Go to thread tools, top of page. I think it is a combination of injury, mental fatigue more than physical & the battery case.
i would say extremely tired(overused), distracted(abuse charge), injury issues with foot(his injury), and exhaustion/fatigue(shortened season with massive minutes)... i was personnally wondering why he wasnt barely used in the fourth quarter(if at all..?) and i definatly question mchales coaching decisions(scola and patterson at the five??? [really...???]...???) but its worth a lost to rest some players (and hopefully let lowry catch up...)... but its completly obvious we need to upgrade(especially our post) k.love and (a supposeded over-rated headcase( in beasley[who i still think will progress] straight murdered us...
nobody knows the answer why are you guys guessing? even if we ask him he might not tell the truth maybe hes been eating 2 much pizza lately??
What's up with Kyle is real simple. He's not being treated like the leader he is and has been for this team. McHale is cutting the ties. They're going to trade him.
If this is a joke, jopatmc, it's not a very good one. Having said that, please tell me you're kidding!
He's faced a run of some pretty named point guards and I think that got into his head a little trying too hard to one up them.
He has been saying that in the game thread... I don't think it is happening, but with Morey, would you honesty be surprised if it did? DD
No, I'm not kidding. I wished I felt differently. Don't know anything. Just know what my gut says. I just hope we get a superstar for him and whatever else we trade away.
The motion created by adelmans offense created creases. With the stagnation and lack of motion, kyle is forced to beat a guy off the bounce straight up off the bounce which he cant do. Now defenses are playing him for 3's vs duality. He's struggling from the field,he's tired, and when a limited,hustle guys doesn't play at full throttle, its looks bad. Thats what I see.
What was happening in the first 3 weeks of the season? Was he just fresher, more confident with the jumper, and taking advantage of less-prepared defenses?
How about falling back down to earth? I love me some Lowry but you guys didn't really think he was going to keep up his early season production for the whole season did you?
I missed that (watching the game). No, nothing Morey might do would surprise me, not after hiring McHale. OK. I guess we'll see how good your gut is. ;-)-
This is all spot on. He has been forced to do too much for too long. They got rid of the coach that developed him. They got rid of the other two mainstays that held the team together (Shane and Chuck). And now they're throwing his minutes to Goran. And the new coach is throwing him in the pile with the rest of the players and treating him just like another player instead of the best player on the team. A player would have to be totally stupid not to pick up on that stuff. These guys are pros. They can feel stuff like that. This reaks of a trade brewing. I'm not trying to start rumors. I'm just stating what I feel is going to happen. I think Lowry and Scola are being traded.
TIRED. Done. Over. The dude was playing 39+ 2 out of 3 games to start this season, which is already brutal schedule wise. Give the Dragon half of Kyle's minutes until he is fully rested.
Of course freshness counts early in the season. Durvasa, maybe you can pull up his ft atts for the last 8 games or so. Its kinda like the crunkness of the early season and teams trying to adjust. Without looking, i bet his usage is higher than normal. Right now, he cant get any easy baskets and no one on the team other than dragic can create one. Really, dragic is the only guy who can get to the rim right now. Lowry cant get by anyone right now even if he paid them so he settles for 3's or jump shots. He's lost confidence and has allowed it to creep into the rest of his game. If he doesn't snap out og it, we will see a brooks/lowry situation with lowry and dragic.
