  • It's not Fair to LOWRY!

    People are going to be going for Lowry's head for playing "Hero Ball" after this game. Well im going to come to his defense. How many more times are the starters going to put him in that situation? This is like the third straight time that the starters have either blown a lead or just gotten blown out in the third. They than put Lowry in the position where he has to save the day. Calderon comes out and lays a goose egg than Lowry comes in and get us back in the game. He than has to play the rest of the game without a break. It's not fair to Lowry. Can we just knock the BS off and just START HIM! We gave up a lottery pick for a starter! Not a reserve. If he needs to learn to play with the starters than just let him learn. The season is already lost. What else do we have to lose?

    There im done venting!

    I totally, totally agree with you. I think we need to trade Jose, more than Bargnani and anybody else.

      Our point guards dont compliment each other because the style of play is vastly different you cant go from limited personel playing up tempo with Lowry to slow down hold the ball for jumpers with Calderon.

      Start Lowry I've been saying it for a while if we want to stand a chance against the better teams in the league Lowry has to play the majority of the minutes. Stop insulting the guy and let him start.

        In the second half, the Raps went up by 19 with Jose on the court... they started playing poorly and Jose got pulled for Lowry with 7:30 left in the 3rd and they were STILL UP BY 9. So, the momentum was shifting but Lowry was not called on to do any hero ball.
        I feel bad for Jose, not Lowry. Imagine playing the way your are, all-star level, and getting subbed out with 7:30 left in the 3rd and not being brought back until 10 seconds left. I don't think Lowry is the issue; however, if not anything else he is bad luck. When he plays a major part of the 4th, our record has to be atrocious (not saying it isn't overall as well).

          I would like to see Lowry, and Anderson start.

            If he wouldn't be blowing leads with his play to start the 3rd he wouldn't be pulled out. Casey said the PG that plays the best will get the majority of the minutes.

              It would be a pretty upsetting if Lowry didn't re-sign

                  At least acknowledge you were completely wrong about the gameflow, it takes away any credibility.

                    In fairness to both in this game, there was a lot of standing around and settling for jumpers by the wings. Neither PG is going to be incredibly effective if the other 4 guys are standing around like they are waiting for a bus. At least Lowry could make something happen one on one, but when other guys are failing to execute (not cutting, not setting screens), that's all there is.

                    On a few of the "hero ball" possessions, I didn't see the rest of the team doing much either. That's going to screw up both JC's or KL's play. I don't think the problem in this game was the PG situation.

                      Casey blew the lead with his bulshit coaching decisions. Take out the hot hands.

                          Is this real life?

                          Lowry came in with a 10 point lead with 7 minutes left in the third and played the rest of the way home. Down the stretch he was playing terrible defence, getting abused by Holiday, taking a bunch of bad shots and turning the ball over... but it was all because he didn't get to start the second half?

                            In fairness, Jose was also getting abused by Holiday, because Holiday is actually pretty good.

                            PG is not why the Raptors lost this game; in the first half, Holiday was also playing well, but the Raptors had a big lead. Look at the passive play of the wings and the standing around / settling for long jumpers in the second half. A lot of the turnovers forced in the 2nd had more to do with the 76ers defense and the stagnant offense than just the PG for the Raps. That goes for both Jose and Lowry; you can't make a good pass against pressure when nobody is moving to provide you a target, for example.
