Yeah, well hopefully they utilize him better. He's a PG, let him run the show. or part of the show. Telling him to stand in the corner and wait for the pass and spot up, that's not him. You already had a PG who did that in Beverley.
McHale hasn't find a good way to stagger their minutes. Lawson only gets like 3 minutes of floor time without Harden per half, and in that time he usually lets Bev have the ball 60% of the time. Honestly, it's pretty simple. Lawson gets the first 6 minutes, sits at the half way mark. Harden plays the whole 1st quarter and sits a the quarter break. Lawson gets 9 or so minutes in the 2nd, with Harden coming in at the 6 minute mark of the 2nd. Lawson needs to command the ball more! There's no point to him if he tries playing SG. I get not trying to step on toes but he has to play his role. And Harden has to let Lawson have the ball more. The moment he does, the Rockets will take a whole new step forward.
I think Harden and Lawson need to play with other each less at this point. There will still be overlap, but Lawson needs to be the primary playmaker when he is in there and when there is overlap.
Hope they can do this against 2 elite guys Durant and Westbrook cause Adams gonna have Dwight locked up
Thank you. He's been just fine outside of his shot not falling. Hmmm I'm trying to remember which coach started Thornton tonight. Can you please remind me?
will be interesting to see if this year's rockets can hold a lead. Up by 19 at the half... will the complacent 3rd quarter rockets show up or a "new" team mentality to attack? in before the 'but McFail is still our head coach" comments
I seriously think Harden needs to hire a shooting coach. I mean being in a slump is one thing but this is getting just ridiculous. Everytime he shoots it feels like it's a miss, funny thing is his FT's are money yet his jumper is woeful, which could mean he's not using his legs enough or he's rushing his shots. His defense looks better this game and he seems to be much more engaged. now if he could get his shots to fall.
LOL Dragic with the shot clock violation. Guess no one told him about day light savings time adjustment.
We were also trying to take time off the clock to end the half, but I do agree. Harden needs to let Lawson be the playmaker when they share the floor.
