I even called out Lowry in a few posts and Ross in one of them.
Most of Lowry's dumb shots were at the beginning of the game. The crux of the issue in this situation is when the Raps got up 20 DD went away from what was working well for the TEAM. Passing and moving the ball is a thing of beauty and the Raps were excelling for 75% of the 2nd half. Ball stopping and hero ball nearly cost the game. That is just for major, major criticism. When or if Lowry/Ross/DD/Whoever does it, I intend on voicing my frustration.
Do not forget the thread was derailed by people objecting to well deserved criticism.I relish negativity and disappointment. It is not healthy. Somebody buy me a pony.

So appropriate......
What the non-haters fail to realize is that criticism is what got DeRozan to this point in his career. Responding to valid criticism, and honing his craft accordingly, is exactly why he’s improved. People chastised him for his ball-handling, so what do you see in the offseason? Videos of DeRozan working on his handles. People chastised him for his three-point shooting, so DeRozan fine-tuned his shot. Same with his defense, same with his passing.
And that’s not to say abject criticism, or hating, is good. It’s not. But that’s not what people are saying about DeRozan. What most people want is what I want — to be able to have a conversation about one of the best players on the team.
But it can’t be done.

I've noticed that when DD is having a tough shooting night he tries to get to the rim and draw a foul. Making free throws tends to calm him down and he starts hitting his outside shots. Since he wasn't getting calls he normally gets he forced up some tough ones that if he made could have got him into a groove.
Not an excuse to go hero ball as much as he did. At the same time he is our go to scorer so sometimes u just have to live with it (to an extent) to see of he can get going.
Also, early in the season, after a summer of hard work developing new skills, it makes sense guys will want to show them off. It'll probably be a couple games before they figure out how they can use their new skills best to help the team.
One last thing. Anyone notice KL shot looks different? He has a bit of a lean/off balance look. Wonder if that's new? Anyone else notice that?Sunny ways my friends, sunny ways
Because its 2015

There shouldn't be any difference between how we judge the two, considering Demar had a higher FG% last year than Kyle Lowry ... 42.9% vs. 42.3%.

I must say, this has to be one of the most epic game threads ever. The second would have to be Rudy's famous 37-shot night against the Rockets.
Nonetheless, I would have to say that I agree with the people who are willing to discuss the low points and criticisms of a match in spite of it ending in a victory. Win or lose, there is always something that can be taken away from a game. And when you almost sacrifice a 20+ point lead, there is definitely something that the team can improve upon.I know this may be a bit controversial but I think the Raptors have proven that they're the best team in the NBA from Canada

“I do random things during the game,” he admits. “I just can’t watch. Sometimes I go up in my office and work. Other times I’ll drive home in the middle of the game."
is how I tend to watch most games!!!
