One win and three losses: miami hadn’t had such a bad start since the 2007/08 season. Kyle Lowry embodies rather well this mediocre start of the Heatwhich could worsen with a “back-to-back” at the Blazers then at the Warriors, in the middle of the week.
Despite the continuity of the workforce advocated during an off-season without madness, the leader reminds that the Florida formation ” always has different guys in different roles and different situations. So we gotta make sure we’re all on the same page “.
The 36-year-old obviously still struggles to play at the same tempo as the others. Since the start of the season, he has averaged just under 11 points, with a very low 28% shooting success rate (including 28% at 3-pts, or 7/25) and despite still playing time 35 minutes.
After two outings in a row to 17 points, Kyle Lowry also plunged back last night, against the Raptors, with only 7 points at 1/8 on shots. ” I could probably hold the ball a little longer, hold it a little more. It might help. But I am an altruistic player. So sometimes it’s necessary to play away from the ball and let the game come to you. “Nevertheless thinks the former Toronto All-Star.
Victim of the change of five?
The latter seems to be a “victim” of Erik Spoelstra’s change of five. Exit Duncan Robinson and especially PJ Tucker, gone to Philadelphia; hello Tyler Herro and Caleb Martin. Two players more likely to wear leather, especially in the case of the first named.
“ We have players who can really create the game and we have to find ways to mix it up, to find how to play a little better with each other. Everyone has a different role this year, things are a bit different, aren’t they? Tyler is in the five and Bam [Adebayo] is more aggressive “, continues Kyle Lowry, citing his pivot whose statistical production is however also in sharp decline.
” We have a good team and we know each other well. We have to find a way to grow and to continue to do so, not to be inconsistent from game to game. And I’m not talking about how to play, but about the style of play. We’re going to miss shots and shots won’t go in, but at the same time, we can play the exact same way every day. “, ends the veteran.
