The 1st two games were against Portland and Sacramento. Those teams are trying to tank games, and they aren't even trying to hide the fact.
I had a feeling once Lowry returned that we would no longer being seeing the Amazing Mr. Dragic. I don't know why but I just had that feeling. Sure enough Dragic started playing really tentative once Lowry came back. I don't blame Lowry. I blame Dragic for getting all our hopes up.
Also I think the biggest issue is we had a set rotation before Lowry. Goran was the star and made the team run and he loved it. Then Lowry back and started messing with his head. Yall shouldnt be wondering if Parsons or Scola have been doing bad. Yall should be wondering where the heck is Goran Dragic?
More like the Bigs haven't been playing to snuff. Scola, PP, Parsons, Bud have been spectators more often. Penetration is too PG based.
Agree. Hard to win games when over half of the opposing teams points are in the paint. I think that looking for a Lowry/Goran connection is a copout to the real reasons of poor play lately.
I'm ready to say yes, now. This team just isn't the Gogi team that looked like play-off team and Gogi doesn't look like Gogi. We have to commit to one point guard to lead the team.
Gogi comes in and runs up the score and then lowry comes in to let the other team back in... same story different night.
Please help me understand something here, check out this very interesting quote from McHale on not playing Kyle the 2nd half: This means in other words, Kyle wasn't getting it done. Why all of a sudden does he realise inserting Lowry the way he did and he wasn't play well before? Is it because now we are probably not going to the playoffs anyway thus sort of acknowledging we tanked cause he left in a player despite is poor performance? We have another PG signed you know!? He was doing fine and the rotation was set. What it makes it more interesting is that he's not using Martin, all of a sudden very cautious about inserting a player back into the line-up. . What rhytm is he talking about, we are playing like ****, we had rhytm when Kyle came back, that's when we had a rhythm! Beating LA & Chicago with confidence and rotation set. Right now, we don't have anything and this is the time McHale chooses to say he won't use a player because the team is working well together???? If somebody understands it, please explain and enlighten me because to me this is all very suspicious.
This is a unfair and incorrect statement. Dragic's costly mistakes at the end of games have nothing to do with Lowry. Both of'em want to be starters, but blaming Lowry for Dragic's turnovers and erratic play is ridiculous
that's just the way it was since his return, sorry if it hurts you, I like Lowry, can't expect Dragič to lead the team or be perfect out there too...
Because Dragic is white, right? And Lowry cannot be figured out because he is black right? Your agenda is not only transparent but really grating.
Dragic picked his dribble up too much -turned ball over too much -made bad passes during 6 GM losing streak -did not get to the hoop as well, also picking ball up too often with nowhere to go -Lowry was out of shape, had lost 15 pounds, and was expected to just add depth to The pg position Dragic is a great player, but we have decison(s) to make now
Lowry is an emotional player, he probably feels jilted by losing his starting spot while injured and when an emotional player feels slighted they sometimes rebel a bit. That is what it looks like to me. DD
