Memphis has lost to the Spurs, Cavs, Bulls and Clippers since JV joined. Wether JV could put up numbers was never a question, the question was always if a team could win consistently playing that old school, half court style of basketball which JV thrives in.
Hopefully Memphis can start a streak of wins after beating the Lakers.

Lowry is the last person to blame considering he actually does make plays for his teammates.

How many times did we watch JV go off for 10-12 in the first quarter or 15 in the half and then basically sit or be ignored the rest of the game by Lowry/DD and Casey?
All the friggin' time.....

It's actually not that hard to make a PG look great, as long as the coach is on board with it. Ramp Jackson's usage back up to 30% and he's close to a 19-20pt, 8-9ast, fringe all-star.

Memphis is a trash team. JV is one of the only reasons they've been in some of these games.
He also doesn't kill your pace. You need options in the halfcourt, because you can't play uptempo all the time, especially if you lack the playmakers and shooters to do it. Not every team needs to try to be a Warriors clone, and even they went after a big slow guy to try and plug their most glaring hole. And frankly, our best players don't really excel in the open court, except for Siakam.
Basically, do you think we would have lost more games if we had invested more in JV? I would find it hard to buy that argument. We played slow anyway because DeMar was also more of a halfcourt player. We just did so while making JV and his development an afterthought. Also as the playoffs have repeatedly shown, you need guys who can manufacture points when things get slow and chippy.
