Why would you drop kyrie from the list when he has been significantly better then lowry in the playoffs for their career?
playoff kyrie:
24/5/3 on 45/40/88 - 56 TS%, 21.5 PER
playoff lowry:
15/6/4 on 42/35/79 - 54 TS%, 15.5 PER
did kyrie lay an egg vs. the bucks? sure... but lowry has laid a bunch of eggs in playoff serires.
Your first problem is that you’re trying to measure Lowry in box stats. That’s like measuring Draymond in box stats. There’s a reason Lowry has been better than Kyrie in RPM/RAPM every year. He’s more complete/more seamless/and more conducive to a winning formula. I’d call that better.
The playoff Lowry narrative was always a hoax (contrived by ppgz people) but even if it wasn’t he put that to rest this year. Compared to Kyrie who stunk to high heaven.
Hoax? so lowry shooting under 40% from the field in playoff series losses didnt really happen? several times?
Lowry's playoff on/off in TOR:
2014: +10.4
2015: +15.4
2016: +24.8
2017: +8.9
2018: +2.4
2019: +11.9
He did that despite playing the bulk of his minutes with DD, who put up the following:
2014: -6.6
2015: -7.9
2016: -4.8
2017: -13.1
2018: -19.9
2019 (SAS): -25.8
The data is really straight forward if you know where to look. Lowry was never the problem.
