Backup PG Watch

Ty Lawson was impressive. 29 points in 27 minutes, 6 assists, 5 steals, 2 rebounds and 1 turnover.
Anthony Carter had 2 points in 30 minutes, 6 assists, 3 steals, 2 rebounds and 3 turnovers.

Combined, AC and Lawson had 31 points, 12 assists, 8 steals, 4 rebounds, and 4 turnovers.

This is when i say i told you so! Ty is the stud. I had goosebumps to see Ty getting the chance that he deserves.

Told you so to who? I think most here already thought he'd be a stud. Or at the least, a ton better than AC.

how did graham play?

will he get consistent minutes this year? I picture him providing melo wih 10-12 min of rest. is this unreasonable?

I noticed he started at SG a few games ago and i guess you guys just wanted to get him some PT with Smith not there for the 7 games but SF or PF is good for Joey. I really hope he does well.

FYI.. joey had one of his best games as a raptor when one of our bigs got injured the other was in foul trouble and we had to put Joey on Emeka Okafor. Joey played Amazing D and played solid on offence. I always thought he was at his best when he was banging down low. But he doesnt have the game to do that effectively in the nba.

Anyways hope he gets some PT this season and ill be checking the boxscore.

I hope to god that Graham doesn't play at all during the regular season.

that bad eh, (hahah so Canadian of me). Can you expand on his role in denver, whatever that may have been. I remember reading a article where Karl was speaking glowingly about Joey.

Preseason games suggest that he'll be doing what Dahntay Jones did... start at the 2 guard and play 9 minutes in the 1st quarter, and 9 minutes the 3rd quarter (yep he'll never play in the 2nd/4th quarter).

Karl has praised his work ethic and defense I think. For me, he's too big/slow to defend 2 guards, and is a real dumbass on the offensive end.

btw I hope this is the rotation come regular season:

Nene (32) / Birdman (16)
KMart (33) / Balkman (10) / Birdman (6)
Melo (35) / Balkman (13)
Afflalo (18) / JR (30)
Billlups (33) / Lawson (15)

thanks for the info.

Ye watch out for what I call the "Jay Gizzle rhythm driblle" ... Jay Gizzle being the name Morris Peterson would call him (at least I hear only Mo calling him that) .back on topic... this is where joey catches the ball around 17 feet out..has plenty of room to do something.. and what does he do.. the 1 driblle shot... usually pretty good though, he needs that rhythm dribble for his shot. Without it he misses more..

Awesome efficiency from Ty Lawson. Only one TO. Carter's the one who's playing reckless and rookie-like.

Carter didn't play terrible last night, he just didn't play as well as the rookie.
