    Thanks for posting that.

    I was fine with Lowry putting up that shot, bu it actually looks like passing to Martin for a quick shot would have been the better option than that or giving Scola the ball in the low block with just seven seconds on the shot clock.

    This is just stupid. It isn't Lowry's fault that ignorant fans make stupid tweets. There may have been things he could have done differently but don't say somebody else's stupid action is Lowry's fault.

    The fault lies with the person who made the tweet. That wasn't Lowry.

    Karthik,

    Big props for standing up.....some people would be too afraid to tweet to a Houston Rockets player.

    While I don't condone sending criticism their way, the fact that Kyle is on Twitter means he knows he has to accept the good and the bad.

    Kyle can take it......

    Man oh man, I see this with my students all the time, even the smart ones. It's one thing for (people like me) to screw up a BBS post, but shouldn't a blogger edit a post just once? I think MS Word is destroying the younger generations, one mind at a time.

    that a professional player to stop. make your time.

    can't wait for AB to get back and continue having late game snafus like dribbling the ball off his foot so people can tweet him about it...

    Kyle should just set his twitter to private to keep the peanut gallery out...

    People will criticize everyone that is what they do.....just like you just did in a thread about Lowry, by taking a shot at Brooks.

    Yep, that is what I did, I brought AB into this, just because I felt like it. Thanks for the recap.

    She is a fickle beast, and one who must be conquered, this hypocrisy, it will take you years of practice grasshopper to reach the level necessary to tame her.

    I wish you well on this quest, and when you can snatch the penny from my hand, you will have arrived.

    So, according to you, slay the beast, become the new beast, and offer cheap door to door sales tricks to entice future pupils, even if they have a no solicitation sign on their doors.

    Gotcha.

    Nay nay, this is why you struggle, you do not knock on the doors of the folks with "no solicitation" signs, you respect their privacy.

    You have much to learn...much to learn.....

    Stunned by my brilliance, I see Grasshopper.......no need to worry, the penny is safe with me.

    Now back to the Lowry tweets......or hating on any other Rockets player of your choosing.

    That was exactly my reaction. #7 needs to grow up. He gains nothing by bringing attention to this. Besides, other than last night and part of the previous game, he has been terrible. Plus he's getting paid now, and that comes with a bullseye attached. I LOVE the Rockets, but I'm not going to defend poor play simply because the player is on our team.
