Our team is Kyle Lowry, and he is injured /hurt

I' ll say this: at points in this season he was showing, by far, the most hustle and energy of any player on both teams. I cannot single out one stretch in this game where he stood out for his relentless effort. He looks like he's saving himself. For what I haven't got a clue. It's exactly how he has been playing down the stretch, though.

Lowry was single-handidly the reason we lost that game. As bad as everyone else played I honestly believe we could've squeeked out a win if Lowry didn't play. He was literally a net-negative on the court.

I expect him to make amends on Monday.

If he is hurt, his minutes should be reduced. If he plays like this the team is better off with his replacement.

Oh yes he does, once the playoffs finish.

He's choked so many times on big FT's over the last few years, that it's pretty obvious his issue is mental. He chokes plain and simple, and come playoff time every shot is high pressure.

No more excuses. He's been brutal in the playoffs.

That was then. Something may have happened in the following 2 years.

Yeah he had actually GOOD DEFENDERS ON HIM.

Dude was going up against a slow, fat Deron Williams when we played Brooklyn. Hill and Wall are elite, long defenders and his midget ass is getting exposed.

It's funny how mods only keep up threads with excuses, but the threads speaking the truth get deleted.... Do the raps own the mods here?

No no **** done with the excuses for lowry and his suckage. If we're being honest lowry has sucked the past few weeks. I could see this coming. So many excuses for this dude just because y'all like him. He sucked today worse then dd. But dd catches most of the blame 6 to s dd fault too 4-9 fts someone else fault also? Beginning of shot clock three

Stfu no excuses .

Kyle has been off for the past ~20 games. Ever since he injured that elbow his shot has been off, particularly from the FT.

Many people overlook FT shooting but it is very often the difference between winning and losing games.

He is just not very good. Low IQ and his intensity pitbull style is easily overmatched during playoffs while it works in reg. season when it doesnt matter.

His bad FT performance didn't start today. A very worrying trend for sure.

Yeah, he is a playoff choker plain and simple.

i mean he hasnt shot his threes in a while

The excuses need to stop. Injured, start time, refs. DD and Lowry are chokers in the playoffs. Casey doesn't do them any favors. Lowry bricking clutch free throws is not a new development.

So his game coincidentally fell off a cliff around the time he hurt his elbow? Don't be so stupid

Kyle Lowry's Playoff Shooting:
2009 (off the bench for Houston): 21-63: 33%
2014: 44-109: 40%
2015: 18-57: 32%
2016: 3-13: 23%

It's becoming a trend. Injuries are no excuse since pretty much every starter in the playoffs is dealing with some form of nagging injuries. Sh*t, even Paul George has been playing on a gimpy ankle for a few weeks now!

all three seasons we've been in the playoffs, Lowry's magically been hurt. He's no more hurt than other players on the other team if he's still playing. It's not an excuse.

He had fat Deron Williams guarding him. When you put a long wiry strong guy like George Hill on him with a set defense waiting, he has nothing (especially when he's missing his 3's).
