He has a game high in points & minutes played and plays a high energy game. It’s amazing he’s playing as well as he when we can only spare to give him a rest for a minute or two at a time.

Said before that the refs **** the Magics but they literally **** both teams.

This Magic team is legit man. Glad to see guys like Fournier, Vuc and Gordon finally having success. Steve Clifford is a hell of a coach.

Shouts out to AG for accepting his role and playing really solid D on Kawhiso throughout this game.
It's time for 5 refs.

He's holding his own 1v1 vs Siakam (Isaac), but Siakam's also doing good when there are bad switches and blowing by others. He scored on Isaac a few times but they've been tough shots.
Siakam is a great player, I just have seen very little ability to create offense if not on cuts, fastbreaks or offensive glass etc.

Very impressive he’s making Kawhi really work


He moves his feet so well laterally for a dude his height and size. I question their fit offensively, but damn is Gordon and Isaac a hell of a young, long, athletic defensive duo.

I'm really surprised that the game is so close, orlando has played well against some top teams but I didn't expect it in playoffs because they are a flawed team.

I’m not trying to fire shots here, but I agree w/ the posters who have said the refs are favoring the raptors. The favoring is mostly with non-calls when Orlando players are being fouled...

I guess it’s part of having a HCA, but Raptor fans really shouldn’t be chanting refs you suck - that’s for sure.

Ehh....he's also making a lot of contact as well and has been hooking quite a bit. It's really difficult officiating physical guys like him...overall, I think officials have been fine. Bad calls here or there but that's basketball for ya.

Yea he's hooking the defender every time he tries to turn the corner on them

I think Lowry needs to see a psychiatrist.

His impact is there. He's a great player. He's not a guy who's going to carry an offense any time soon though. Especially as a 2nd or 1st option consistently. I see him as a Shawn Marion type. Elite 3rd option, great defender, jack of all trades type super role player/borderline all star type. Not the soon to be superstar who can replace Kawhi if he walks, as many Raptors fans seem to be saying.
