    Today I learned that Pimple Jr is Darvin Ham's knot on his head.

    I would have gone for the win with a B2B in NO ..

    Would have screened for AD , 2020 WCF Game 2 style , he just hit one from the same spot too in this game a couple of minutes before

    Bron as the decoy and then either AD or AR for the win. This dumass.

    Dlo and Cam are both out, does that mean neither are going to be in the starting lineup going forth?

    Of course he did. Well there’s no one other than Austin now to be a non PG off the bench.

    I still worry about creation outside of Bron but this should help with spacing, scoring droughts, outside shooting, getting more Bron/Rui minutes, and getting Rui longer stretches per shift where he can find a nice rhythm.

    Boy that zone defense really works, they’ve hit 10-17 threes at halftime, McCollum has 5 alone, and they put up 74 points. If this moron continues to be the coach I’m not sure we’re even making the play-in.

    Ham played newly 39 year old LeBron 37 minutes in essentially a double header game of a back to back, in a blowout loss. Super smart, great coaching.

    Non healthy teams win games too. Bron, AD, AR & DLO have each played in at least 30 games.

    I knew this was a loss but don't. this is not the time for that excuse.

    You all will come around to what I've been saying for 2 years now. As predicted.

    As the originator, nope. It's Bacon Pimple Sr. and Taurean Pimple Jr.

    This has been a weird season from Ham. Over the first month or two of the season I thought our scheme and set plays were improving, but now that stuff is regressing along with the bizarre lineup and rotation decisions. I understand that the DLo/Reaves backcourt pairing was not working when Reaves was in a slump and Vando/Rui were injured, but now Reaves has bounced back for a while now and the wings have gotten healthier (although now Rui has this calf strain).

    Last year we had a pretty clear identity; 4-out on offense, heavy drop scheme on defense. I think we came into this season wanting to play a little more 5-out to juice the halfcourt offense (right call IMO, even if it has been messy) and incorporate more switching on defense (also the right call, just to have as an option in certain matchups). I think the slew of injuries to the supporting cast messed up that plan and now Darvin is grasping at straws. Continuity was supposed to be a strength for us compared to other teams in the West, but that's out the window now.
