That must have been some kind of conversation when DeMar DeRozan first met Bismack Biyombo.
“When he was in Charlotte, I hated Bis,” DeRozan said Sunday. “He was a fouler, always blocking shots. He always went for the pump fake, though, but I hated Bis.”
Now? Not so much.
“When he’s on your team, you love him to death,” DeRozan said. “We all love him, and like I say he’s the spirit when we’re out there on the court.”
It’s not hard to see why the Raptors appreciate the energetic centre, who set a franchise record with 26 rebounds in Saturday’s Game 3 win over the Cavaliers.
