I’ll probably keep a closer eye on them in the postseason, if San Antonio doesn’t make it. All of those guys seemed like really good teammates when they were in San Antonio and they only left recently, so it’s hard to not keep tabs on them, even if sometimes the result is reading a tweet saying that the Spurs were holding back Patty Mills or something equally asinine. It’s been easier to do that with DeRozan, since he was a media darling for a while, but it’s been good to see Patty Mills and LaMarcus Aldridge find success in Brooklyn and Rudy Gay find a role with a contender. Jesus Gomez: I haven’t watched too many of their games, but I do try to see how they are doing from time to time. Aldridge’s resurgence has also been a really fun story coming off of his heart problems and unretirement. I’ve been following DeRozan and the duo in Brooklyn a bit more than Gay because of time zones and health, but former Spurs are always of interest to me, especially when they’re thriving like DeRozan has in Chicago. Casual NBA fans don’t know that Patty can explode occasionally for a 30 point game, but fans of the Silver and Black always knew he could do that.īruno Passos: Are you asking me if I’ve been following along with this.ĭEMAR DEROZAN CALLS GAME FOR THE 2ND NIGHT IN A ROW /gCB52NPJ2G- Bleacher Report January 2, 2022 LaMarcus and Patty have defined roles in Brooklyn and they’re doing exactly as I expected. Rudy is a role player for the Jazz, and knows his role. DeMar has really benefited from his time in San Antonio, as it expanded his game on offense, and made him into a better team defender, and that really meshes well with the scheme and personnel in Chicago. From what I’ve seen, they’re all doing about what I expected, with DeMar DeRozan landing in the best situation for his talent set, a team with a lot of shooting, another star, and plenty of touches for him on offense. So I don’t think I see a lot of live action involving former Spurs against other teams in the league. ![]() ![]() Mark Barrington: I try to watch almost as many non-Spurs games as Spurs games, but that means that I would see most teams about twice as often as I would see them if I only watched Spurs games only. That being said, it’s been impossible not to see DeRozan plastered all over the news with the Bulls near the top of the East, and while I’m happy for him and all the overdue credit he is receiving, it’s too bad it’s often being used to criticize the Spurs for allegedly “misusing him”, even though he has continuously praised Gregg Popovich and the club for making him a better player, and his play this season isn’t that different from his seasons here he just has a better, younger core around him. I know all their teams are doing very well, but I haven’t been individually stat-watching them on a nightly basis. Rudy Gay and LaMarcus Aldridge this season? Have you been keeping up with former Spurs DeMar DeRozan, Patty Mills.
