Which means putting the ball into the hands of someone who is shooting at 31% and who jacks up midrage jumpers at 12%? And that 12% shooting is from a third of his shot attempts even though it's the Rockets system not to take those? Opposing defenses would have an even easier time.
I'd rather watch Lawson do something with the ball than see Harden dribble until there's less than ten seconds.
That's like saying you'd rather watch the Rockets lose than have the ball in Harden's hands or have McHale stay on as coach.
Lawson needs to be the point guard of our offense but the real issue is not just James being on the ball so much... the biggest issue is we really don't have a real offense. We are playing take your turn street ball and it's not working out for either player.
No .... Harden needs to be the point guard , the other guard needs to be able to shoot a high percentage from 3 , defend and drive on occasion. Anyone else initiating the offense is not getting the most out of your best player.
What's up with ty Lawson, he showed us in the thunder game how effective he can be. I know he just not straight up trash he just can't play like himself for whatever reason.
Trade please. We need a PG that can shoot and play D. Ty can do neither. With and without Harden he's struggled badly so that excuse has flown straight out the window. I'd rather have Jeremy Lin.
Nice switch moving Lawson to the bench. His shot might be off because he's not handling the ball enough. Let him regain his rhythm and hopefully he and Harden can mesh better. Harden doesn't need to dominate the ball when they're playing together either.
I don't even get it. He isn't even doing the bare minimum when it comes to being a basketball player: Pass, Shoot, Dribble.
When you have a ball dominant, top 5 player of a SG, doesn't matter who the PG is, they're not going to put up big stats. I don't care if it's a D-Leaguer like Lin or a borderline all star like Lawson, no PG on this team will have good numbers. What the Rockets obviously need is 3 and D from the PG position. A dude who can hit the open shot.
Go watch some highlights from Denver last year. Impossible to believed it's the same player. Why is he so...invisible?
Me too. He's been considerably worse than Lin. Would have been better to have kept Prigioni. Happy to hear Bickerstaff say Terry will be starting going forward. It's still early so hopefully Ty can improve.
Yea Lawson looks like he just picked up a basketball after 5 years No way should a 35+ Terry be playing over you in the 4th
Bringing him off the bench changes nothing. He was already on the floor when Harden was on the bench. He just hasn't delivered. If I were coach, I would: 1) Start him 2) Tell him the following: "if you don't get either 10 assists or 12 FGA every single night then you aren't playing next game"
