Lowry has been taking far fewer shots in the playoffs though because he knows he's cold. That's what an unselfish player does. Demar on the other hand...
If Lowry doesn't shoot and DeMar doesn't shoot...who exactly is shooting?
Outside of getting JV the ball a bit more this team has absolutely no one else who can create...
Ps. You talk about creating. Derozan can't even do that himself. Look how many possessions he kills trying to create his own shot which bricks most of the time

Lowry is still chucking...
In fact, last night he was 3/13 and 1/7from behind the arc
He shouldn't be shooting at all right now.
Also, for everyone complaining about the refs... the game shouldn't have even gone to OT
Lowry's foot is clearly on the line.
We have plenty of guys capable of hitting open jump shots. In fact, everyone else on the team is shooting a much higher FG% than Lowry and Derozan in the playoffs. It's up to them to distribute the ball.

Demar finding his game and stroke, yet still shooting abysmally from the field....People relax...we were all over Derozan in the Indiana series but he has found his game and stroke. Lowry will as well and when he does this series isn't even close. Yes we lost but we played badly. What was the score?? How close was it??? We will beat Miami. Relax
Add Lowry's better stroke and the game last night isn't even close. Relllllaaaaaaxxxxx

I still love Lowry because the guy has heart. He never mailed it in, not for a second. He got his big contract but he kept on getting better. He works like a bulldog, and he badly wants to help his team win. Staying in the arena after the game, probably dead tired, and working on his shot is very commendable.
Right now, Lowry's being baited by the Heat to take open jumpers. He has to realize that when his shot's not going in, he can't be tempted to jack up those shots.
Still, as bad as Lowry has been, we're still a better team with him on the floor (both offensively and defensively). He needs to stop taking jumpers, and cause havoc by penetrating and playmaking.
Also, Casey desperately needs to make plays for JV and the team needs to find him more looks. He abused Whiteside offensively last game. Keep going at it.
What a crazy game to be at. Some of those foul calls though had me scratching my head. The one where JV was called for an offensive foul for grabbing a rebound while getting hacked was the worst. At one point in the 4th, Raps had like 6 points combined between Joseph and Lowry. That just can't happen.
No one else can shoot
He's not a great creator by any means (which is why he'll be out the door in a couple months), but he remains the only player on the team who can actually create separation from his defender.
Lowry got whipped by Dragic yesterday I am not sure they are necessarily better defensively when he's on the floor at least he wasn't yesterday.
Indeed, Lowry was actually one of only two guys with a positive point differential yesterday (JV was the other with a positive differential).Nah that was definitely Joseph that got schooled by Dragic.
