DunkinDerozan

Studying for hours is never the way to go. Best way to do good is to just know the stuff and look it over before. For exams, I don't study until about 15 minutes before the exam. I find it works best for me.

Demar derozan is really stepping up in this one. Lets hope he can keep it up

Today's the day boys. I could not be any more excited. The next 6 and a half hours or so is going to be the longest of my life. Its time for big blue to take the Superbowl again!

don't worry about it. Finish it whenever you feel like it. Thanks again!

His dunk last year wasn't even that good, but he won it anyways. I bet he knew he couldn't come up with anything better, so he dropped out. Hopefully Demar Derozan does it, because atleast dunking is something he can do.

I like MKG for sure. I'd take him with a fourth overall pick or later assuming Davis Barnes and Drummond are 123.

talk about putting the team on your back.

I have no interest in Jones at all. For me I like Barnes if we don't land 1st pick. Some people will be against me, but I think if we land a mid range pick we have to take a gamble on kabongo. He's a Toronto boy, he's got the right attitude and he's got a lot of talent. I love him. Oh, and when I said the thing about Kabongo, I meant if we have our own pick and get another one through trade.

That one good game is a one time thing for him. I still don't see him being a genuine top 6 forward on a playoff team.

I definitely think they are a lot closer than people make them out to be. Even though Perkins is obviously a bigger man and a better defender, I still think jumping clear over a guy for an allyoop pass is still extremely crazy.

That makes them just that much better. Right now I'd call them my favorite to come out of the west and play Miami in the final

OMG :o

I'm liking the east lineup

Thank god its still working. I rightfully pay for games of my favorite teams, but sometimes I want to watch games that are not available in my area. What was the point of seizing the site if part of it still works?

Blake griffins dunk Is only better because of the person he dunked over

Happy birthday Art Hues!

If he goes to the Lakers it gives them the freedom to trade Pau.

They should be going for a PG for sure.

I've got him on my fantasy team, so its good news for me :glasses:

I just noticed I reached 200 a little while ago. I'm moving up in the OTR world

Ok, I went and counted, and Lombardi has had 9 games this season where he had under 12 minutes on the ice. I don't know about you but i consider under 12 being fourth line minutes. 9 games out of his 33 might not be a lot, but its certaintly more than your making it out to be. I also went and looked at this, and Lombardi had one game this year where he had 19:18 TOI. That I would consider 1st line minutes. Other than that he had one where he's only had one game over 16 minutes. Kessel averages 19:43 TOI and Lupul average 18:45, so I would consider top line minutes 18-20 minutes on the ice.. Ok, you got me on the whole recovery period thing. I thought I remembered him being eased into the first couple weeks of games, but obviously I was off on that. Fourth liners on the Leafs average 10-11 minutes a game, so 12 is really not a big stretch from that. Ok your right about that. in a bottom six role, its better to have someone who is physical and can grind it out in the corners and win some puck battles. I'd just like to throw in there that that basically fully describes Armstrong, who you described as a scrub. Thats a whole different argument, so I won't get started on that. I think you're right about Frattin having more hustle in his game. When he was with the big club he was going all out on every shift, and that was something I really liked about him. I'm not saying its a good thing, but that kind of shows that Lombardi has gotten around the same production that Frattin had without going hard on every shift. If Lombardi would just use his blistering speed more often, he would have much more scoring chances. If Frattin was going all out on every shift and only managed 10 points in 37 games, than he obviously needs to improve. You're right though. It's better to have someone who goes hard on every shift then someone who is lazy and doesn't produce as much as he should because of what almost seems like laziness.

Problem with Derozan could just be he's not the type of player that has the skill-set to be relied on to be a teams #1 scorer. When hes the top player on our team, we're basically screwed because he doesn't have the capability to carry a team. Although he wasn't doing much before bargs got hurt too. I don't know, I just hope he can snap out of it.

Wow. final score 100-64? Rondo wasn't even playing? How can we be THAT bad?

Mathew Lombardi has played the majority of his time for the leafs on the 4th line with a bit of third line minutes. I don't remember any 10 games where he played with Kessel/Lupul. I can only remember 1 or 2 when he played with them. Plus in his first 10 games back or so, he barely played at all because he was coming off a rally tough injury, so he was kind of eased into playing time. Lombardi has a tone of speed which is really what keeps him in an NHL lineup. When he's using his speed to skate right by defenders, he really looks good out there. I guess you can say that Frattin has a more physical side to him, but when he was on the leafs, he just seemed to keep turning the puck over by not being able to get by the defenders. Plus what everyone seemed to be most excited about when he was coming into the Leafs lineup, the one timer, was basically non existent.
