He used to do that a lot. But then injuries made him a bit more scared. That and Casey.

The biggest problem we have is the coach. With a better coach, we'd be winning a lot more games.

He chucks 3's and once in a blue moon he has a good assist game. Tonight he single handily killed by fantasy teams field goal percentage.

I'm not the biggest Lowry fan, but was he that bad tonight? I thought he played pretty well against HOU and MEM.. he basically carried us at times in those games.

Guys our team is deeply flawed. Some nights one guy will look good while another will look terrible. Then they'll switch the next game.

Not worth getting angsty about.

You're right, Lowry is pure rubbish. I can't remember the last time I seen a successful pick and roll. After Calderon left, Amir has been invisible this season.

He's fine but not worth what we gave up, especially on a short deal.

If you want to feel better about Lowry, just think of having Felton as our starting pg.

Lowry just hasnt been right since being called out by the team last December.

The deal looks bad because it got us nowhere, but not many PGs would look good beside Rudy and DeMar.

It's unfortunate that father time got so early into Kyle Lowry :(

What's funny is that I had lunch with Terrence Ross' agent yesterday. We talked about every possible scenario. Toronto never came up.

Meh, he's been more or less the Lowry of the last few seasons, if a little more inconsistent game to game. He's still been leagues better than DD and RG.

He put out the effort tonight, just couldn't cash in with the shot, and couldn't break down the D off the top, of course.

I think we can get value for him from a team that needs a backup. He'd be nice on a good team where he can play all out for 23 minutes. Indiana comes to mind.

He is settling too much for the three pointer. Half of his shots are three point shots. That's just bad basketball if you're taking a lot of shots, unless you're Curry.

Call it whatever you want but Kyle has been disappointing. 0-7 from 3 last night. ouch. I will still give him the time to get into a team rhythm (what an ugly word), but i as well am losing any joy i had when we got the guy. I never had a hate for Jose but man he would look so much better with this team. As someone else said, Amir's deadly pick and roll game vanished once Jose left.

lolz. No its not, since he can actually hit three point shots. This year he's hitting 38%. x1.5 that's almost 60% from 2. What do you think of our other, outside shooting specialists derozan and gay and their long twos? If anything this is an argument that lowry is a capable/contributing player.

This is simply horrendous logic. Yes, he's been disapointing since he went 0-7 last night...in fact lets further examine this trend. The game before he was 3/5, the game before that 4/10 (ZOMGOSH ONLY 40%!!!!!!!!11111oneoneone), the game before that 3/4. A true failure in every way. But, If only he could find a "rhythm" according to anonymous realgm posters, then he'd have my respect.
