Wow. Lowry FINALLY had a good game.

About time, his team carried him this whole way.

Lol, Lowry is the very definition of feast or famine.

As I pointed out previously, in his entire 4 year NBA career, Damian Lillard's career playoff scoring low is 12 points - one time. In this post season alone, Kyle Lowry has 9 games of 12 points or less. That's exactly half of the 18 playoff games he's played this post season. Lowry flat out sucks (famine) in HALF of his team's playoff games.

Feast: 4 times in 18 games Lowry has scored 30, or more points. In fact, those 4 times are the only times Lowry has scored over 25 points in these playoffs ( for comparison, Damian Lillard scored more than 25 points in 6 of his 11 playoff games this year).

Famine: 9 times in 18 games, Lowry has scored 12, or fewer points (for comparison, Damian Lillard has 1 playoff game of 12, or fewer, points in his entire NBA career) .

Please tell us again how Kyle Lowry is better than Damian Lillard.

It sounds more like you're defending Lowry. Based on his streaky shooting in the playoffs, I'd say that's not really necessary. Just leave him open and dare him to shoot. He'll only make you play 4 times in 18 games.

I'd definitely like to see them beat the Cavs, but these assertions that Lowry is better than Dame are nonsensical, especially here in a Blazers forum. It almost makes me want to root for the Cavs, so the one time every 4 or 5 games when Lowry shows up, we won't have to hear about it again. Funny, we never heard how great he was in the 9 games he absolutely sucked balls.

@Tunchi

You want Lowry cause you think he's better? More effecient than Lillard? Please respond to this message after you see the stats.

Lillard has never shot less than 41.9% during a season. Lowry's career percentage is 41.9%

Lowry has had 3 seasons of shooting less than 41% (Not including his rookie year where he played 10 games). Lillard has had only one season where he shot less than 42%.

Lillard: 37% 3 point shooting. Lowry: 35.6%

Last season, Lowry shot .8% better than Lillard (42.7% and 41.9%).

in 2015-2016 - Lowry had 47 games of 40% or better, Lillard had 45. Lowry had 35 games of 45% or more. Lillard had 30.

Lowry and Lillard each had 29 games of shooting less than 40%.

Lowry has had 12 games of shooting between 20-30%. Lillard had 6.

Lowry had 8 games shooting between 30-35%. Lillard had 7.

You can never, ever say again that one is feast or famine and the other is not and that one would be better on this team. EVERY day Lillard is better for this team, WITH his flaws. Lowry is JUST as feast or famine as Lillard. And I didn't even get into individual numbers (FGA/FGM).

So now that you have been proven wrong by multiple people multiple times. If you do not respond with a "whoops, I was wrong" then you are a certified troll.

Have a great day!

Just in case you forgot @Tunchi
 
Toronto and OKC playing well has to be tough on all the Lowry/Derozan/Westbrook/Presti haters here. Not that I have any particular love for any of them, but it warms my cold heart to see y'all blowhards look like fools.
 
Lowry has 1 good game out of 10
Tunchi-"Wow Lowry is a beast . Better than Lillard!"

Lillard has 1 bad game out of 10
Tunchi-"Wow Lillard sucks! Famine!"

During the other 9 games Tunchi doesn't exist lmao
 
You guys know the real winner is Tunchi as he's making you waste time responding to him. You already know what he's going to say, why not just ignore him?

difference conference, and different supporting cast.
 
If Lillard is only a young and up-in-coming player then that only makes it worse that he kicks the pants off an All-Star guard.

I like that I don't have to write stats anymore, I can just own him every time by re-quoting my post with the stats. He gets owned every time.
 
I think it's funny that there are people who still think Tunchi is actually a Blazer fan.

His IP is from Minneapolis, Minnesota. What are the odds that he's just one of the Timbertrolls who are still bitter because Rubio sucks and Kevin Love left them?
 
Tunchi is wrong, but so are some of you. Is lillard better than lowry? I believe so, and i doubt there are many that wouldnt say that. But lowry is a very very good pg, all star level.

Yes, you can make an argument for the eastern conference being worse. But is toronto really that much more talented? We have had more talent the past few years than them and only got out of the first round once before getting out again this year. Id rate cj about equal to derozan, aminu close with carroll, the pf position for them is just as bad as ours, valanciunas is better than plumlee. Our bench and coach are better. They arent that much more talented than us.

The difference between curry and lillard is greater than the difference between lillard and lowry.

Its amazing what toronto has done this year.

Edit: to fix what i meant about curry to lillard and lillard to lowry

I disagree. I put Lowry and Lillard fairly close together in terms of how good they are and where they rank among other point guards. Curry is much better than both of them. The only thing that Lowry is better at, and he's better than Dame OR Curry, is defense.

The greatest difference between Lillard and Curry is shot selection. Something Tunchi mentions constantly. Even the 30 footers I see Curry toss up are generally shots where he squares up.

I mistyped. What i meant was.

Curry is better than lillard. The gap is a decent size.

The gap between lillard and lowry isnt nearly as much. Id rate lillard slightly better than lowry. They are much closer than some of the posters are making it sound.

Thats what i meant. Sorry for the confusion.

It's not about Lowry and Lillard and one being better than the other. It's about the hypocrisy he presents saying one is feast and famine and the other is not. That's the isssue, not that Lowry sucks and Lillard is God.
