Old. Good for backup minutes next 2 years though so they would stick with him.

Conley, Dragic, Rondo & Lowry started to show their age this year. CP3 is a crazy outlier.

CP3 has played it masterfully by injuring himself yearly and making sure he almost never plays deep into the postseason. It’s a great routine for keeping your body in shape into your late 30s

No he's not

Yeah I think he's younger than all 3. And Deron and Melo are the same age. :lol:

I'm shocked how awful THT played this season.

I am as well, but the kid is so young. I have no clue what to think.

This thread could've been made during any season of Lowry's career, as he continually disappoints in the postseason.

Good locker room guy, organize trips for teammates, going to be the next Haslem.

Except he doesn't.... So. Not sure where you're getting that from.

They need to bench him to start the game tonight, or if anything give him a very short leash. In addition to not being able to make a shot, he is turning it over regularly in traffic and not collapsing the defense at all. Better off just going with Vincent and Dipo, hooefully Herro is back too. Cant believe they have 2 more years of him.

I've never understood where that reputation came from. Outside of a series against the Wizards where he played with an elbow (shooting elbow) and ankle injury he has consistently performed well in the playoffs.

He's 36 going on 37, coming off an injury. He's past his prime but he can be effective like tonight, if you are wanting anything more I'm not sure what to tell you. He's a season or two away from permanently waving a towel off the bench.

As a Heat fan, I'm very grateful to Kyle Lowry's contribution this season. He stabilizes the team with his presence, and this contributes to how his teammates perform. Yes, it would be great to see him score more. Sure. He does other things that are more important though.

They may have given him a short leash if he struggled again, but he didnt! Honestly though,I think they are best with the Vincent/Oladipo combo right now if Herro remains out.
