I think its dumb, clear troll attempt that wont really promote good discussion on Lowrys impact.

I think leaving the thread open but banning TS would be a beautiful compromise

It's a troll thread for sure, but the premise ain't wrong.

Heat fans all over the place - twitter especially - acting like it was Spo and #HeatCulture that unlocked the Kyle they are now seeing. One well liked tweet saying they had never seen someone anticipate so well on D and that it was all due to Spoelstra helping him unlock this skill, as if Kyle hasn't led the league in charges and been a major plus defender for half a decade now.

If the takes weren't so ignorant and cringe worthy, these types of responses wouldn't be happening.

On a similar vein, as if Kyle wasn't a monster in Toronto at pushing the pace...

This is exactly it. The US media called Lowry a bum for years and now that he is in Miami he is all of a sudden much better.

Same thing is happening with Derozan and the Bulls. There is nothing he is doing now with Bulls that he didnt do for damn near 10 years in Toronto yet you wouldnt know this by listening to the media

Another "Put some Respek on Raptors" thread. Cringe level: 9. Not as bad as the OG Anunoby "NBA classic" thread, but still.

Chill, Raptors fans. Everybody repeks your franchise.... but some Raptor fans are undoing all that good work.

Winning basketball in a system. A system where his offense isn't needed every night, nor is he required to play make every trip down the floor. He's also 35, still carrying half of his body weight in cake. So I can definitely see and understand why his numbers aren't looking so hot, but take a look at the record.

It’s pretty stupid and lacking in conversational substance.

The irony is that Kyle doesn't really practice and is likely telling Spoelstra how the team needs to run.

nobody else does this on these forums. Raps fans gotta stop being so trash.


Our fans aren't different than any others. There's just more of us here and with that come more trolls and idiots.

Ok the people have spoken and the majority of the Raps/Lowry fans seem dismayed and cringed out by this. OP perhaps keep this in mind when the trolling urge hits you next time.
