    take Harden and Jones or Capela.....switch them with Butler and Gibson....and the team of Ty, Butler, Ariza, Gibson and Dwight....would be wayyyyy better than the crap we have right now

    go onto Bulls forums. Everybody feels the same about Butler as we do to Harden. Stupid iso-ball for half the shot clock etc etc

    but atleast he gives effort defensively.

    He gives effort, he makes cuts, he catches lobs , he runs curls ...he doesn't Iso nearly as much as Harden. Harden is a bearded Melo - Corey Maggette love child

    really? man i've enjoyed watching butler for two seasons now and thought he was rounding into a top 10 player this season. i think as of right now he's playing better ball than james. i guess every fanbase can be fickle.

    31 mins for Lawson today. Thanks to Terry's flu and Bev's ankle.

    Played a bit scared and still did some nice things. You can see that if he had the green light to attack how much he could do for us.

    Hopefully he backs this effort up again tomorrow.

    You know Lawson was sick last game, too, right?

    JBB has been giving him minutes, well before your memo thread.

    If we keep him we will reap the benefits of how great he will play next season

    thats my logic

    Lawson is the man, him and harden need to figure this out because harden is a great player and Lawson is a damn good one. It can work but they have to both change a little. Let Lawson run the point and I guarantee harden would still get his numbers with more efficiency. Or maybe I'm dreaming I dunno

    JB has been giving him poop minutes in poop situations. They are not using him like they should be...

    Not true. And besides, it's more minutes than Lawson has been able to give JBB around his 5 game suspension and 2 sick games.

    Dude is in a contract year, and he needs us as much as we need him. He is getting the opportunity, and he needs to grasp it and not let go.

    Why do you guys insist on inventing a story around what's actually happening, just so you can prematurely b**** at the coach, in some kinda fans know better manner? Lawson is getting minutes and getting more involved, but all his baggage is getting in the way of it happening consistently. Plus, Bev is on fire.

    He's not using himself like he should be...he's not taking the leadership role out there when he's got the opportunity. I think it will come though.

    Did Ty's confidence take a hit now that he's off the booz??

    untrue.....the Rockets have a player option on him, he is signed for next season but can waive him without his salary counting against the cap

    He played like crap from minute one when he was starting. Not JBB's fault that Bev is on fire and is playing better.

    It is honestly absurd how much better Lawson is than Beverley. Yet again, JB throwing out the poopy...

    Did Bev play better? (The answer is no, which isn't surprising because Bev is Mario Chalmers at best...)
