Lowry's a great player, but.....

[Orgfiller]

When exactly did you hear this comp?

[Spanky99]

Apples and Oranges obviously, no one can un man Wendel, not Lowry, lol, Carter couldn't figure it out. What a dumn reporter, lol.

[Spanky99]

When exactly did you hear this comp?

 

During the game...Jack Armstrong.

[Spanky99]

Too funny...terrible efficiency.

[burlingtonbandit]

So Hawks-Spurs/Warriors Final?

[SpeedyGose]

Lowry's a great player, but.....

 

The comp in the way it was said makes sense. Basically meant he was a hard nosed guy who doesn't take s*** and makes people own up to their responsibilities, good leader etc.

[SpeedyGose]

So Hawks-Spurs/Warriors Final?

 

Real question is, will the Hawks ever lose again lol

[dineke]

Who's Wendy Clark?

[burlingtonbandit]

So uh Klay Thompson scored 37 thats right 37 f***in points in the 3rd Q alone...

 

GS looking real smart that they didn't trade him for Love.

[burlingtonbandit]

Still can't get over that number... Teams barely ever score 37 in a Q and he did it by himself. For a guy to set the record for most points in a single Q in this day and age is remarkable.

Holy f***.

[Orgfiller]

Wow, that's remarkable. Klay is such a good player, probably the best SG right now, I think it's close enough that you could argue he surpassed Wade.

James Harden might be a bit ahead but its pretty close. They're both top 2 for sure though.

I get you, but still...

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Really hoping that 4th quarter gets Lowry back on track. Extremely gutsy performance from him.

 

Tomorrow's game should be personal. Jennings pushed your s*** in last week. Go get your revenge.

[dineke]

Remember when some people thought DD was better than Klay Thompson? LMAO

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Demar is not THIS bad. Come on guys.

From 16 ft to 3 pt line (aka the dreaded "long 2"):

This year: 35% of FGA

Last year: 39% of FGA

 

At the rim:

This year: 20% of FGA

Last year: 16% of FGA

 

SSS but his shot selection has actually slightly improved... He's just not finishing at the rim as good as he did last year for whatever reason.

 

Hopefully it's just a confidence issue with the groin.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Am I the only one that thinks this comparison is ridiculous?

 

Why did you focus so much on this comment? Jack made a comment about how Lowry is tough as balls. What is the issue?

Even when he was playing "good" he wasn't that good of a player. He is an inefficient volume scorer which isn't very valuable for a contending team especially when he is average at best on the defensive end. Coaching doesn't help as he seems to be allowed to shoot all these awful shots but even with a good coach I'm not sure he is going to be worth how much money he is going to get in 2016. SG that can't shoot the 3 better be elite in many other areas which Derozan isn't.

 

Best to trade him in the offseason while you can get assets back for him.

I agree. I would love to see us get someone like Wes Matthews to replace Demar. Highly doubt we see Demar moved though

[dineke]

Demar's gone sooner or later, no way an analytically minded GM keeps him around.

Because Spanky is a massive Leaves homer and comparing anyone to Lord Wendell Clark is punishable by death.

This^^^^ *Wendel*

This^^^^ *Wendel*

 

*Wendelle

I honestly don't get the love for Wendel - Leaf fans protect him way more than Sundin and Sundin was by far the better player

[Chappy]

Who gives a s*** about Wendel Clark. Lowry is here right now.

[jaysblue]

Did Wendel win a Stanley Cup for the Leafs? End of discussion!
