Lowry and DeRozan shooting badly in first round vs Pacers (thru 4 games)

[insidehoops]

Between them they are shooting 38% for the series and averaging 15.5 and 14.3 points respectively.

It's do or die with them the rest of the way. Better do it tonight.


EDIT - Feed Big Val, start JT, run them off the 3 point line, contain George, and limit turnovers/fast break opportunities... eventually, the shots should fall... one would hope anyways.

After the thrilling come from behind victory of game 5 ... two questions still remain...

Not questions in a "negative sense", I am hopeful they will progress to the 2nd round.

I am not doubting their skill and their effort.

1) Does the high usage rate during the regular season contribute to both their tiredness - weary - in ability to keep up the flow...?

It seems obvious that D and L are physically tired.

Indiana D is keyed on the two of them. Further they are trying to run the guys ragged on O by using a lot of pick and rolls against D & K.

2) To correct the over usage of the back court "next season" for a really deep run in the playoffs the Raps need a consistent 3rd...

3rd option 3rd scorer 3rd threat.


Who is that and wouldn't that be great!
