It doesnt take away from the other pre season games that he played well....and you have to remember its pre season,hes not going hard as he would next week....Do we not remember the two games last week where he looked GOOD,this narrative is corny and that being said his minutes are gonna be like last years and Van Vleet is gonna have a bigger role with the first team so were prepared for any sliding...

You cant trade Lowry for Butler straight up cuz he makes 8 million more than Jimmy does...thats the problem with that,its gonna have to be a package...

Thats typical Lowry though, even when DD was around. Plenty of games he got ejected out of, when he was in that complaining mood.


He should have left it alone cuz the game is meaningless but i understand why hes mad as fukk at that call...it was a dumb whistle...

Exactly and he plays better when hes mad,im not making wild judgements based on ONE half....Hes looked good overrall in the pre season and has shown he wants to win and play here...hes still doing his community projects here like that thanksgiving assist to me thats not a man whos checked out....

Fans are seeing too much into this preseason game. Lowry looked very good in his first preseason game. He has always been known to be a difficult person to deal with. The hope is that as the season goes on and the team is winning he'll end up meshing more with Kawhi. Because right now it seems that Delon and FVV have better chemistry with Kawhi.

I know its preseason but after watching the beatdown yall gave us last night in the 3rd yall defense is gonna be scary :whoa:

Then that bench :wow:


I think were being underrated if thats possible....everybody assumes Celtics are coming out the East,we dont have as talented a starting 5 but overrall a deeper team...

What im trying to say is the Raps winning the East and beating the Celtics isnt an upset for me,theyre bench is better and improved and defensively theyre going to be a nightmare....in 2014 Heat had better individual talent but the Spurs were a better team.

I dont think he is a locker room poison,its a fictional exaggerated media driven talking point...Its driven by one particular idiot on the raptors beat who loves driving these corny talking points about Lowry's fiestyness....I mean lets be reality here,people were complaining cuz they thought he didnt want to be here before camp started.

He put that to rest did interviews,did his off the court commitments and was doing media interviews and saying all the right things NOW mufukkas are complaining hes too fiery ???

Which is it ? We wanted the guy who plays with an edge now were bytching about it ???

Nah B were fine,Lowry will be fine.....Dont follow fakkits like Lewenberg in the media.
