Ty Lawson: Curry Was "Chillin on Defense" In The Playoffs 

Post#81 » by RSCD3_ » Fri Oct 2, 2015 12:26 am

Also isn't this his second time making fun of a clearly better player than him's defense

walk with me wrote:I hate

"he's a drunk"
"he was chilling at home"
"this guy is useless"

types of responses... what does that have to do with the FACT that ty lawson pointed out? Steph didn't face a starting PG for the entire playoffs. it oesn't dimish the ring or anything but if everyone is healthy next year things cold look very diferent

Ty is right, it is hard to argue with an expert and Ty is an expert on chilling on defense.

AS for how Curry did in the playoffs, maybe he did not have to face a great PG this year, but he destroyed lawson on both ends a couple of years ago.

Might be worth Houston winning more than a game before talking about winning..considering Houston lost 7 out of 8 vs GS last year.


But before that we beat you guys like 9 out of 12 times or something? Equalized the nba 3pt record? but yeah no point talking trash before even winning one, so I am with you on that.

Back to topic. It's great to see even before the season starts there is already so much hate towards the Rockets. It's like we are a magnet attracting all the most hated players around the league, or once players join us they become hated. Has to be one of those. The level of hatred is insane. It's not even worth hitting back at them.

Lawson, who ranked #3 in apg behind Wall and CP, above Curry Russ Harden. He also created more points off his drive and kick, more than Harden. For those who was questioning what has he achieved. I can tell you, he is better than Trey Burke.

Also, what's wrong with speaking a bit of truth? If players all go 'I love my teammates, I do whatever coach asks me to help the team win, I give 100% on the court, I train to get better every day', would you be happy? Now they speak their mind, they are immediately idiots. Keyboard warriors or page 1 and+1 fishers really need to get a life.

I know, everybody is hating on Lawson like he's some kind of scrub. Lawson is a top 5 point guard in the league


That is arguable when Lawson is not drunk, hungover and actually feels like playing, which does not happen very often in the last couple of years.

He's right. Curry and the Warriors need to repeat, they need to show us more.

Curry didn't face a healthy first string point guard after the first round.

You bash today's players for playing too "buddy-buddy," but then the moment a player talks trash (like Draymond or Lawson in this case), you cry about it.

Make up your damn minds...



Who complained about Dellavedova? It was fun watching him.

Curry, CP3, Wall, Kyrie, Westbrook, Conley, Lowry, Parker, Lillard, Teague, Rose, Rubio, Dragic, Holiday, Walker, Bledsoe, R Jackson, Knight, Jennings, Hill, Rondo. No point listing the rest.

Curry, CP3, Wall, Kyrie, Westbrook surely better than Lawson.
Conley, Lillard probably better, or equal.
Lowry, Teague probably worse, or equal.
Rest all worse.
Even taking health into account we take Kyrie off the list, Lawson is 5 - 10. So yeah 'arguable top 5', about right. Probably 6-8, if you throw his D into the picture.
RealGM loves you, Melissa.

It's not like guys like LeBron and Kobe were guarding the other team's best player.

And the Rockets thoroughly owned the Warriors a couple of years ago.
What is any of that worth today?

The Warriors had the flukiest playoffs of all time last year. Curry, like the entire warriors team, did not have to face any healthy teams.

mudiay will lead the nuggets to the worst record in the west. You're right Lawson couldn't do that.
