It's funny because it's true. :grin: I'm really excited about how where Lowry will go. He was my favorite Rocket last season and I always thought he was the better all around player between the two point guards - but I never imagined he could play like this.

You mean trade him in 2015? There's a reason Morey's the one whose job it is to predict when a player's stock is going to drop. He failed with Brooks. But man did he succeed by taking on Lowry at the MLE for 4 years.
i think he's avg 20/7/5 for the month. I don't know if he can keep it up...but damn, if he does that's definitely CP/Deron territory.
Pretty sure I'm eating crow right now, I hated on him so much earlier this season cause frankly he was playing pretty badly. He's more than made up for it now though
The player of weeks is good, the player of months is even better, but just not MIP. MIP award seems to be overrated.
My oh my, its magical how winning can help you look a few lbs lighter. He must have tiger blood running through his ice cold veins.
Worst awards in NBA: 1. MIP, it depends way too much on minutes per game. 2. All NBA defensive teams. 80% based on repuation in earlier seasons.
yea they shipped him along with brooks to the suns. in all seriousness i have no idea he was funny with his pro-brooks rants hope he's doin well.
Seriously, he's 20.4 ppg 5.3 rpg 8 apg on: 50% FGs and 46% 3s If the Rockets move past Memphis in March, and Lowry keeps this up, he's legitimate POM candidate.
I was wondering the same, I haven't really heard from him in like a couple months or so. Bud is starting (prior to injury) thought he'd be more visible after that :grin:
