Ty Lawson on working with James Harden and what Steph Curry wont get away with again..

I agree with what he said.

That being said, I'm more concerned if the NBA actually forced the refs to
watch our games against Golden State and were able to learn what a moving screen is.

 

Don't play defense, Ty. You'll catch Bogut's illegal screens and probably break your hip.

 

lmao.

 

Ty you really made Curry work on defense tonight huh? 0 points in 15 minutes, 1 assist.

 

He disappeared I dunno

 

Man...

I don't think even the biggest doubter of this trade could have predicted this. It is genuinely unbelievable how atrociously useless he is.

 

i forget he's on the team sometimes...until he steps on the court. Then I wish I could forget him again.

 

He just has no confidence out there. Will take the ball at midcourt and look to pass it off. Sad. I thought he was turning the corner too but I guess it was just against the scrub teams.

 

Lawson might be the most disappointing player I've seen in a long time. He fell off really bad. Rob Kardashian of the NBA.

 

Can we leave any "trash who should not be named" references out of this forum...forever?

Maybe Clutch can filter the name like he did with "YOF" for a while.

 

sober lawson sucks

he was better when he was getting them DUIs

someone spike his gatorade

 

Hes a point guard who needs a system and space to be at his best.... with the Rockets ... he is Patrick Bev. Jr.

 

Watch this video. Granted these are highlights.

To me, watching this video, I can tell Lawson's problem this season is not especially related to his role. He looks 5-6 years older this season. I have never seen him show this level of quickness, speed and "zip" since he's been here. He also looks noticeably heavier this season.

Even his stretch of good games were just based on slow careful play. I wonder if not drinking alcohol (if he's in fact not drinking alcohol) is having such a massive effect on him. Maybe he's psychologically dealing with this thing and going through a really tough time. Maybe it's hard that your closest friend is James Harden when you need to stop drinking and you can't light one up either.

I've certainly been disappointed with his play, but I'm inclined to think he's really hurting right now and is trying for the first time in his career to climb himself out of a ditch on a team which is climbing itself out of a ditch.

I still maintain hope that both he will get rejuvenated before the end of the season and the team will let him BE THE POINT GUARD more seriously and more consistently. The guy knows how to attack the basket and create opportunities. He's doing a somewhat decent job at learning how to play off the ball for the first time in his life, learning to be a stand still shooter. Harden couldn't do it, so now Lawson has to do it.

Here's an opportunity for JB to show his coaching prowess if he has it. This is the guy who can win 3-4 extra games for you if you know how to connect with him, know how to motivate him and understand how to put him in a position that benefits both him and the team.

Let's see how it goes, but let's no pretend he's our problem just because we lost to the 2016 GSW on their home court where they're unbeaten and broke a historical record.

 

^ That ty lawson showed aggression I havent seen this season.

 

Ty is still in the league? He needs to go to China league where he belong. He's not making anyone work on Defense

 

That video shows you ..... A. He has alot of space..... the space lets him ge tin paint and find his rolling big men..... B. MOVEMENT. ... his big men moved without the ball and was waiting on the passes..... Capela is bumbles.... Dwight will get a Offensive Foul.... and Montrez cant get off bench

 

All I got from that is some nice assists or passes to teammates that actually know what to do with the rock.

For god's sake- if Capela would destroy the rim with manimal's intensity. Look out

 

Watching that highlight is almost shocking how he moves with the ball. On the Rox it seems like he's about to lose it overtime its in his hands

 

Capela can't even dunk the ball consistently for goodness sake. Killed the game tonight with that BS at the rim...jeez

 

he was pathetic tonight. maybe the 7-0 isn't a coincidence without him.
