I hate that “make 1 shot and we win” comment directed towards Kyle. You can say the same for every player, he wasn’t the only one that missed open shots, Danny missed a few early on, Pascal was 0/4 from 3, Gasol missed a few and so on. Kyle is only getting blamed because he had 0 points. You could say he should have been more aggressive, try to get some layups, but if you’re blaming the loss on him for not making open shots, you have blame the rest who missed some as well.

Which brings me back to my point - would people prefer he forced more and worse shots to ensure he made it onto the scoreboard? Players can't control when they miss shots, or no one would ever miss shots.
I'm pro Lowry but c'mon guys. This isnt little league. When an all star gets 0 points, hes gonna take the blame.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

No. What people want to see is for him to make open shots. That's all. Most of his shots the other night were wide open.
Getting mad because a player took good shots and made good decisions, but they missed, is the sports fan version of a toddler throwing a tantrum.

WTF kind of logic is this? Steph Curry does have more control over this 3-pt shot than Ben Simmons. It's called skill, or talent. And Kyle Lowry normally has a ton of it, except when he gets the yips in big games. That said, even if your shot isn't falling that's no excuse to simultaneously get roasted by DJ Augustin. Lowry has been known to win games in other ways (take charges, steals, bulldog defense in the past,...).... he's all about doing whatever it takes to win, right?
People can be mad about Lowry's defence all they like (they'd be more right than about his scoring, though still pretty dumb if they peg the loss on his defence). Not seeing that get the traction that the easier scoring narrative is getting of course.

So, are said people under the impression that players can simply decide when to make their open shots? Are said people unaware of the reality that NBA players make like half their wide open shots at best? Or unfamiliar with the concept of variance?

As for the bolded part, don't you find it bizaare how Lowry always shoots like shit in the playoffs? don't answer that. I know you're going to find an excuse, this is a Raptors forum after all and you're as homer as they come. And there' nothing wrong with that.
If you can defend a ZERO point game from an "all star", 30 million a year player, in 34 mins mind you, you're going to find a way to make excuses about everything Kyle Lowry, no matter how bad he plays.Mamba Mentality

Again--there's a very reasonable middle ground here. I think Lowry will play well and I'm not suggesting he should be benched or traded. I acknowledge the positives he brings to the table even when he shoots poorly. But it's fair for him to get called out on zero point games in the playoffs when they lose to a lower ranked team. I can't think of any NBA all star that wouldn't catch shade for putting up zero points in a playoff loss.

I said it YEARS ago, and i'm going to say it again: Kyle Lowry is a perennial playoff choker. All you really need to do is watch the games. It's not a lazy narrative. Sadly that's going to be his legacy here.
