BTW, I was not saying Lowry is selfish or sth like this. It's just his style won't fit this fast-paced team anymore. If Lowry and Harden is our starting backcourt, we probably need two basketballs in the game.
People are just in denial that Morey is making all those people eat crow. You got to admit, Morey is soooo good.
Agreed. Just like what I said in another post: Lin is a hidden dragon in Morey's pants. :grin: I have been a Morey fan always.
At this point I start to agree that Lin might be a better fit for this system. Lowry is not as good in the open court, we wouldnt be this good in the run&gun games. He's not a good spot up shooter either. Dragic is just weak at D.
Yup. Morey made me eat some crow too. I thought Lin was a great grab. Harden was great. I thought Asik was dumb. I was like, why? Now I see why. Made me eat crow. You should see Lacob, Warriors owner, totally making warriors fans eat crow. If you don't know, Lacob got booed in the court by warriors fans for trading away Monte Ellis. I never thought Ellis was any good, but look at the Warriors now. They're ahead of us, and they are oh so much better than with Ellis, the fancy smancy, ball hog. Lacob made Warriors fans eat so much crow, and Morey is making those bitter Dragic and Lowry fans eat crow.
Yes, it is. And I'm asking because I remember when we were trying to get Dwight Howard people were saying how having Lin on this team would attract Howard because he would get exposure to the China market. I have no idea whether Harden took "exposure" into consideration when he signed the extension.
Apparently Calderon is better in the locker room and has better chemistry with his teammates and his coaches. The intangibles. And I think he has a better personality too.
What? You don't believe? I used to be a YOF b4 2004 though...but after his retirement I never quit watching the Rockets. Carl, Chuck, Luis Scola and K.Lowry were all my favourites. And even Goran, I would say I like his game when he is a Rocket.
last I checked the raptors have a better w-l record with calderon as the main pg?? give credit where it's due.
Wow, this thread went into the crapper quickly. I think right now, the only clear conclusion I've drawn is that the Rockets coaching staff is really good. Dragic is having a down year. Lowry is being contentious in Toronto to the point where his teammates are speaking out against him. And Lin's only problem here is that he can't make a jumpshot to save his life. If he can even make it at the rate of his Knicks days last year, he'd be putting up above average PG numbers.
I like Lowry, but I do think Lin is better for this system. We all know Lowry wants to be the man on the team. I don't think he would have taken to being a 2nd option as easily as Lin did. That's why I'm wondering how much longer he'll take coming off the bench backing up Calderon. And no, I'm not saying Lin is a better player than Lowry.
I felt sad for Lowry. Lowry is definitely a better PG than Calderon. But Calderon knows his teammates well and he has a much better chemistry with between him and his teammates. But I'm sure Lowry will be fine. Growing pain for him and his Raptors.
Lol Lowry going to be traded again... All those Lowry fans.. 1) Lowry could not fit in with 2 clubs now 2) is backup to Jose
yeah not when his hamstring flares up every 2 weeks and refuses to drive and defend because MY assist to turnover ratio. Him and Bargnani are cancer, the sooner they get rid of both of them and start rebuilding with a Valancunas, Lowry, Ross Core the better.
I even know Goran Dragic was playing soccer b4 the age of 12. If I was a LOF I wouldn't care this kind of personal profile. Thanks for the interview by ESPN anyway.
