There's another article, in NBA.com, on the harbinger that was Deetroit's performance against Miami Wednesday night. 

And there is another canary-in-the-coal-mine article from Ira Winderman on the "Heat". Ira, normally the best company man 601 Biscayne has who doesn't technically work for the company, has written three articles on the Kyle Lowry Canary in three days. 

We don't have a point guard. We thought we had a point guard when we got Kyle but we didn't get Kyle the Toronto point guard. We got Kyle-the-over-30-league point guard. Even in that league you need more than 0 points on 0/1 shooting. 

Nobody else on the roster is a true point guard, not Tyler, not Josh Richardson, not Jimmy. Kyle will not be goose egg Kyle in Beans or over 82 games but he also can't get us past Beans or Beer or Bell over 82 games.
