Lawson is Important to the Nuggets' Run

Nuggets star Point Guard Ty Lawson is the best player on the team and it has been obvious these past two games. He has missed the past two games with a bruised heel. Andre Miller has been starting in the games that Lawson has missed and it is obvious that the offense runs like a well-oiled machine when Lawson is playing, but when he isn't, it runs terribly slow and inefficient. 

Lawson provides more than what his averages of 16.9 points and 6.9 assists say. He runs the break, something Miller cannot do, and he can be productive when playing off the ball while Miller has to dribble the air out of the ball in order to be effective. Lawson does not always get assists off of the break, but he facilitates it so well. The Nuggets played better when Julyan Stone played rather than Andre Miller. Stone knew how to run the offense and he played really good defense. 

The offense has simply looked terrible with Lawson out of the lineup and I think the Nuggets will lose if they play against New Orleans with out him. They will definitely lose if the play the Spurs without him. 

If you did not respect what Lawson brought to the team before his injury I am sure there is some respect of his his importance to the Nuggets now.
