    This is why we matched the offer this off-season. This team is a different animal when Lowry is playing like this....like his normal self.

    We are a completely different team when Lowry is on his "A" game. We get blown out without him.

    He affects the game in so many ways. He creates a lot of extra possessions with his ability to cause turnovers and grab offensive boards.

    Plus, he's smart! He kept feeding Brad Miller. Brad, keep shooting next time!

    Yeah, tonight was MUCH better. Last game he played like Bonzi Wells after hitting a few pizza buffets. I'm glad he's back to his old self. Hopefully it stays that way.

    Sure Lowry isn't a good shooter but he's plays fantastic defense and is an incredibly energy player, he never slacks off. Watch him on defense, he's practically mugging ppl.

    Kyle played great tonight, I think he probably goes into the starting role now with Ish backing him up.

    Good game, the Rox needed that.

    Lowry was possessed tonight on offense and defense. This was the first game where a PG didn't light us up!

    Defense was totally amazing; so disruptive defensively. Totally got under McRobert's skin.

    He was everywhere.

    13 points
    7 assists
    6 rebounds
    2 steals 2 blocks

    A nice stat line if you weren't watching the game. If you were, you'd know that he flat out dominated the game and willed the team to a win. I swear at times it seemed like he was guarding 3 Pacers. So disruptive. The Indiana announcers were practically gushing over him. This is the Kyle Lowry that we all know, that I had/have hopes of taking over that starting PG spot(for good).

    His last few games were starting to make me think I was crazy for thinking that.(probably due to injury) Morey even mentioned on radio that they have really never seen him play like this before.

    Glad to have the old Lowry back.

    I wish he would quit taking the ill-advised 3 point shots and taking the last shot of the quarter, this is not his game. He should not be the go to guy at the end. Maybe have him penetrate then a pass out to Kevin or Scola to end quarter or game.

    Agree with the first sentence, but have we really even gotten "blown out" once this season??

    He sees his opportunity at the starting job and he wants it bad. I think he just might take it and Brooks is gonna have to be traded. Ish is doing great so far, very talented.

    We really need lowry's defense with the starting unit and have brooks light the board up off the bench. Imo

    Thank God, I couldn't watch the 2nd half because the internet connection went out, but maybe if I keep not watching, Kyle will keep reverting to normal...
