Lowry played like his old self tonignt and still way off from being back to 100%. He looked very tired at the end of the game, get some good sleep and finish this road trip on the winning side.
Thank goodness Kyle is back! When Kyle plays with that hustle and effort, or as Matt Bullard would say, "huffort" the team takes on that identity. Maybe we could be starting to develop our identity...
Good. Just please, please, please don't get hurt again. Every time he goes to the ground, I hold my breath. Needless to say, I'm out of breath a lot.
I doubt it would happen but I'd like to see Lowry as starting PG while Brooks is out. It would be a good opportunity to see how Lowry and Martin mesh. Lowry's a great sparkplug off the bench, but the team may be better served by having more balance in the backcourt, by playing Lowry with Martin and Brooks with Lee. Or at least I'd like to see if it is the case.
Can you name two point guards in the NBA who are definitely better defenders than Kyle Lowry??? I can't. Rondo and Paul are very good defenders. But I would not say they are definitely better than Lowry. Lowry is one of the best pick and roll defenders in the NBA........at any position. He totally disrupts the opponent's perimeter game.
If he can play like this, there is no doubt that he will take over the starting position, you put an elite defender in the starting lineup and bring offense off the bench, not the other way around.
I'd give Rondo the nod just for his freakish length. Also, I think once John Wall gets better acclimated to the NBA he has the potential to join that discussion. He has great size and I've never seen quicker hands. But yeah, Lowry is a truly elite defender. God, I've missed him.
I am glad to see the old Lowry back; his perimeter defense in the 4th quarter was OUTSTANDING. As always, he won't ever be able to shoot the ball as well as Brooks, but he does so many other things well that he is able to be a difference maker.
I see all the Lowry love! but wheres the love for the man who we least expected to step up Brad Miller!
Great game by Lowry. My only problem with his playing style is that he could get injured easily. He gets in the mix with the bigs in just about every play, and tonight he got hit several times in the head prompting coach Chaney to comment at the post game show that Lowry may need a helmet by the way he is playing. I really hope he stays healthy because he really made a big difference with Miller tonight.
He was an animal tonight and I know that I said that he just looks elite at eating. Though he beasted tonight and his presence was undeniable, I still think that he needs to get in better shape or he's not going to have much longer playing like this.
Yea, that's the same knock that Kmart, TJ Ford, and even Wade get. Very good, but when you barrel down the court at full speed and end up on the ground as often as they do, the odds of you staying healthy aren't awesome.

Lowry was huge tonight. The guy is a pitbull. Im liking the Kyle Lowry that doesn't take the ill advised threes and being agressive.
