Not sure why we are still talking about this. Game 1 is old news.
But anyway I don't get how you can blame Lowry for that game 1 loss. He shit the bed scoring wise.. but was not the reason we lost. The guys that need to get all the blame were a) Fred and b) Nurse.
Fred was a -16. Kawhi played only 33 minutes. Kyle only had 34. That's why we lost.
Lowry scoring would have helped. But just like Gasol missing the open corner 3 or Kawhi airballing the final 3.. those would have helped too. But the reason we gave up the huge lead and lost in the end was because of Fred and Nurse.

In my view Lowry will most likely average around 14, which is the average for his career. Siakam is currently averaging 17, and has the ability to creep up to 20, as there's still room to grow there. So in terms of purely putting the ball in the bucket, I think we're looking at Siakam as the second highest scorer on the team. Lowry will have 20+ games here and there, but he will also have games in single digits. Games like these past 2 are outliers on different extremes, and realistically most of his games will come somewhere in between. A lot of it will depend on what the other team is doing too of course (what the defence is giving you)
And tbh, I like that opponents have to guess a bit who they have to pay attention to other then Kawhi. Any of our starters can go off if the opposing D neglects them, and that's a strength. You won't have 5 of them going off at the same time though, even though they're all capable of it. I think Green is due to light up soon.

Orlando did a good job denying him any clean looks but he was still off. Maybe they remembered how he went 5/5 from 3 in our last regular season game.

Ya they have been really working to take away Danny. But ill live with that if thats the guy they want to shut down. We have too many options if they start to send doubles to kawhi now danny and gasol are going to rain down the 3s.

Love that I had (and abandoned) the idea to copy & paste Scraps' original post from here into a new thread for tomorrow...
But not to simply reply to the end of the original thread...
You're a genius, Hogie.
It's minds like yours that are gonna get us through this pandemic.
As well as, just maybe, depending on how these next few weeks play out on TSN and SN...
Deliver us our very first Raptor Championship.
Keep this man safe, folks.
Orlando Game 2 -- alright --
(you can take your clothes off if you wish ... but please stay indoors.)
