How Kyle Lowry’s slump damages Raptors’ chances

There aren’t many things I dislike more than joining the herd. When you come to our site, you should be looking forward to reading a healthy dose of contrarian or even outlandish opinions, but ones backed with reason and facts.

Yet here I am, forced to tell you what you’ve already heard everywhere else: Kyle Lowry is shooting the ball so poorly, he should be benched in favour of Cory Joseph. Lowry’s disastrous playoff performance to date is the biggest reason why the Toronto Raptors were barely able to slide by the Indiana Pacers (and were outscored!), and why the Raptors are in arrears after the first game of the Eastern Conference semi-finals against the Miami Heat.
