Just cannot comprehend in a game like today's, just why Jason Terry is still in the game in garbage time. Lawson will never find his feet with this team this way. Nor will he gain any trade value. Just one of many grievances I could air right now.
Once again if a team clamps down on harden and let others beat them the struggles will be exactly the same as before without adding more dimensions to this offense. It's just too ways to guard especially in a 7 game series
Glad to see I'm not the only one pissed off at the lack of playing time Lawson gets. I really can't stand JB. He's in over his head. Dude has no clue what he's doing and studied under a coach that didn't have a clue what he was doing. But at least McHale got some set rotations. JB has zero rhythm in the game. It's pitiful. Unleash Ty Lawson!
Cause he doesnt know how to make Lawson and Harden work. Harden played a majority of the game, what was Lawson going to do with Harden in???
Lawson had about 6 minutes at the end of the first quarter and the begining of the second quarter. About 5 of that was without Harden on the floor. He produced nothing, the bench produced nothing. He was -10 in that time. I like Lawson, I think he is very talented, but he had an opportunity tonight and was completely ineffective.
Harden was pitiful too. Brewer was -20 for the game. Ariza played poorly. That's no excuse. You've got to give the guy a chance to get his game going. 6 minutes is NEVER enough in any sport, let alone basketball.
Can't believe Harden would not pass the ball to Lawson and let him just sit in the corner. How are they going to coexist if Harden can't/won't play off the ball?
He produced 1 foul so he was actually detrimental since his one foul was his only stat. This board makes too much out of the PF position, we need a AB type of PG who can shot when Harden is on the floor and can run a bench unit when Harden isn't.
Shouldn't he get a chance again in the 2nd half though? Especially with how the rest of the team played as well and how clev was stacking the defense
I agree, but no excuse was given? The guy had a chance to get it going and he has had numerous chances this year. He hasn't been good. I am a fan of the guy, but his play is on him.
True. And that is a complete failure on the part of JB. Harden is a turnover machine. Harden is averaging almost 5 turnovers a game. Lawson has had ONE season with over 3 and most are around 2-3 turnovers a game. When one of the team's greatest weaknesses is turnovers, THEN PUT THE DUDE IN THE GAME THAT CAN HOLD ONTO THE DAMN BALL!!!!!!!! Man it pisses me off. How can they not see this? I mean **** even if Lawson brings nothing to the table scoring, at least he doesn't turn the ball over 5-7 times a game like James.
Yep. And it's on JB for not making him play off the damn ball. Dude needs to watch his film. He turns the ball over all the damn time. Harden is a SG. He has no business playing like a PG. None.
He's played well as of late. I was completely surprised he didn't get a chance to check in during the 2nd half today
I dunno, that is the coaches call. Beverley was playing well, and the team couldn't hit a shot to save its life. Coach decided to put a shooter in instead (Terry) Do you think it would have made a difference? Can't remember those plays specifically, but Capella seems to be a lot more turnover prone than he used to be.
