    It's an opinion. Both are great players but Lowry is better.

    There was posters on this site that tried to clown on Lowry and I'm just sticking it back to them.

    Dame was 16-58 or something ugly like that his last two games where Lowry has been ballin his last two games in this series and of course was huge in a big game 7

    I've been giving Lowry props in this thread, but I still disagree with your conclusion. Lowry, like Dame is a streaky shooter. He absolutely sucked ass in last year's playoffs and early in this years's post season. He's on a hot streak right now, but he's doing it against a SEVERELY depleted MIA team with ZERO rim protection - not against the 73-win defending champs with 1st and 2nd team All Defensive big men clogging the paint and defending the pick and roll.

    Too bad there is zero chance TOR gets by CLE. I'd LOVE to see how Lowry would fare in a series against GSW. Something tells me it would send you scurrying back under your bridge.

    Klay Thompson would merk him, unless they put Curry on Lowry (big sign of disrespect).

    For Tunchi

    Kyle Lowry 2015-2016 postseason - 17.4 ppg, 35% shooting, 24.7% three point shooting, 6.5 assists, 4.6 rebounds, 1.8 steals

    Damian Lillard 2015-2016 postseason - 26.5 ppg, 36.8% shooting, 39.3% from three, 6.3 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals

    Yup. Lowry is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better. Would you care to revise your statement?

    *This is why nobody takes your posts seriously bro. Utterly ridiculous.

    One of them was playing the Warriors, one of them was facing a depleted Miami team.

    I think both sides of the argument are going to extremes to make a point. Lowry and Lillard are comparably offensively, with both being streaky but Lillard showing the capability of carrying a bigger load at that efficiency level. However, Lowry is much, much better defensively. And Lillard is unbeatable in the leadership department. I don't know how you pick a clear favorite between the two.

    They've done it...theyve made candy in the likeness of weird beard himself...though it is more bitter than sour and doesn't really live up to expectations...you could say it's a huge flop

    Lowry is JUST as feast or famine as Lillard. It literally makes NO sense.

    But, tunchi's posts are awful. so I don't expect his posts to be smart, or have any semblance of reason or logic.

    Lowry:
    - 21.2 ppg, with a standard deviation of 5.36 (25.3%).
    - 5.7 apg
    - True Shooting % of 0.578.
    - 22.1 PER.

    Dame:
    - 25.1 ppg, with a standard deviation of 6.67 (26.6%).
    - 6.3 apg
    - True Shooting % of 0.560
    - 22.2 PER.

    At age 30, Lowry is having a career year.

    Is Lowry currently better than Dame? It's certainly a valid question - but easily answered if you're a Blazer fan.

    Pop probably stays long enough to recruit Durant, then announces his retirement once the ink is dry.

    Totally soft, melt under heat, disintegrate under pressure, manufactured and marketed as great but really just a cash grab.

    I said we should have drafted Lowry instead of Dame but no one would listen to me.

    Unlike you, most of us don't talk shit on somebody when they play well.

    Sounds like Houston trading Lowry hurt your butt about as bad as Dame sinking that .9 shot.

    I'll never understand why people respond to Tunchi so often and continue to get in the same arguments over and over again. Why not just ignore him?
