    A 3 & 2 lay ups . One of them was a nice cut, making himself a target for Ty to hit.

    Ty will have to learn to be more aggressive with us.

    It'll take time.

    Seemed to me that they were purposely trying to get the 4's the ball.

    You mean ty is actually moving the ball around creating more touches for everyone?. My god why doesn't he just dribble it for the whole shot clock in a scrimmage game!

    Man Jeremy Tyler could also be a solid addition to this team. More Ready than Chris Walker (Who's potential is I really like).

    Of course it was Harden who closed out poorly on Thornton in the last play. LOL. Stay down bro!

    Really? Were we 'paper deep' last season when we fought through injuries and clawed our way to the WCF with essentiallly the same roster?

    Are you saying half a season of Josh Smith & Pablo Prigioni is more valuable to our depth than a full season (and training camp) of Ty Lawson, Harrell, and a more developed/confident Clint Capela?

    Add in a healthy DMo and Beverley (both proven contributors) and we're a very deep contender. Period.

    If you want to claim 'paper' depth, then go visit the LAC locker room.

    Is Lowe tempted to say we are his fav team to win it all?

    He also looked a it heated on the turnover leading to an easy layup. Didn't see him touch the ball even once in that clip.

    It should be noted that one of Tyler's baskets was on a cherry-pick. He didn't run back and got lucky on a Beverley(?) steal and pass to him right under the basket.

    Ty is not getting rid of the ball too soon.

    He's getting the ball moving right away. It's a scrimmage also. During a game we'll probably see different things. But overall, getting the ball moving early is a good thing.

    I noticed that with the Rockets in pre-season. Even when Ty isn't in the game the ball movement is much better.

    the only thing I got out of this nice video is that there needs to be more talking and communicating in defence.
