    so this is how its going to end huh.

    After months and months of wondering what would be if we just had an above average PG, we think we finally get one this past summer.

    And it turns out to be one of the most disappointing performances by a Rockets PG ever.

    I honestly thought he could be Rafer Alston at the worst. Rafer looks Chris Paul relative to Ty's season.


    That is Houston Sports for ya.

    This is depressing, sad, ridiculous and laughable.

    But we have come to this. Good bye and good riddance.

    What I can think of is that he can go as a test to a team so he can salvage some value to get an ok contract next year because with the way he's been playing he would be lucky to get 6 per.

    If he's smart he will sign with the Nets instead of a playoff team. But because I doubt he's very smart I think he won't.

    GOOD!!!

    It sucks for Lawson that Codman "The Trade Kryptonite" jinxed Jarrett Jack and got him hurt ( ;) ), and that Lawson had to stay here, but he's been abso-f***ing-lutely worthless to this team, even more so lately.

    Get his moping we-didn't-assimilate-him and he-didn't-try ass out of here. I don't know if we have a sucker like Kevin Martin (doubt it, hates us) or Joe Johnson to step into the void he leaves, but the attitude and lack of effort are helping to drag down the team.

    For those that even get remotely upset at Les$, id like to remind you guys that Lawson has been awful and that a broken twig would be more productive then him.

    Free agent PG's right now?

    Miller, Rindour, Bynum, Telfair, Wroten, Shved, Nick Johnson?

    exactly. And possibly also chemistry disruptive.

    I dont' even want my Bucks to pick him up for free.

    If my calculations are correct.

    Les can still go under the luxury tax if he sells 1 frickin bedroom in his 42 Million Apartment.

    Raptors color guy Jack Armstrong likes to shout this during games: "Get that garbage outta here".

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Worth noting that Ty Lawson has been unplayably bad even when James Harden has been on the bench. Per <a href="https://twitter.com/nbastats">@nbastats</a>: <a href="https://t.co/yhbZYqfhqx">https://t.co/yhbZYqfhqx</a></p>&mdash; Kevin Pelton (@kpelton) <a href="https://twitter.com/kpelton/status/703274481209376769">February 26, 2016</a></blockquote>
    <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

    The "Harden is the reason Lawson sucks" narrative remains hilarious

    I'm SUPER PISSED right now. Cheap ass owner. Why not give Lawson one more year under real coach? Does Le$ expect to keep this joke JBB or sign another Morey's puppet this summer? Lawson would be better than anyone else available if only we had a system where Harden wasn't a PG

    Beat the Blazers and drop a player, makes sense. Can't go winning too many games (wink wink)
