-off. He has achieved negative career on-off in both the regular season and postseason▲ 81May 3, 2026Source ↗
