This, mostly

It's crazy how consistently **** we are



It's so weird. Even when we're a good team...we're chit. Boggles my mind.

I thought this year would be different. This was the most complete team we've ever had. I had a new confidence I never had before with this team and now its completely gone.

Like guys the Bucks have two very good players, one of which will be a superstar in this league.

They have no business doing what they did to us in game 1, with a borderline NBA player in Delly outplaying our best player.

And Then Maker who I was expecting to go in the 2nd round of the draft.

Dude has been shut down by some Canadian high school players and we made him look like friggin Ben Wallace out there.

I'm also mad Ujiri is blind to how bad our coaching is and he's itching to give Lowry the max on the first day of FA

Am I mad? No, I fully expected to lose game 1. We always lose game 1, I have Raps in 6.

Lowry looked unbelievably bad though, and it had nothing to with only playing a handful of regular season games after the injury. He was literally scared to score the ball, he wasn't even looking at the net while he was driving. He was leaving his feet looking to pass, and he was making terrible, predictable passes. It's disheartening to see that kind of play from one of your leaders.

It's a reality check for him, he needs to get his head right.

Is Lowry shying away from contact to protect his contract? 

Post#177 » by TooBad » Sun Apr 16, 2017 2:31 am

After watching the game tonight I couldn't help but notice that every time Lowry drove into the paint he would shy away from contact and make a horrible pass to someone on the perimeter. There were several times where he could have easily got himself a layup and potentially an and 1 by driving into his opponent but he continually p*ssed out and put his teammates in bad spots with awful passes. I don't know what his f*cking problem is but if he's playing soft in fear of re-injuring himself and picking up that big contract he needs to benched ASAP. I know its only been a few games with Lowry back but honestly the Raptors were at their best this season when he was injured and Cojo was starting.

He was definitely playing scared and avoiding contact. If he's still injured he shouldn't be playing that's all I'm saying. Getting injured again would probably cost him more than playing poor (everyone already knows he's awful in the playoffs).
