    Worst starting backcourt in the league

    What the f*** is this, Darvin?!


    Some more lineup data
    Crunch time numbers... not good

    We can do this. Troy Brown is due to have a big scoring game eventually.

    He's scored 9 or fewer in over 190 of his 248 games. I don't think he is. That's not his game.

    Just when you thought Vogel was stubborn with his ineffective 3 guard lineups, Darvin says, “hold my beer”. Rob please trade PatBev for a wing in order to save Darvin from himself.

    ham seems like a great dude, and i think it's part of why we haven't completely unraveled.

    that said, yes, please take away his security blanket in bevs. i get why he plays him, tbh. you have to take it out of his hands.

    Coaches can be incredibly stubborn. People harp on something and they dig in and refuse to change. It is the "I will show you" approach...lol.

    He seems to be making a lot of basic lineup mistakes: it's not like he doesn't see them??
    Against the BUcks and to finish the game against the Celts he totally ditched small ball.
    He's also slowly but surely move away from Russ in the 4th quarter

    But the starting lineups, come on they are joke even with healthy AD and Lebron!. And last night he had a lineup without Shroeder or Lebron in there before the game got out of hand - just not going to work w/o Reaves. Yeah he doesn't have a lot of options when Lonnie is getting beat backdoor but that move basically cost the Lakers any chance of making it competitive. By featuring Bevs too, it seems to have impacted Brown and Walker who just aren't playing as well since Bevs have been prioritized.

    Still this 3 guard thing seems to get used a lot around the league. I don't like it, but I recognize that it can be effective at times.i just think that Darvin, and Frank before him, use it too much some times. I still can't get over Houston, going all in on a starting 5 of 6'7 and under guys. I prefer big teams..like our bubble squad and the Bucks championship team. Then Darvin comes in with the same idea...SMH

    Can you please f***ing start Reaves: you're third best player already.

    Just putting the Lakers holes either to start the game or the third or both: team doesn't have enough talent to go along with bad lineup decisions

    Seriously, WTF is Ham doing with these 1st and 3rd quarter starting lineups? What is it gonna take for Reaves to start? We spot the opposition 10 points every game.

    we ended the game with no Center and Schroder, Bev and Russ on the floor.

    none of them can shoot or defend a lick

    Ham is horrible. Vogel got zero breaks for his roster so Ham shouldn't either.

    And Schroeder missed an open 3 to win the game. Lebron at C just bleeds points and no Gabriel in the last defense possession

    I think the players try to play hard but losing would grate on those performing and sitting in crunch time.
