    ..... Say all you want about Starbury
    what I give him credit for working his arse in China and adapting very well.

    6.7 and 2.2 steals are not stellar numbers.

    Maybe we should bring him back to the NBA. Better than Flynn, I bet.

    You're missing the point, Brooks can play in the NBA and Starbury can't. His overall game, quickness and ability to create his shot translate. Now, whether he scores 40 or 20 in the CBA it's almost as irrelevant as your posts. I was more focused on his shooting %.

    I am not sure about Marbury.... Guy seems to be humbled.... but that is the effect of the Middle Kingdom. He can still play as a role player......but I don't know if he has the drive to play in the NBA again.

    I don't know, CH. Marbury has head tattoo, which makes me question his decision-making ability on and off the court...

    The step to become a great player is to get jinx resistant.

    I don't care if he misses, I just want his confidence back.

    I want him to take that open shot without hesitating.

    Maybe the challenge of facing Rubio again will help, they both shot pretty poorly against each other last time but Lowry did everything else well.

    Well so much for that.....still hesititating, and refs not falling for his flops lately.

    Now he is criticizing the coaches in the media for not making adjustments.

    Something is up with Kyle...

    I'd take 20/5 at 50% shooting over 14.5/8 at under 40% everyday of the week.

    U guys are crazy comparing a players stats in china vs the nba..... Lowry will be ok, i bet he has a big game against San Antonio Tom and gets it going again. he hadn't played his best ball the past 5 games but we are still finding ways to win for the most part. He's clearly tired and frustrated by the easy looks some of these guys are missing I was at the game last night and can tell u I saw atleast 6 assist Lowry would have had if his teammates would have hit just the easy baskets I'm taking lay ups(parsons) and easy wide open 15 foot jumpers (scola) If I was Lowry I would be upset to an I'm glad he is cause all good players would be mad these are shots scola was making at the begining of the year I dnt know what had happen but if scola can get his shot back Lowry will be back to 9 10 assists a game

    With crappy defense and rebounding instead of elite defense and rebounding.

    Lowry needs to be shut down for a game or 2.


    I don't care how tough they are, 13 games in 20 days is an astounding number. Especially when you play his all out style.


    Dude is clearly tired. Coaches have to force him to sit.

    Obviously Lowry's D isn't elite, no reason to go into that. Rebounding though? Really? So because the Rockets don't have the bigs to get those rebounds leaving them open for players like Lowry to get, that translates into him having a higher skill set? If Orlando doesn't have Howard and Anderson, Redick would be out there getting 6+ a game. Guards getting rebounds is not good for a team, it actually shows the team is lacking, sorely.

    Rockets are a great rebounding team, 3rd best reb diff in the NBA.

    Parsons, Scola, and Dalembert are all plus rebounders. Scolas numbers are the ones hurting because of all the great rebounders.


    And his D is elite normally, but he has tired legs right now.
