MUST READ: 2019 Playoffs: Raptors @ Bucks Game 1

Lowry had 30 on 10-15 shooting in a playoff game. For him, this happens once like every few weeks in each postseason. And they still lost with Giannis scoring only 24 and Middleton dropping 11. Milwaukee has a far more balanced attack while Toronto depended way too much on Kawhi vs Philly especially in game 7 when he took 39 shots to get only 41 points. It was even more troubling that the raptors only scored 92 points in that game which is WAY below average for an NBA offense. Even though Lowry and Gasol have all star status, they're no longer all star level players largely because both are usually far too passive. Marc rarely posted up a much smaller Tobias in round 2 and too often this season Lowry is content with standing around and shooting 3s every once in a while. Plus Kyle is way too inconsistent come playoff time. And all the Siakam hype needs to end. He's good but not as good as a lot of fans think. After game 1 vs the 76ers, Embiid guarded him for much of the series. That forced Pascal to spend far too much time on the 3 point line when he didn't have the ball. So Joel could sag way off him. The reason is because he's a way below average shooter from everywhere besides the corner 3. So he couldn't attack, or had a lot of trouble attacking, a much taller and stronger Embiid, rendering him almost useless. He will become a star once he turns into a much better jump shooter. Until then, he'll be forced into too many drives where he can't use his tremendous length and agility as effectively to finish against a lot of contact because of his very thin frame.
