They're using Kyle as a scapegoat. #Culture

who is "they"?

all that article says is that lowry is massively respected within their organization which would make it a tougher decision for them to sit him, but it is the opinion of 'outsiders' (ie. media, fans, etc) that they probably need to make that decision since he's clearly playing at about 20% and he's not gonna sit himself.

the article doesn't say anything that isn't completely obvious to anyone watching these games, and no one's scapegoating lowry unless you are referring to all of the outsiders watching the games who can all see how limited he is.

League is killing its players. Too many games, to close together. They should go to a 60 game schedule, and come up with other ideas to get their owners their money that they lose from gate receipts.

At the least they should put more time between playoff games. One day inbetween isn't enough. 2 games per week would be better.

Key injuries on so many teams has sucked a lot of the fun out of the playoffs. The first 2 rounds were fun but the conference finals have been shitty.

The Celtics are the team to beat imo. I don't know why people keeps saying the Warriors maybe because of their championship history? in order for the Warriors to win they need Curry to play like Steph Curry. They need Klay Thompson to actually make shots. And they need Wiggins to keep playing the way he's been playing - good 2 way game. Wiggins is probably going to be the Warriors most important player in the Finals because he's going to guard one of Tatum or Brown. He needs to win that matchup.

The Finals should be good. Fingers crossed.

So based on where this thread has gone I assume the playoffs have pretty much sucked?

I think you have to throw out a bit of respect for the Celtics too. That's a team right there.

Feels like we got the best of Lowry just before letting him go in the 2019 and 2020 Playoffs. Now he is on the decline with age and injuries.

Like an old car with heavy mileage, you start taking into the shop more than it's on the road. Nagging injuries are the beginning of the end.

I think lowry gets a pass, he's clearly too injured to be out there. Unfortunately he's hurting his team by trying, they are better off if he doesn't play.

Lowry - 0 points, 0 assists, 1 rebound. That's hard to do. Tonight is his second 0 point game in these playoffs.

[The Great One]

Another thing that I'm learning watching Heat games - Bam is overrated.

Lowry on pace for another zero point playoff game.

Lowry choking and being afraid to shoot in the playoffs is a myth.
