Interview Answer of the Year
Kyle Lowry
(2:32)
Q: How’s your chop?
A:”I’ll be eating soft food tonight, but I’ll be alright though”
Q: Maybe some pasta?
A: “Pasta, no pasta.”
After getting handed a painful loss by the Cleveland Cavaliers, Kyle Lowry is still capable of painting a good metaphor after being elbowed in the first quarter. It probably wasn’t on purpose but it was apt, the Raptors received a huge blow from the Cavs during a winning streak that had the fan base preening. The game was a large reminder that the Raptors have a ton of work to do when it comes to dethroning LeBron James and they’re going to take some lumps on their way there. Also, did someone say pasta?
