    Heard from a source that Kyle Lowry is getting an MRI this morning (Memorial Hermann) after last night's game...I didn't see anything from the game to indicate he was hurt. Anybody have any info on this?

    Did he swallow his jumper?

    All kidding aside, I hope he is ok, but he does look a little heavier this year....

    He is a injury prone. I have said it long tim ago. Not sure whether the cavs still want him. The rockets should trade him.

    If he looks heavier it's because he's packed on more muscle. He's been working out like crazy this offseason. Just in case you were trying to implicate he was out of shape or fat.

    Not at all, he looked very quick, just noticed he was bigger, sometimes putting on too much muscle is bad for basketball players.

    What did he do? Did you work together with him? I didn't see any improvement in his game.

    I was wondering what his tweet was about:

    "headed to get something checked out. what's going on this great morning?"

    Lame comments.

    I hope Lowry's OK. He's a crucial part of this team.

    Uh, ok.....I am worried that the extra weight is causing an issue....and not saying he is fat, but he looks bulked up.

    Didn't he have ankle issues last year? Putting on more weight and his style of play could be bad....

    Either way, I agree with you that he is important, and we need him...and agreed that the swallowing his jumper comment was lame......and also funny.

    LOL, Injury prone?

    I guess Budinger, Jeffries, Hill, Miller, Battier are injury prone too. Since you're basing this on player that have gotten injured in the last year.

    I'm just saying, I understand that there is a lot of over-the-top bashing of Brooks (often well beyond what he deserves for his weaknesses) but that seems to have prompted you over time to succumb to that same level of trash-talking.

    One of your good qualities as a poster has been that despite being so controversial and in-your-face, you would keep it relatively civil even in the face of people attacking you or your opinions.

    Well, I will say this if he continues to play like he did last night then there is a big reason he isn't starting and with the salary he gets maybe we should consider trading him. Anyone know when he can be traded? Also it does not appear as though he has worked on his jumper and like DD said (and Kevin Martin shows) basketball is not all about muscle.

    I'm usually the type to overreact to stuff but the conclusions people are drawing from the preseason (and within handfuls of plays within single preseason games) is completely ridiculous.

    Lowry is not only as good as last season (where he was our most impactful player) but he will be better given his age and room for improvement.

    Some of you are reading way too much into his play and the play of others in less than 2 games of relatively meaningless basketball. Nobody will even remember these games in a few weeks.

    I am not worried about Lowry as a player, I am worried about Lowry and Lee not fitting together.

    Lowry needs guys that can catch and shoot and finish as slashers, so far....and it has only been a couple of games, it looks like Lee likes to attack on the bounce...and not on the pass, so he is sort of not fitting with Lowry so much.

    Maybe Lee doesn't get a chance to play that much this year, Lowry passing to Budinger, Brooks and Martin with the 2nd unit makes much more sense IMO...

    If you wanna laugh at your own lame comments, I suggest you go watch one of your videos. There's a barrell of laughs right there. :rolleyes:

    Unfortunately, he has reached his limit. He is not a very talented player, although he may be a hard worker.

    I don't think so. Lee is a very talented player. He started in the nba finals for a reason.
