Despite his age and all his defensive warts, I think DeRozan is going to get PAID this offseason because he has a skillset that is absolutely essential need in playoff basketball. I don't care how great your team defense or your collective 3P% is, if you don't have a guy who can go get a bucket in the final 3 minutes your team is fatally flawed if your goal is to win a title.
Hawks made the big run with the 76ers starters on the bench. 76ers starters have outscored the Hawks in every single game of the series and Simmons is doing a good job against Young. 76ers bench is getting killed.
