Ty Lawson looks damn quick in these highlights. DAMN quick. I didn’t know he still had this in him, that move around Boris Diaw was really impressive even considering that Diaw is the slowest player in the league. You have to remember that Lawson was very likely extremely drunk during this contest, which bumps up the impressiveness factor of everything that he did.
Including those stepback midrangers. Nice. Who cares if one of them was probably a travel? I often mourn for the lost art of the midrange game, and it’s good to see Lawson utilizing it effectively, if only for one game. Players these days are so concerned with shooting threes that they don’t even realize that there are fans out there who really just want to see elbow jumpers and baseline pops.
I am really, REALLY regretting not doing that Jason Smith midrange-ilation right now.
