    Lowry & McHale had their problems but to their credit it never snowballed into a crisis nor was Lowry's performance affected IMO.

    So Lowry was right.

    A Lin for Lowry trade would be amazing. Unfortunately, not even a GM as bad as Colangelo would accept that trade.

    True, but that might just mean Lin will be a non factor, which isn't good for the team.

    Lowry will drop 30pts on us but with Lin 10/10/10, we will win by 3pts.
    This outcome will satisfy the Lowry and Lin fans, as well as Rockets'.

    I love Lowry as a solid starter, but people here are making him an all-star. He never played at that level for more than half a season, yea he hustles, plays good D... That's about it. He's still an average shooter and is basically an above average talent in the NBA.

    If Toronto wanted Lin for their international kaleidoscope of a team I'd gladly take Lowry back.

    I remember he always played great against Memphis. I hope he doesn't do as well against us tomorrow.

    Kyle Lowry was always my favorite. I will always be rooting for that guy.

    To think if it weren't for the veto, we could of had Lowry, Gasol, AND Lin.

    I hate to say it but Lin is in for it. Kyle is gonna be very physical and aggresive with him. Kyle is a great on the ball defender and there aren't many point guards who can match his physical play.

    Works out great becuase Lin hates having the ball in his hands lately; passes it as soon as he sees a defender in the paint. Hardin will feast on the soft as charmin Raptors Front court.

    Because of #Linsanity Lin is ALWAYS "in for it" every night.

    Lin is a gamer and always up for a challenge. He'll play Lowry hard and whether that's good enough, we'll see tomorrow. But I think it'll be a pretty even match up tomorrow.

    Yup Kyle is a great PG & very few PG's can match him in a battle. Lin will be all the better for it in my opinion. It will be interesting to see how he handles the pressure. I wouldn't be surprised if he handles it well also wouldn't be surprised if he struggles.
