Ball or Fall: Lowry’s Bad Back?

Posted on January 2, 2019 By Sammy Younan No Comments on Ball or Fall: Lowry’s Bad Back?

I’m surprised Kyle Lowry has a bad back…when he’s clearly never carried the Raptors in the playoffs.

It’ll never happen but…trade Lowry to the Lakers for Rondo then that vaults Toronto ahead of the Celtics in the Battle for the East.

In basketball it’s called a court for a reason…and the verdict on Lowry is firmly established.

The playoff failures don’t warrant grace. (Ah you can always highlight his regular season stats…a classic Lowry defense but it doesn’t matter. Those numbers always go down in the playoffs. That’s like saying Raptors won 59 games last year!)

April 13 is when the NBA Playoffs begin. If Lowry is still here we’ll see who he is/isn’t.
