Nice article

Kevin Martin on what he thinks about the fans who believe the Rockets would be better off not making the playoffs:

“I’m glad they’re not part of the 15 guys suiting up trying to win games. If they were in our position they wouldn’t feel that way. We have talent around here. Like most of this franchise, I came here to play with Yao, but unfortunately that didn’t happen. What can you do? We’re just going to go out there and play as hard as we can and we’ll see what happens.”

Basically, Lowry can manage the floor better than AB any day...

great article thanks for posting. i was a big AB fan, still am, but lowry does seem to be the natural point guard. I think the two pg system from last season was fine, but lowry has definitely stepped up as a leader.

I have been definitely impressed with Kyle's ability to both manage the game from a point guard standpoint and to take over offensively when needed. He's truly improved his jump shot and has shouldered an offensive mentality in terms of looking for his own shot. That confidence he has now in his offensive capabilities has turned him into a nightly threat that teams have to begin to gameplan for. I had no idea he could do some of things he's been doing since Aaron was traded--for one, his ability to create his own shot and hit them at a decent rate is remarkable.

yep, lowry has better court vision and now is showing promise offensively. He's more efficient than AB.

Let's just hope he doesn't get the MIP this season then regress to oblivion like Brooks.

What a steal, I do mean what a steal! We traded Rafer Alston for this guy, and at the time everybody was thinking 'WTF was Morey doing? Trading our starting PG for the last 2 years for this backup nobody has heard of?' Now look at him

You gotta to think Memphis is really really kicking themselves for trading away Lowry now. Hopefully Morey can get over on them with Thabeet as well. The Grizzlies current front office has got to be one of the worst in the league.
