Lowry can't freeze up in the playoffs like his best friend does

its obvious hes injured

I mean it is he has no lift when he shoots,so why are we playing him,he wont admit he injured or cant play we remember the elbow thing from a few years ago...

But if he cant drive and shoot or defend hes hurting this team,sit down for a week or 2....i know he loves this playing thru pain bulldog title he gets but hes hurting the team if hes playing 35 mins and hes not right....

Look at the replays the last few games,he doesnt have that bounce when he shoots that we all notice,where hr pulls up on a dime and falls away,you can see him laboring on his motion and theyre all coming up way short or way too strong cuz hes overcompensating on his follow thru.

Ever since he came back off that rest game he hasnt been right....

I BEEN saying this, he barely has any lift when he actually does decide to shoot.

Very noticeable last night he doesnt have that bounce when hes falling away....i told my mans last night we lost the game cuz Lowry played....if those 7 shots went somewhere else we probably win the game.....he should do the right thing and just take a few games off...

My fear is that it's something more serious as he's at the age where these things become a problem.

They should also be managing his minutes, but bottom line is that the team needs to make some roster changes now, or they'll piss away whatever window they thought they have.

Edit: Are there any incentives he's playing for in his next (and probably last) big contract? example, first team, minutes played etc....?

Could explain his reluctance to take games off.

Hes not gonna get max money again so i dont get that argument,playing right now while hes hurt is damaging his stats which is gonna hurt his next contract....All of these 1 for 7 shooting night with 5 point games are bringing his stats down and also dragging down his all star game chances....which also will impact his next deal..
