    I believe it's based on the count. He does the leg kick until he's at 2 strikes, then changes to the tap/twist. I think.
  2. John_Havok
    No issues with him at all. He pitched better than anyone likely thought he would. Getting almost through 6 with 2 earned runs against is about as best case scenario as you could ask of him.

    I get it. I personally think the Raps are stuck with what they are because they hitched themselves to the wrong player and by signing him to the max deal he's effectively untradeable. Any hope of getting to the next level will have to be the result of Derozan suddenly transforming his entire game into something that isn't 1 dimensional, or a Masai Ujiri ninja move that nobody sees coming to land legit 3rd scoring threat that isn't a uselss tit on defense. Neither of those are very likely. I get your point that watching a 50 win regular season team is better than watching a bottom feeder, but we've seen the 50 win TV show already and we can see its not going anywhere.

    That's the whole game of Derozan though, pull up mid range jumpers and getting to the free throw line. He doesn't make things happen, he just shoots after he's been freed up from screens. Sure there the occasional drive and dunk, but far more often than not it's just a s***** long range 2 after the shot clock is nearly gone.

    Derozan will be never be the man on a championship team. He's not elite no matter what anyone says by pointing to his PPG. The Raps are a very good team. But they need to take the next step to being great and they simply cant do that with Derozan as the focal point of the offense. He doesn't have elite skill where you need it in the NBA today. And if he can't be part of taking the next step, the only 2 choices you have are take a step back (not saying tank for #1) or do the same thing over and over again and hope for a better result. There's a lot of dead weight on the team that needs to be shed as well. JV, Caroll and the like.

    Nice to see the Raps playing inspired ball facing elimination. Only down by 12 at the half.

    I'd love to know where this belief that he's a below average defensive is rooted. He's not elite or great by any stretch either but he's solid average easily.
  12. John_Havok
    Yup. Too bad most of my other picks are dogf***ing
  13. John_Havok
    I'll take Russell Martin for sunday

    Alford injury? odd to see a guy replaced in a 7 inning game
  15. John_Havok
    It wouldn't be the worst story around to see Ottawa in the finals for Canada's 150th B-day

    I'm in and reserved
  17. John_Havok
    Thanks as always for the first hand info. If I could put 100 thanks on each post i would.
  18. John_Havok
    I agree. Sign him up.
  19. John_Havok
    The one difference is that he's 16, rather than a college age guy getting good results while being under 6 feet. Even if these not much height projection left, there's still the normal filling out that kids do between 16 and their mid 20s that will add to his velo. I wouldn't be scared to sign this kid at all.

    http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-black-swan-theory-of-drafting-pitchers/ Just change the word drafting to signing. .. Same principle. also, at 5'9 he's already taller than the average brazilian male adult by about an inch. Maybe that's why some might think there's not much height projection left.

    Lowry can work as part of the solution. Derozan cannot. Lowry can defend, pass, shoot the 3, run and handle the ball very well. Exactly what your PG needs to do in the NBA today. His one knock is the injury bug. Derozan can do .. 1 of those things.

    I guess it's official. Pillar sold his soul in the offseason

    Cavs are that good. Raps are an inferior team to the Cavs in every aspect of the game. But they do have enough talent to beat other bottom feeders and mid level teams. They just get exposed against teams with multiple highly skilled players. They're a really good team but will never be elite as they are constructed right now. As long as Derozan is "the man", this team will never win. He's way too 1 dimensional.
