    I can’t anymore man, I can’t. What are these lineups, you’re playing Schröder and DLo together why? Reaves isn’t a PG, he is STRUGGLING to create for the bench. Vando and Wenyen can’t play together with Beasley, who is supposed to create a shot in that lineup? Then he puts Dennis, DLo, and Reaves on the floor together, 3 guard lineup lives, and he puts Reaves ON Dame!?!? Are you serious man? He doesn’t even try Vando on Lillard once? We aren’t going anywhere with this coach, this team will have to overcome him to win games.

    I get him starting DS while Bron is out and until the new guys learn the playbook. But a night he clearly doesn't have it, he should've started the second half on the bench. We also needed microwave scoring to start the 3rd Q, which would've been a good time to go to Beasley.

    The Spiderman meme lineup to close the 1st Q was something. You have Gabriel/Vando and Beasley/ Walker in the game at the same time.

    2nd unit got murdered tonight. Swap DS with Beasley or Reaves so that Dennis can run the 2nd unit. Beasley would get great looks with the starters.

    this man is a fraud.

    FO should definitely consider firing him if he misses the play-in.

    we've had a lot of struggles this season with the roster, but we shouldn't be worse than teams actively trying to tank.

    I would look to start DLo, Beasley, Vando, LeBron, AD. I don’t think you can start DLo, Beasley, Rui and LeBron together, the defense would be..not ideal. Then off the bench you have Dennis, Reaves, Brown/Walker, Bamba.

    Between Ham, Stotts or Atkinson, any smart team would choose someone who had success in the league just to usher the end of LeBron’s tenure but NO, the front office went with the cute route of giving a long time assistant his chance because they wanted to look good about a hiring rather than to at least compete.

    Lineups are a bit tough at the moment. I know no one liked Westbrook but his play making off the bench is really helped that unit. Schroeder just isn’t that guy, he isn’t going to set up others. So I get why they’re trying Reaves there, but he just isn’t strong enough as the primary ball handler in my opinion.

    Not putting Vando on Lillard was unreal. Reaves at least contested. He initially put Schroeder on him and Lillard just shot over him

    Then on offense they did not go at him at all. Last game Lebron head hunted Lillard out of the game. Lebron outs but with DLo you have to go after him.

    His love of Schroeder and multiple PG lineups is getting frustrating

    Was it me or was Walker just brutal this game? Dumb shot followed by dumb drive. Ham kept him the game forever in the first half.

    They must have agreed at halftime as he didn't see as much PT on the second.

    The drop coverage on top of it in the first just brutal

    blazers went on a 17-2 run at one point in the first half and ham didn't call timeout

    just absolute brain-dead coaching

    Lebron and AD have a 86-47 record together. They've played 28, 21 and 25 games together, over the last 3 seasons though. That might just be the real issue at play here.

    Lakers contests look like the ones from Kornet who jumps while being 15 foot from the shooter
