Love for Lowry
Hey all. I've been a Raptors fan since the beginning. Seen the (rare) ups of the franchise and been there through the (significant) downs. Watching this years team, and more specifically Kyle Lowry has been nothing short of an absolute treat. Of late, Kyle's mental game has abandoned him. I think we can all relate in one way or another whether that be in sport, your career, your education, or any other aspect of your life where you have for some reason or another, lost confidence.
I know that players browse these forums, and I'm creating this thread with the intention that we as a nation can all send some positive vibes, and our collective confidence in Kyle's abilities to this OUTSTANDING basketball player. I KNOW that if we can get Kyle playing at even 75% of his capability, we not only have a great chance at making the eastern finals, but really making a push for a title.
Kyle, I've seen you torch teams time and time again. Games against Cleveland x2 and Golden State x2 this year come immediately to mind.. I watch these playoff games with the same mindset as the regular season, where when we're down late, I fully EXPECT a comeback. I am just waiting for you to turn on the 4th quarter Lowry God-mode that we've all become accustomed to. You can hear it in Devlin's voice, he's used to it, he's waiting for it. You have it in you, it's who you are, it's who you've been, we march towards victory with you at the front of this team, GET IT DONE KYLE.
I'm just one man in Edmonton, Alberta, some 2700 kilometers from Toronto, but I believe in you. You have created a love for the game that this country has never seen before, and as Canadians, we damn sure stick by our heroes.
As a nation, we embrace you Kyle, you are one of us.
I believe. Canada believes.

Also, put a damn compression stocking on your right arm.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

Re: Love for Lowry
The crowd should start a "Let's go Kyle" chant. I really think that would be huge for his confidence.

Re: Love for Lowry
i always love lowry even when he isn't playing well.. except for moments last night when he stopped being aggressive. even if his shot isn't falling, we need the ball in his hands and we need him taking open shots. can't shy away from it. in crunch time, the ball in cojo's and demar's hands make me cringe

Kyle:
Please know that us REAL FANS, realize you have a combination of a damaged elbow / back, which has lead to broken shooting mechanics, and has also damaged your confidence
This however has not damaged your heart, effort, or desire to compete
We appreciate everything that you bring to our team & know that you will return to the player that we all know & love, hopefully sooner rather than later
Get well soon
The silent majority

Re: Love for Lowry
Kyle doesnt need love. He needs to hit open shots. And i have 100% confidence his shot will return to form next game. You could see it during last nights game. his shot is almost there, its just slightly off. The mechanics are great, hes got good follow thru, great rotation on the ball, it just isnt falling. Im taking him in all fanduel lines tomorrow, because evryone is gonna be down on him, but i know he will come thru!!!!

Maybe that's why he looks so vulnerable right now. He's still accumulating the energy to drop it.

Re: Love for Lowry
I we will always love you K-LOW; the best pitbull point guard this franchise will ever have. The first day you become a Raptor I knew we will get something special; That shot last night I completely lost my voice and never stop believing. Fans whose saying to trade him, talk trash about him, and blaming him for his team struggles are considered fake fans. There is a time again we will say Lowry time whether it's tml Game 2, Game 3, Game 4, or next season we believer will always have your back when the time comes ^_^

Re: Love for Lowry
Thank you OP. I was just coming here to start a similar thread.
Kyle, as a nation, we were immensely grateful and honoured to have you re-sign with us instead of all other teams a couple of years ago. Sure there was an extra couple of million reasons per year to do so, but everyone knew that it wasn't for money (and income taxes killed a lot of the extra anyway). You chose us. You chose to move forward with us, and with Masai, and with the whole of the organization. Nobody with your stature and pedigree had ever done so before. We all still cherish that moment when we found out.
Your work ethic and passion has inspired us ever since. Every time you hurl your body against the floor for a loose ball, every time you stand in front of a 250-pound Mack truck barrelling down on you just to take a charge, and every time you drive to bucket without fear - they all bring us to our feet and make us pump our fists and make us shout "**** yeah!" and make us feel extremely proud and lucky that you have become an honourary Canadian. You represent what we all want to be. You're doing it.
We're all just as angry and frustrated as you that your shot has abandoned you. Because not only do we want those shots to fall for the North, we want them to fall for you, because what you have done for us, and how you have inspired us already.
We're a million different colours on the exterior. But on the interior, our hearts beat in time, together, when you're on the floor. We're one, and we're with you, Kyle. The North is with you.

It has already been charging for ~3 seasons, which means he's just about ready to drop it. Let's go Kyle!

Re: Love for Lowry
Love is a terrible defender but I wouldn't mind that trade. We'll need to find a PG
