    Not sure there’s a more clear example of why Prince should be coming off the bench and playing 10 to 15 minutes a game than tonight.

    Just do the right thing Darvin. Lol

    Such a joke of a HC.

    -Prince starting on Curry
    -No timeouts to finish regulation
    -Vando in the final offensive play of OT
    -Rui getting fewer minutes than our very own Tony Snell...I mean Prince
    -TP gets inserted for the final play of 2 OT. Right idea, wrong player. I get wanting a shooter in (should've had one in to close the 1st OT), but TP is on an 0'fer. Rui had another perfect shooting night, maybe call his number. Max split his shots, try him.

    Nobody had any chance at guarding Curry..especially AD.

    We won the game..Kerr must be a complete idiot. He's lost 5 out his last 7 games against Ham.

    At some point you'll realize results aren't all that matter. Process matters. Check Bucks. Good talk.

    9 to 15 minutes too many my friend. Lol

    particularly coming into the third quarter. Should have kept the same lineup we closed the second quarter with. The stats were clear tonight. Prince was bad.

    And for the record
    - I’m glad we won
    - I think Prince is fine as a player but shouldn’t be starting
    - I’m not sold on a coaching change just yet based on reasons I’ve given a few times.

    Vando is healthy. Start him.

    The Bucks haven't won anything yet with their new coach. They won't win anything losing 5 out of 7 to the C Bags with him either. Terrible nonsense talk. lol

    That dude took 2 shots all game, 24 mins is 24mins..it was still a double overtime game. Prince gets entirely too much blame, pointed in his direction, he's not the source, of all that ills this team. The narrative has overtaken reality on that guy IMO. I'd start Vando too, by sending Austin back to the bench tho.

    You're missing the point entirely. Doc is an awful hire and an awful HC. BUT that doesn't change the fact that regardless of results, there was an issue with process from their coach. They identified that and canned him. Whatever happens with Doc is a completely separate topic.


    That's simply not reality. Do you see Prince as our primary POA defender? Starting. Do you see him guarding the best shooter in the history of the game. On purpose. That was our game plan. It's one thing if we didn't have anyone else. We do. We've seen what Vando has done against him on the biggest stage.

    I like Prince. Great get by Rob. But Rob might have to ship his a** out to save Ham from himself. Hate the role and usage. Ham has blinders on and sets him up for failure and puts him in a role that no other coach has ever put him in during HIS ENTIRE CAREER and for good reason. He's a backup who plays 20-24 minutes and can start a game here or there if injuries hit.

    For the love of God this guy does some stupid s***.
    Please play Vando with AR/Reaves.

    That man played 24 minutes man..Vanderbilt played 41, and he couldn't do s*** with Curry either. It's not like he scored all his points on Prince or something.

    Doc sucks, the Bucks will find out soon enough. I will be surprised if they do better than their winning percentage before they hired Doc. They won't be headed to the Finals this season with Doc. The process is flawed in that experiment IMO.

    Well damn..over 40 mins apiece isn't enough? We barely eeked it out, should they have played 50?

    -22 vs +30. That is a FIFTY-TWO point swing. I repeat. FIFTY-TWO. The Lakers did FIFTY-TWO points better with Vando on the court instead of Prince. That is insane.

    What will Ham learn from this?

    Nothing.

    He won’t learn a damn thing because he’s incapable of learning.
    I think he has surpassed MDA as my least liked Laker Coach of all time.
    This is an extraordinary feat considering I really, really, really, really, didn’t like Antoni.

    That didn’t age well to put to rest what you’re sick of hearing. Look who impacts the game in a way that Prince can’t. He can’t carry Vando’s jock the way he’s been playing the past 3-4 games since closer to fully back from his heel injury. Jarred is a much higher impact player. Plus he has grown as a player who makes an impact on offense in numerous ways whether he shoots a three or not. Like tonight. And has put on a lot of lean muscle up top since last season. Start him he’s earned the right to have a shot at it again. No one works harder out there or gives more of their body.

    https://www.nba.com/game/lal-vs-gsw-0022300650/box-score

    You are seriously too much to have watched that game and looked at the box score and coming back into this discussion on who is more impactful both sides of the ball in the lineup with LeBron, AD, DLO and AR …. between Prince and Vando and tell us the blue sky outside is really lime green.

    :LLLLLebronlaughing:

    Even Numbnuts finally figured it out!! Whether Jarred did any better on superstar Steph Curry or not. Swear to G! And NO!! Keep DLO and AR together! Vando allows it. You’re the guy who was preaching forever D was overrated and now days you need to score the ball. Did you flip flop there now?

    HOW CAN YOU BE SO STUBBORN????
    This is really ridiculous. What is he trying to prove? My god. At least now the media caught up to it and everyone knows it, hopefully it pressures him to do the right thing.

    I just can't understand why some coaches have these cases. Falling in love for players and stubbornly don't do the things everyone is seeing. I'm ok if it's a Spo, Pop or Phil because they are genuises and have accolades to back it up. Ham ain't that so I just don't get it
