The Raptors losing another Game 1 at home was pretty bad. Let’s take a look at what went wrong against the Bucks, and which of those things we might expect to continue to be a problem.
The Struggle of Kyle Lowry
Yeah, Lowry was awful in this one. He shot 2-of-11 from the field, missed his single free throw attempt, and was 0-of-6 from distance. That doesn’t include several opportunities to score at the rim that he passed up in favour of making tough passes to the perimeter.
Lowry has struggled with his shooting before, but generally even if his shot is off, his play is still excellent.
