That's a Fat Lever stat line tonight if ever I saw one.......in 27 minutes. He should be the undisputed leader of this team for a long time ....and barring injury, will see a few All Star games.
I have liked Bud all along, he's one of my favorites. I just think he's a major p***y who has confidence issues, and he has no future in the NBA and will be kicked off the team soon because of how big of a wuss he is on the court. He's practically useless out there. But yeah I always say I like Bud.
I love Lowry and think he is all-star level but he is not going to get the recognition to get into it. It's a shame, he should definitely be in as a reserve.
I think there's a chance, but it depend's how many PG's there willing to put on the ALL-STAR roster, and if Lowry continues his current level of play. Top 7 PG's in the WEST - 1. Chris Paul (LAC) 2. Russell Westbrook (OKC) 3. Kyle Lowry (current level of play)(HOU) 4. Stephen Curry (GSW) 5. Tony Parker (SAS) 6. Steve Nash (PHX) 7. Ty Lawson (DEN)
He just missed another triple double. He plays great defense. He can make the all star team if he plays like this for sure. Also it will depend on the team success as well. If Rockets are on pace to make the playoffs at the allstar break, that will defintely put Lowry in as an allstar.
According to Mr. Seal Clubber aye?? Lowry is a sure thing, seriously. Rockets have been snubbed enough..
The problem is that current rules is favorable for guards, and many are putting up big numbers. That said, with Parker and Nash getting older, and DWill playing east now, Lowry has a shot. I certainly hope so if we have any shot at getting Dwight Howard willing to come to Houston through trade.
You want your player to build around? Here he is. I dont ever find myself wondering if Lowry will produce on any given night. The guy is a natural born leader and always plays with a chip on his shoulder. Barring injury Lowry will be regarded as one of the elite pgs in this league at the end of this season.
I hope he does but I think it will be hard for him. 4 spots for guards and Paul, Westbrook, and Kobe are in. Lowry will be fighting for spot with Ellis, Curry, Eric Gordon, Nash, Parker, and Ginobili. The 2 wild card spots will most likely go to forwards cause the west is full of that that deserve to be there.
I miss the and-one's Kyle had when he came off the brench. "JCF: Everybody always talks about the Rockets’ search for an All-Star but one of the things that doesn’t get brought up as much – even though you mention it quite often – is the possibility of someone on the current roster ascending to All-Star status. The guy I always look to in that regard is Kyle Lowry, especially based on what he did the last couple months of last season. We got a great glimpse of that as well in the Orlando game. I know this is the golden age of point guards, but do you think Kyle is an All Star caliber point guard right this second? DM: I absolutely agree with your assessment that people don’t talk enough about the ability of the players on our roster to reach that All-Star level or to at least take big steps forward. But I would say Kyle needs to get one more notch higher – and every notch gets harder, right? – but I absolutely think he has that ability. It is a very loaded position at the point guard spot in the league right now. We don’t even necessarily need him to make the All-Star game; we just need him to take one more step forward and I think he can do that. I think Kevin Martin, with focus on defense, is another guy who could move up into All-Star caliber territory. Obviously among the young players I think Terrence Williams has a chance to take a big step forward; Chase has a chance to take a big step forward; Patrick Patterson and Jordan Hill can take a big step forward – then we might get some contributions from Marcus Morris or Chandler Parsons this season. Up and down the roster we’ve got ways for our team to take a step forward. Now obviously we’ve got to do it and we also could have people go the other way and have bad seasons. But if we can get solid play from a lot of guys and then have one or two take a big step forward like Kyle did last year then we’ll be a playoff team. JCF: What is this step that Kyle needs to take? DM: We need him, for all 30 to 35 minutes that he’s going to play per game this year, to play at the level he used to be able to play at during the 15 to 20 minute per game stints he had two years ago. It’s honestly an unrealistic thing to ask a guy to do. But we need someone to do something a little bit unrealistic frankly – that’s our challenge. Kyle’s one of those candidates. If he can play with the unbelievable pace and ability to attack the basket for an entire game similar to the way that he played in 15 to 20 minutes a couple years ago, then he’ll be there – he’ll definitely be playing at an All-Star level then. That’s why, when Kyle was coming off the bench, our bench was the best in the league basically. We were absolutely annihilating people and it was because Kyle was coming in and playing at a level that may not be sustainable. But if he can sustain it, he would definitely be at an All-Star level." Q&A With Daryl Morey: http://www.nba.com/rockets/news/q_with_daryl_morey_december_2011_12_29.html
He played this way last year. This is nothing new. He can be a star in this league. Actually this team has 3 semi stars right now. Scola, Martin, Lowry. If the Rockets can make this team the deepest team in the league it can compete with the big boys. I would rather them make one more push for a upgrade at a position to go with Lowry.
of course he is deserving.. but allstar voting includes everyone around the league. unfortunately our rockets dont get too much primetime coverage so he'll need to try harder than a cp3 or deron williams to get the recognition he deserves. hes already a top 7 pg in the league: rose cp3 williams westbrook curry rondo lowry it will be hard but if he keeps up the production that he has these first two games, he could break the top 5 and he could have his first allstar selection.
