Everybody is losing their freaking minds. Nutbars and wingnuts have infested this forum. We've become a public lavatory without cleaning staff.

I believe. #provem

Kyle Lowry has a tenacity, a temperament, a city flair out of Philadelphia that never, ever backs down. He keeps coming, and coming and coming.
I believe in Masai.

Woj nailed it with this.

I love this from Lowry:

"The criticism, it comes with the stage we're on," Lowry finally said. "I'll never complain about what comes with all of this. Here I am, man. I must be doing something right.

"Here I am."


And man, Demar and Lowry are just two likable friggin dudes.

Maybe Masai saw our wonderful "Kyle quit on the team!" thread.

"He got us here," Ujiri told The Vertical. "It makes no sense for anyone to say that he abandoned his team. The guy went and took a freaking piss, and everyone makes a big deal out of it.

"The guy got us here. That's who he's been. 'Oh, he's going to put on too much weight. Oh, he's going to be happy with his contract.' I don't get it. What else can the guy do? He's been phenomenal here."

Lowry is a national treasure.

Even when his shots aren't falling, he's scratching and clawing, doing whatever it takes to win. Questioning his commitment was always so ridiculous.

Tbf no media out of Toronto was ever questioning Lowrys commitment.
It was the American media who are unfamiliar with our team and just looking for narratives.

The article is incorrect.
The Cavaliers let DeMar DeRozan and Lowry rise up in a victory, and now the Raptors return to Cleveland for a Game 5 with something they didn't have upon leaving there: belief.


They always believed. lol people just don't get it

Great to see Kyle getting some well-deserved dap after grinding his way back over the course of these playoffs. But man The Woj is an awful writer.

As I said in that quitting thread, it's f'n ridiculous that anyone would ever doubt our boy from North Philly. The guy is all heart and will fight and claw with every fiber of his being for a W. We're not on this stage without his significant contributions.

We couldn't ask for a better rep for our city. And for the puckheads out there, he's like the black Gilmour. The undersized, gritty superstar who battles through some similarly questionable refereeing against the league's marquee superstar. :wink:

Woj writing all these fluff pieces for our team because of how much he hates LeBron lol. It's truly, truly amazing.
