    It is starting to feel that way. Luckily, the Rockets didn't give up as many assets for Lawson as the Mavs did for Rondo.

    the numbers are very clear. Rockets have been through this before. Is has been determined a long long time ago that houston is a better team when Harden starts with a defensive pg (bev) than an offensive one (jl).

    so why are we starting ty?

    Because he's a legit player that can't fit on this team. He's a 10m cap on our roster atm. Either we trade him or we make him work.

    If someone can answer this, why did we get Lawson?

    It'll all make sense.

    To free up our shooters to play off ball and to have another scoring option.

    Lawson needs to drive looking to score . Only once his presence has been acknowledged should he then drive and dish . lawson is not being aggressive enough . He should have the speed to get by anyone and is a little guy so drawing fouls should be easy . I know teams are packing the paint on harden , but I don't think they are doing so to Lawson . He looks scared to shoot . He has got to be a scorer first , only then can he be a playmaker . No other team respects Lawson right now .

    Lawson should be traded for Rondo.

    cant believe Lin and Beverley are better than Lawson is on this damn team.. I blame Harden. Guess it's tough for a PG to play with him. We need a Steve Kerr type PG on this team not a guy like Lawson.

    Starting or coming off the bench, Lawson just needs to score.

    3 minutes of gametime?

    Maybe the Rockets have realized Lawson isn't going to fit with this team.

    May be time to cut our losses with him down the road.

    We had two long practices before this game. Its obvious that Lawson didn't earn any time during those practices. As bad as he started off the season , he doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt. He looks like trash. Chemistry this Chemistry that... yadayadayada . I see a dude who can't defend. Cant shoot, wont shoot, wont attack . He isnt doing anything right now , and I'd rather have terry's geriatric ass and Beverley's out of control play over Lawson's p***y effort.

    Lawson is done as a Rocket. Just a matter of how and when.

    Ty should be starting. I can live with him attacking the basket and playing decent defense. Terry is too old and Bev is not even 100%...
