    Narrative is already written after his late-night post game shoot around vs the Pacers.

    "He just cares too much"

    If he wasn't going to get back in the game, why is it a big deal? He wanted a few minutes alone to mentally compose himself.

    It's better than him playing like **** and just not caring.

    Meh. This is a non-story. Don't blow it out of proportion.

    Besides, almost nobody cares about Lowry or the Raptors. They'll be eliminated after game 4.

    Daryl Morey on if Rockets players decompress, "we do that on the court, taking three to five minutes off while your on the court just makes more sense. It's statistically more efficient."

    Haha Lowry haters reaching so hard to make this a story. First they said he wouldn't make it to the ECF. Now they are mad because he's human. Whether he spent 100 seconds on the pine or in the locker room makes no difference. It's not like he never came back into the game. Save it. This team has overachieved because of Lowry.

    Because Dwight Howard is the devil. More fun to poke at him.

    Dwight Howard is smarter than Lowry. Dwight decompresses while playing on the court. No need to go to the locker room to arouse suspicion.

    It's literally a story, lol. All day yesterday all news outlets were talking about it. He looks weak doing that, like he went back there to cry. I don't hate Lowry I wish we still had him but it didn't look good. If they were winning I think it wouldn't be the same story (It would be more positive) but since they got their asses kicked badly it looked like a panic attack.

    I don't think enough fans or media nationally care about Kyle Lowry to be upset. Not high enough profile a player to carry the news for long for doing well or messing up.

    Can we assume that he wasn't going back in though? didn't Cleveland go on a large run during that stretch? Do they not bring him back in to help stop it, if he's on the bench?


    I'm not sure if other players said anything, but JJ Redick said there wasn't a good reason for him to do that, and they're actually friends, so that's saying something. He could have easily covered for him.

    Why? He makes like half of a max contract. Well worth the money, and then some.
