    Ty Lawson over his last seven games: 11 points on 3-of-19 shooting (15.8%) in 117 minutes.

    This is what happens when a player loses his confidence. Not only that but he's been taking out his comfort zone. Lawson has to have the ball in his hands just as much as Harden. He also needs to know that he has the green light to do whatever it takes to win.

    Didn't watch the game. I know it's the Lakers, but was it an okay performance? Effort? Passing? Rotations? How was it? Anything different/notable?

    Defense was intense...in spurts throughout the game. And Clint Capela got baptized by Kobe...about it...

    Offense looked terrible aside from hitting a good amount of threes (12).

    Defensive intensity was good at times and I recall a good amount of blocks and steals. It's the Lakers though so take with a grain of salt.

    Overall, still not impressed. Didn't see much change from our previous bad habits.

    We cut turnovers down. Thorton was a DNP-CD

    Thornton's PT is an enigma shrouded in mystery

    Instead of labeling Rockets weak for losing to Brooklyn and Denver, call the Lakers all-time bad for getting rolled by Houston, twice :eek: :grin:

    Ariza was big last night. If TJones can have games like this against real teams we'll be set. Unfortunately I've seen TJones play real teams and I don't like our odds

    By the way, Kobe didn't dunk on Capela. People still do not get dunking on or over.

    Pretty much. I think everyone is to blame for Lawson, himself for not playing well (Which I never said he was playing well? Not sure why people think I said that.) the coaches for expecting him to just be some spot up shooter next to Harden, and the players themselves for not telling him it's alright to do his thing.

    I mean, we've heard that he had a talk to Harden and all of this stuff, who knows what was said. If Harden told him that or any other player he still seems scared to do that.
