Lowry is unplayable 

Post#1 » by JaysRule15 » Mon Dec 10, 2018 1:28 am

Is it the yips? An undisclosed injury? A simple cold spell? Whatever the case, we can't afford to be playing Lowry in crunch time when he's not a threat to score at all and is missing wide open looks in big moments. Teams will simply put extra pressure on Kawhi, who is being forced to create both for himself and his teammates with the game on the line. What can Nurse do in this situation?

I truly think the Raptors need to go in a new direction without Kyle Lowry. I actually am a fan and think he has played well as a facilitator/running the offense, but if his current shooting slump is any predictor of previous seasons' success... well, we all know how this ride will end.

I simply think he is not a #2 option on a "contender". It is what it is.
(not to mention: throwing Masai/MLSE under the bus was a big no for me.)

All this crap is tolerable when he is playing like a leader. Showing up with 0 points -- you damn right he deserves 100% of the criticism.

White Casey needs to stop playing and do something about this.

Mental and physical. He seems to be slower and stiffer coming off screens and when he misses, his shot is not even close. Also he’s passing up shots he should be taking.

Mental and physical midget.

he needs to provide something out there if his jumper isn't falling. Whether it be defense, penetrating and passing, rebounding, etc.

Problem is this midget (mental and physical) gives NOTHING.
So if his jump shot doesn't fall he sucks, especially in the clutch. And don't give me box score numbers, he gets those from handling the ball as often as he does.

I dont know man. Even when players are cold shooting the basket they STILL find a way to get a bucket or two through other means like drives or FTs! I haven't seen Lowry attempt a single layup in the last 3 games. Legit looks like hes protesting something and trying to make a point.

This is the dumbest thing I've ever read. "unplayable".... Do you know what that word means?

Lorenzo Brown is unplayable.

A guy in a shooting slump who still provides all-nba defense, and 10+ assists is not "unplayable".
