Is there some personal issues going on in his life? Is he playing through tired/sore legs? If he keeps wetting the bed the next 3 games I think it’s time to sit him out while Masai starts making calls
On point.

Honestly ...W-T-F?

Another game like tonight's and I'm wondering if Marsellus Wallace is asking Lowry to throw the fight.

If we want to actually have a chance to win anything we need a trade. Otherwise their will be the inevitable ending like this in the playoffs

Dear Masai

Please trade OG, Val, and Wright to Washington for Bradley Beal. I'll let you work out the salary and cap stuff.

Thank you, and please write me back

Ill be concerned if we are the same team come February/March. Until then, Im going to trust Nurse when he says this is an experiment process until later in the season. Im also going to believe Lowry will be fine in a couple of games, back to his normal self.

Yall get too high on the wins and absolutely turn dumb in the losses. Its a process and the way this team plays come Feb/March will most likely be better. Also, that’s a better time to determine how we will play come playoffs. Just relax a little and enjoy being the #1 seed in the league.

None. His argument is that this team is losing because of Kawhi (Kawhi is a boderline top-30 player according to him) and that Derozan is the better player.

He's easily the worst poster of all time.

I'm not worried tbh. It's gonna take some time to get Nylander integrated into the lineup.

Agreed. Leafs are definitely in much better shape than the Raptors.

basically the crazy 5 feet behind the arc threes that klow was hiting an an unsustainable clip

are now bricks or airballs or i don't know what.....


what Did I say at the beginning of the year, when nurse was getting kyle to play all those minutes???

nurse ran him into the ground and we aren't even at the half way point. We should be sitting kyle on back to back and limiting his minutes....

hes't obviously hurt...........It's like looking at deandre jordan shooting free throws this year and then he goes back to last years' form

he is hurt both physically and now mentally and I don't know what the heck is nurses' problem....

also I hate the iso only offence...........stop catering to kawhi and run some dang sets

Just a tad bit disappointed. It happens but that’s the issue. The loss to the Nets was horrible. Kept it close with the Bucks. Proves, they aren’t a joke. If Lowry shows up then I don’t see any issues.

We just need to get it going again and real quick. Gonna have some tough matchups on the road with the Blazers and Warriors.

Kawhi is the only reason this team is 21-7. We'd be hovering around .500 if we involved him less. The rest of the team are shooting abysmal percentages this year and can't be relied upon.

Yah after a night's rest I really do feel like this is a case of Lowry being played into the ground, banged up, then getting in his head. I don't think it's anything intentional - but it's certainly real.

We are, unfortunately, really in a binary situation. Either Lowry returns to form and we are back where we were as far as upside and possibilities, or he doesn't and this team is heading for a rebuild. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do to guarantee we get the good news story . . . I feel like it's 60/40 that things turn around, but there isn't a lot to be done.

You can't have $30 mio of salary cap perform at a $4 mio dollar level and have a shot of anything significant coming from the season. Time to change focus from regular season champs to peaking at the right time though - right now we peaked around game 12, which is not the idea. . .
