HISTORICALLY bad? He averaged like 6 points a game for YEARS before getting a starting job in Houston thanks to Brooks' injury. This year is arguably Lowry's best year in his career. He did underperform at times in the playoff relative to the regular season but he is still the key factor of Raptors' last two wins against the Cavs. I consider him an overachiever.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Kyle Lowry’s 35.7% FG shooting this postseason is the worst in the last 50 postseasons (min. 200 shots). Cavaliers-Raptors, 8:30 ET, ESPN</p>— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNStatsInfo/status/734137458590261250">May 21, 2016</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> I said in the playoffs, can you even read and what kind of argument is that? Kyle Lowry was an All-star this year and considered one of the best PGs in the league. He should be held to that standard, not what he was years ago. Harden was a bench player in OKC, should we give Harden a pass too and never criticize him because he has 'come a long way?' Lowry isn't playing like an All-star right now and his shooting has been literally HISTORICALLY BAD. Like the worst of all time. You can't say he led the team to ECF when it's been that bad, and Toronto fans wanting to trade him away during the playoffs.
Lowry and Derozan goes crazy in elimination games but becomes worse than d-league in games like these oh well they won 2 game sevens so I can't say shet. They fight when they have to, although against worse competition. Our team doesn't even put up an effort ever
Just like Westbrook is showing the world who's the real MVP, Irving is proving to everyone that he's the best point guard in the EC.
I feel bad for Kyle. As a former Rocket, like Luis (Viva Scola!!), I want to see him do well, as long as it isn't against us. Hey, it's still only one game. At least this last game was only one game.
That is saying so much. Sadly, I do not even know if that's true. I suppose Lowry, Teague and Wall are the only others in the conversation and I could argue Lowry and Wall are better players to build a team around.
Crazy blowouts happening, in this case expected. Toronto better learn that DeRozan is not worth the max and they keep their eyes open to get an upgrade at other spots first and or a wing who is not a chucker. Lowry and DeRozan are too much alike in that sense, but regardless of that shooting percentage, Kyle's been okay. They at least won twice and they force another game 7.
bad shooting sure, but historically bad shooting? Kyle Lowry 2016 playoffs - FG% .390 3pt% .286 James Harden 09 playoffs - FG% .380 3pt% 375 12-13 playoffs - FG% .391 3pt% 341 13-14 playoffs - FG% .376 3pt% 296 15-16 playoffs - FG% .410 3pt% 310
Bismack keeps smiling: "he loves the game" Dwight keeps smiling: "he doesn't take anything serious, doesn't want it bad enough"
