Has Lowry Played Himself Out of the Starting Rotation?

I can't believe how ya'll are giving up on the guy that was in the MVP race at the beginning of the season. Jesus... He's slumping right now but I wouldn't be surprised if he was playing injured. He's done that many times before.

ZERO points from your second option is inexcusable.

After Kyle was taken out of the game in the third quarter, he sat by himself at the very end of the bench and stared straight ahead.

I think he’s lost a step and he knows it. Which is why he’s not driving anymore. The Bucks knew it and they were willing to let him pass the ball, which puts pressure on the other four guys to score.

Still confused as to why masai thought giving this fat pathetic cow 31m a year was a good idea. why not let him ruin the 76ers, why keep someone who has done nothing but yell and whine every minute he is on the court. worst signing ever! id rather use a time machine and see us draft bargnani again

I’ve seen people suggest that he’s injured but I haven’t found anything on what could be bothering him, other than soreness/fatigue?

I understand he's been struggling, but this is the league leader in assists we're talking about.

No matter how many assists, you can't put up a donut in the points category.

Nurse tried benching Lowry in the 4th but it didn't work. He brings other things to the table that just work for everyone else on the floor.

What's frustrating is he looked incredible in pre-season and the first 10 games of the season.

I wish there was a good trade partner for him.

I'd love to get rid what's left of the BC core (including JV...yeah I said it).

After all the things he said after the the nets loss about holding himself to a high standard and admitting he's been way to passive, I cant believe he came out with an 0/5 night. Unbelievable.

Yeah I’m worried now. Something is up. I can’t remember the last time he attempted a layup or shot at the basket. And he’s missing 3’s badly, losing his confidence.

He's played himself off this team, don't let the door hit you on the way out you perennial loser :lol:

You guys realize we have a coach that employs line ups with CJ Miles, right?

As in today, where FVV had a season high in points, was 5 for 7 from deep, CJ **** Miles came in for the last possession. How f*cking ludicrous is that? I don't care if Lowry has a stretch like this for another 20 games. He defends. He moves the ball. He plays a semblence of what I consider good basketball. CJ Miles does neither. He doesn't provide a modicum of D-League level ball. Dude is the biggest absolute bum I've seen since Alan Anderson and this week it dawned on me he's a bigger bum than stankface. He deserves to be waived.

He is clearly out of it. This stat is crazy to me. He's been playing scared.

Either Lowry is the stupidest player that ever lived because it only dawned on him now to be more aggressive or he’s simply lost a step and that’s why opportunities have dried up.

He looks to be out of shape to begin with and paired with a 33 year old body...well that’s the main reason why all he’s doing us chucking 3s.

The guy gets 30 million a year and is finally paired up with a superstar and what happens? He can’t even get himself into shape to take one last legit shot of winning a title while he is still a productive player.

He was still in good enough shape/as a basketball player to lead the league in assists and be a pretty efficient scorer until recently DESPITE struggling from three while helping lead a team to a first place record. I'm making no attempt to defend/analyze his recent struggles as they're baffling really.

there are a lot of incorrect narratives going on around him right now.

Kyle is a large part of our engine. Right now he is in a bad shooting slump.. not out of shape, not pouting, not losing a step or some played out narrative that has been debunked multiple times on this forum coming from the same group of posters .. what if its just that he's in a shooting slump? Good players go through slumps as well. Can't go through that and play as many minutes as you are unless you are doing something else right.

I for one will continue to support Kyle because he will come out of his shooting slump. This isn't difficult to understand but more difficult to accept for many.

Lowry to Phoenix for Ariza + salary filler

OG + JV + Pick + CJ (salary filler/tanking piece) for Beal

Raptors don't lose again this year.

I legitimately can't wrap my head around Nurse's love affair with CJ. Any good he's done as a coach is overshadowed by the fact that he plays this guy 20+ minutes every night. This is a guy shooting <30% from 3 and turning the ball over on every other play. He also provides nothing on the defensive end (he just commits shooting fouls).
