3 games in Houston = 4.55 minutes per foul 92 games in Memphis = 10.84 minutes per foul Which one do you think is more significant? /thread
This is pure vacuous, thick-skinned, irrevelant hating. No rookies with less than 1,000 posts deserve a place on my sig.
obviously you havent watched the games. if i wasnt at work right now i could break it down to you. i watched the mavericks game twice. one foul came from preventing a fastbreak layup. another foul and turnover came from an offensive foul (that wasnt an offensive foul as his defender was moving with him)
do you watch the games? first of all, all he has had thus far is a walk through, he doesn't know any of our plays, and he doesn't know our defensive techniques, some of those fouls came from fast breaks where he was out numbered and he had to foul hard, he at least doesn't get destroyed like aaron does
Agreed Plus we there is no drop off in speed as far as pushing the ball when we go to the 2nd unit. Lowery is a definite upgrade on defense compared to Rafer & AB. He will get up in other PG's faces. Fouls be damned.
also in box scores "good fouls" wont show up....like stopping a fast break and making them earn it at the line... no he hasnt been perfect, but he has been anything but horrible so far.
Rafer is gone, get over it. Lowry proved you wrong last night by the way. Move on. Your guy Rafer ain't coming back.
Can these people just stop posting negative opionions? This guy just play 3 games for our team, I think you better go to see your doctor for your mental problem.
TheRealist is an obsessed Rafer fan. He is basically hoping that our PGs fail so that it makes Alston look good. A Rocket fan wouldn't want that to happen. By the way, people whining about Lowry and claiming "I've seen Lowry and he has no potential" (because I guess they're great scouts and judges of talent), here's something to consider. You people saying that Lowry doesn't have potential and that Alston is great, this is Lowry's 3rd year in the league. And here are stats of Rafer Alston's 3rd year in the league: Lowry: 7.3 ppg, 3.6 apg, 41% from the field, 24% from 3pt range, 81% from the line in 22 minutes of action. Alston: 3.5 ppg, 2.9 apg, 35% from the field, 38% from 3pt range, 62% from the line, 12 mpg Now, if you want to judge better, since Alston didn't play a ton of minutes here is Alston's 4th year in the league at 21 mpg, basically the same as Lowry right now: Alston's 4th year: 7.8 ppg, 4.1 apg, 42% from the field, 38%, 69% from the line. Roughly the same stats. Alston is a much better 3pt shooter, Lowry was a better FT shooter. Both only turned the ball over twice per game. I guess those people saw that Alston was going to be a "stud". Though, I still have a hard time calling a PG who is averaging 11 ppg and 5 apg a stud. Especially since that is, roughly his career average after 9 years of basketball. That is also another interesting thing. Alston, after 9 years of basketball, his career average: 10 ppg, 5 apg, Lowry's career average: 8 ppg, 4 apg Yet there are people on here, who saw both play, who claim that Lowry has no upside and that Alston is a great.
Then why dont you say that he reduced his fouls In Portland game? Lock the thread pls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
