    Shrug..He's been doing that for at least the last 15 seasons now. He never paid Frank any attention either.

    Says you. Frank sucks … Darvin’s the bomb. Look at the standings.

    Meh..Darvin will be sending Frank to Cancun if we meet in the playoffs too.

    Phil said that Kobe was uncoachable once..how did that turn out?

    Lol..you know Lebron didn't even get in Frank's huddles most of the time. Still won a chip.

    Unless we make it to the finals, I think Darvin is done in the offseason.

    The question always is who will be the replacement? There will always be some coaches who get fired at the end of this season for us to look at, or we try to hire the next hot assistant coach (this was Darvin right after Milwaukee won a championship).

    For me, I would consider Budenholzer which may seem counterproductive as Darvin was his a***istant. I think where this went wrong is we were hoping Darvin could duplicate what Bud did in Milwaukee but it’s obvious that he is in over his head.

    Besides Bud and seeing which coach gets fired in a few months, there isn’t a lot of inspiring coaching hires available.

    Yeah, there aren’t a lot of options, but that won’t stop LeBron from insisting he needs a real coach.
    LeBron isn’t leaving, and he will get what he asks for.
    It’s just an obvious decision to remove the guy who is literally holding the team back from being a real contender. All of the evidence has been visible to anyone paying attention.

    Yeah, that's the problem. We have the better team, with our injuries this year vs. the Suns with their's, and healthy top to bottom we're better than them. We ought to beat them. But look at the standings now and what we have to overcome because of the colossally f***** up job Ham did for the first 2/3 of the season. They had two of their 3 stars out for probably close to a third of the season vs us having LeBron and AD remarkably healthy (all we ever needed per you with your Westbrook excuses) and a deeper roster than them and injuries to role players. Frank's a better coach period.

    All I care about, is who is still standing after the playoffs. So we'll see who did what soon enough.

    You see..the major difference between me and you, on this subject is this...If Darvin Ham was fired tomorrow, I wouldn't give a s***, but for whatever reason, you seem to still be in your feelings, because we fired Frank.

    Coaches are a lot more replaceable than the players. This ain't High School or College.

    No just get tired of all the nonsensical takes of yours and firing him was the wrong thing to do.

    Well..maybe NBA GM don't view Vogel as highly as you do either. He didn't get to pick his staff here, Kidd was dictated to him. He didn't get to pick his staff in Phoenix either. He has the highest paid assistant coach in the league, on his staff, also dictated to him. The guy that runs their offense, last I checked, offense is their strength, not defense.

    However Ham picked his own staff as a rookie coach. Sounds like we viewed him in a higher regard than Frank. I'm rocking with the guy here now. If he doesn't succeed, he'll get fired,just like Frank.

    Why didn't he switch AD back on Jokic for crunch time?
    He guards Jokic as good as anyone 1v1 if Jokic gets in the PnR AD is used to guarding it.

    If you're going to have Cam in the game instead of Dlo, he needs to set screens to force Murray into the action. Get Gordon off Lebron and have him take the smaller Murray instead of letting Murray rest on D.

    If you're anti-Ham this threads' for you:

    DLO should have been in with 4-5 minutes left.Cam is only in to defend which wasn’t going to well and he now becomes a liability on offense.Denver only had to cover 4 players which made it very difficult to get good looks.

    This is why we'll never beat Denver in the clutch .. AD shouldn't help here , just make Jokic scores 2 again and again and again from the start of the game and don't give others open shots .

    WE STILL DON'T GET IT AFTER LOSING SEVEN STRAIGHT GAMES AGAINST THEM

    THEIR "ROLE PLAYERS " DON'T MISS OPEN SHOTS AGAINST US IN THE CLUTCH

    STOP HELPING

    I see what he was trying against Murray but Cam isn't 100% yet and wasn't stopping Murray. He picked him up full court which makes him work a bit, but as soon as he got into his half court action he shedded Cam with ease. DLO at least gives us some more offense.

    I would've put AD on Joker earlier in the 4th. I get the idea, but when Joker was getting whatever he wanted AND their other 4 guys were killing us, there's no benefit of AD roaming.

    He does not know how to process what is happening and adjust to it during a game. How can he be this s***ty when he's been around the game so long? Just simple stuff he should have learned as a player, not even talking about coaching experience.
