Sorry I can't be impressed with "self aware". Let's see some action on the court. And heck, if they feel like they need to jack up shots because JJ clogs things, why don't they speak up to the coaching staff.

both lowry and demar have been horrible...but especially lowry

the first half of the season lowry was a 24 PER player...since that portland game...lowry has been playing like a 15 PER player

my gawd that is a HUGE difference, wtf happened to our boy lowry?

Lowry = tired/sore
Derozan = Injury set him back

I have faith they will bounce back in playoffs. Both these boys have heart. If we lose, we are losing with a fight.

Although he can help himself by looking to pass more and shoot only good shots. Same with Demar. These guys have talent they just constantly make poor decisions.

Athletes always believe that they can break out of their slump with the next move or shot they try to make. A lot of times it just doesn't turn out that way and that's when we, the observers say the athlete is making bad decisions.

Coaches need to be the ones to tell these athletes/players a slump means it is a chance to showcase the other parts of their game.
When a coach encourages or not put a stop to these shots it only enhances this slump for all to see.
Coaches are there as an observer that can make changes during the game to make sure his players play the game in the most efficient way on offense and defense.

ATM Westbrook is very Lowry-ish, 4-18, 0-4 for threes currently against the Suns. But hey at least he still grabbed 6 rebounds and dishing out 8 assists and the game is not finished yet...

Talking about heroball and ego...how could both Lowry and DD have a bigger heroball mindset than Westbrook is beyond me.

lol.. now is definitely not the time to criticize Westbrook..

oh they're just 9-1 in their last 10, while Westbrook is averaging near 29 ppg with Durant out of the lineup. Over 20 points and 10 assists in his last 4. Westbrook gets way too much hate around the league, dude is a straight up baller.

My intention is not hating on Westbrook, but criticizing Lowry and DD. Westbrook is on the other level compared to our own two.

Derozan was trash before the injury as well.

Nobody is hating on Lowry, just constructively criticising since we know what he's capable of.

I'd say he was worse before.. the shooting was still crap, but at least he's setting guys up now, and he seems a little more active on defense since returning

At least they're acknowledging that they're playing like trash right now. There's players that will play trash and keep chucking up shots to "shoot their way out of the slump".

That is more or less what they've been doing, though, regardless of the contrite quotes.

Yep, and the fact that Demar likes contested shots over open, doesn't really indicate he's learning from his experience.

Keep chucking as long as you play defense. :roll:


Clearly that's not true. Good or bad defense, Demar and Kyle are allowed to chuck all the shots they desire.

Can we just agree that this is a marathon and not a sprint and if they hit the wall now and face a top ranked team in the West like GSW getting smoked is no surprise? Do we think because we aren't the equal of GSW that that mandates blowing things up? We're struggling probably because of wear and tear not the rotations or the offence.

After a long all star break when everyone, excluding Lowry, had a chance for a vacation? Even for Lowry he had his share of rest. The Raptors didn't play until Friday following the all star weekend.
