Who did he really stop though? Jason Kidd? Maybe Tony Parker? When put against dangerous younger PGs like Paul, Williams or Rose, at best he slowed them down more then Brooks would have but Lowry was never elite. I love Morey but he hypes up people, remember all the love he was showing to Ariza early on or more recently Lee and Miller?
What's wrong with Kyle Lowry? What's wrong with half this team? Bud isn't making open shots, Hill losing the ball all the time, Rick making weird rotations late in a tight game, etc etc. Only people playing somewhat well are Scola Martin and Ish.
Injuries and the guy got paid. This was an issue in Memphis where Lowry didn't seem to give a crap and played mediocre night in and night out, which prompted them to trade him to us.
All those pol who r saying lowry has downgraded his level of play cus he just signed a fat contract r so wrong. The man is coming off a multitude of injuries over the summer and is still struggling with back spasms. Anyone who's ever has played bball with back problems will know what I'm talkin about when I say it hurts like a crazy a$$ b!?&@ to Do so. This is why lowry has lost his explosiveness and has started settling for jumpers
Well, the thing is that he's always been fat. Of course he couldn't keep that style of play up. I hope that he doesn't try to change his game by trying to emulate Brooks, because Brooks is by far the better player. I really hope that this team keeps Brooks and lets Lowry go. Brooks is the one that should have gotten paid this summer.
He got fat,big boned,thick, or whatever u want to call it. The extra weight has spurned the back injury and his quickness. The contract and lack of ability to start is probably bothering him also.
Lowry is elite at two things... getting to the foul line and drawing charges. Both of those things require contact and timing neither of witch he has right now for what ever reason. We lost to the wizards and right now we are a patch work team again. Yao might be out again, no 0 hero, KL7 is hurt, Chase is shooting like well I do, all of these things will correct over the course of the season. Sit down, grab hold, and enjoy the ride..... it is going to be bumpy. BLEED RED Rockets RED Fierguard
So wrong? And yet it happens with so many athletes what makes him any different? If it hurts too much to play get off the court. Let's be real here we've all over hyped him, he's a bigger pg that lacks explosiveness and can't hit an open jumper. He's not worth the money, he'll never be capable of being a starter, and we should've let the Cavs have him.
Put his ass on some diet pills and make him hit the gym. I mean how hard is it to make 6 mil and not have access to a gym and a trainer.
What was all that crap about him being the first one in the gym every morning? Was there a breakfast buffet or something? Geez I can do what he's doing now, play 15-20 min, brick a few shots, get a few fouls and call it a night.

Man, tough to watch all of our prior PGs doing well for their respective teams - Dragic, Lowry, and Lin (he's out now) - but Lowry was never the best shooter. He actually might fit in nice next to Harden now.
