Sve kako i je... Kyle Lowry " Forever the regular season guy"

Playing on the second year of a three-year, $100 million contract he signed before the 2017-18 season began, Lowry has once again struggled to make much of an impact in either of the Raptors first to series so far this postseason, averaging 12.3 points, and eight assists while knocking down roughly 28 percent of his 3 point attempts.

But how could this be? How could a player averaging 14.2 points and 8.7 assists over the regular season watch his production noticeably drop off despite playing moreminutes?

Well, the obvious answer would be his size.

Measuring in at 6-foot-1, 196 pounds, Lowry is among the shortest players left in the postseason; one who can more or less be neutralized without that much effort by most opposing guards.

With a shaky outside shot, and at taller defender almost always on him, Lowry has struggled to find spots where his skillset can shine through, and he can help his team win.

Clearly the team’s third offense of option at best thanks to the emergence of Pascal Siakam as a legitimate 3-and-d combo forward, Lowry has been pretty much a non-factor in all seven of his teams games so far this postseason; scoring the quietest 20 points of any player in recent memory in the team’s Game 2 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.

While Lowry can still clearly play at a high level, without a T.J. McConnell-type to impose his will upon, the 33-year-old has largely become an afterthought for Nick Nurse‘s squad; a thought that would have seemed ridiculous a year or so ago.

With as many as five more games to play against the Sixers, with three of which coming in his hometown of Philadelphia, it will be increasingly interesting to see if Nurse can find a way to highlight Lowry moving forward, or if he will forever be just a ‘regular season guy’.

go Bucks!

Giannis ipak nije terminator, sad na slobodnim bacanjima jedva do daha dolazio i onda napad nakon faul u napadu zbog ocitog umora.

cini se da Boston ipak nemoze ovu seriju izgubit....Brogdon puno fali...

Odavno neko nije igrao odvratniju kosarku od Bucksa, ovo silovanje sa bacanjim Grka je negledljivo.

Jel nije u NBA prije tek 6. napravljeni faul uzrokom slobodnih bacanja? Za razliku od Fibe gdje je peti u pitanju? Ili sam ja omašio fudbal.

PS. još me nešto muči već neko vrijeme, a to je no-charge semicircle. Ok, znam da obrambeni igrač ne može iznuditi faul u napadu ako stoji u tome polukrugu, no par puta sam vidio da obrambeni igrač stoji ukopan na mjestu s rukama vertikalno u zraku, i sudi mu se faul. Tj. po mom mišljenju nikakve osnove za obrambeni faul, a suđen je.

Dakle, postoji li pravilo u NBA da je obrambeni igrač kriv za bilo kakav kontakt unutar polukruga, čak i ako je napadač uzrokovao kontakt? Ili su suci jednostavno u tih par situacija vidjeli nešto što ja nisam.

Stivens totalno bezidejan, ekipama mu ne liči ni na šta.  Bez rezona se igraju napadi.
