wtf lou...

[burlingtonbandit]

Lou and Lowry have made some really bad decisions on passes.

[burlingtonbandit]

Lou has been worse than Vasquez tonight.

[Orgfiller]

JV hasn't touched the ball on offense in the 4th quarter.

[jays_fever]

The fact that he's dumb is stopping him from reaching his potential, basically. You seem to admit that he has a lot of unrealized upside.

 

Being able to shoot the ball doesnt give you great upside when you fail at everything else.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Amir and Lowry on the floor ASAP.

 

f***ing Lou and Vasquez cannot play together. It's pointless to even have JV on the floor with them. They NEVER look for him.

[burlingtonbandit]

Nice pass by Vasquez there.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Lowry will find a way to win this. Huge shot.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Gotta build a cushion here. Jennings come back on.

He can do a bit more than shoot though, physically. He can jump real high and stuff amirite

You can't teach a player to play like Wade.

 

He simply doesn't have the desire to attack the rim consistently. Maybe it'll come but I doubt it.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Patterson needs to hit a f***ing shot.

Guys are going to have it every night, you know...

[Laika]

He simply doesn't have the desire

 

That's an overly pessimistic viewpoint.

 

Didn't people say similar, hand-wavy, dismissive things about Lowry before he came to Toronto?

 

You could just as easily say that he simply hasn't learned how to play properly yet in his ~120 or so professional games.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Lowry is just relentless.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

That's an overly pessimistic viewpoint.

Lowry always had fantastic defensive intensity. He was just out of shape and never really had a true shot to run his own team.

 

They're not really comparable.

What's funny is that after he won those dunk contests. his defence went straight downhill.

[Laika]

I'm not comparing the players

Pretty sure people just said Lowry was fat and unmotivated to improve. He always drove to the rim though. Wasn't a repertoire question, more of an off the court thing. This is about Ross' on-court repertoire.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

JJ is such a rare breed. Not many guys in the league who can guard every position on the floor.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Seriously someone has to knock Monroe out by the end of this season.

[burlingtonbandit]

Lowry flops pretty hard as soon as he feels contact.

[Orgfiller]

Lowry flops pretty hard as soon as he feels contact.

 

Because he doesn't get calls when he tries to tough it out. The Portland game comes to mind.

[Orgfiller]

So JV is 14/15 from the field. Yet he's touched the ball once on an offensive rebound putback.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Keep chucking boys.

 

What a f***ing joke.

[Orgfiller]

Vasquez just airballed a wide open 3, he needs to GTFO.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

So JV is 14/15 from the field. Yet he's touched the ball once on an offensive rebound putback.

 

Responsibility falls on the coach.

[burlingtonbandit]

Defence has just been terrible tonight. Our perimeter guys just let them drive right by them all the time. No excuse to let a s*** team like the Pistons score this many points.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Now he takes JV out during crunch time.

Lol that would happen...
