    Lou is so much more consistent than Gordon, much more of a pure shooter. This guy will run away with 6th man I reckon soon..Gordon might still be injured, but without Lou we would not have won and been close to winning last night.

    The thought crossed my mind.

    Lou is basically an undersized SG who plays terrible defense, averages under 3 assists, and is a career 34.9% shooter from deep.

    If he and harden in the court, the defence will weak. Harden just uses his eyes for defence, lou is short. D antony needs to find a way out. I suggest to use lou williams gain more marks in the beginning and dont let him put in the 4th quarters due to high level defence. If we lose many points, the coach can.let him out to chase for more scores

    Watching the Lakers play NO and Brewer just had a run down block and a slick up and under move for a score on the other end. The Laker fans went nuts. I feel sad they just don't know yet.

    He's played pretty poorly of late. Relying too much on bailout calls from the refs rather than taking good shots.

    Lou is averaging 15 points in 23 minutes a game on the Rockets.

    Lou Williams is a useful enough player, but I wonder if the Rockets would have done better at the deadline.

    Toronto, for example, got Serge Ibaka and PJ Tucker for a late-ish first round pick and a couple of second round picks and those guys have elevated their defense and kept things going even in Kyle Lowry's absence.

    Was the best use of the team's assets really to add a 6'1'' scorer?

    I do not recall us doing a major trade deadline deal very year. Minor ones we do a lot.

    6'1 does not really help his lockdown defense.

    Tucker would be nice, but I don't think we had a piece comparable to Terrence Ross, which netted Toronto Ibaka.

    Morey blew the season by not getting a center.

    Is Ross really that valuable? Wouldn't, say, Dekker be at least a comparable piece of asset?

    I would've liked Bogdanovic more, i'm not a fan of players like Lou, but that's just me.

    I do think Williams is a very good addition for us but the 3, layups and FT game has us gotten more inclined to sign those 3 firing perimeter players.

    We lack diversity.
