At least when Lowry isn't shooting well he's done so much to help his team win playoff games. When Dame isn't shooting well he isn't giving you anything. He isn't playing defense, taking charges (or coming close to leading the the league in them), playmaking for other teammates, grabbing lose balls etc.

For the most part Lowry hasn't had bad games in the playoffs, just bad shooting nights. The narrative has been a bit overblown when it comes to him.


Only had 11/9 but a huge impact on the game defensively....I actually think there strategy of letting the bench/Ibaka/Val handle the scoring in the 1st half and letting them be facilitators early on,so theyre refreshed for the game down the stretch is decent...

His production has decreased significantly over the last 3 postseasons, nothing is being overblown.

His production, efficiency. He just isn’t the same player in the playoffs for whatever reason. It’s odd, because his game seems built for slower basketball but usually derozan that steps up

Derozan has been garbage in the playoffs.

Neither of them have really stepped up but if we're talking about the past few playoffs, Lowry has had a bigger impact

That isnt true...His numbers last year were about the same as they have been on better efficiency and much less usage...his scoring was down but everything else was about the same...

People have this weird perception about Lowry. Only thing that really drops off is his shooting but he does a lot. Derozan on the other hand if he ain't scoring, he ain't doing nothing but hurting the team.
