    ham seemed like he wanted to channel phil jackson before he'd ever won anything. the job was too big for him.

    Yeah I think this summarizes Ham's tenure with us.
    It was a gamble and didn't work. Hope JJ does

    He thought he was ready. But that thought soon got caught up in a little knot on his forehead, and there it stayed.

    Turns out he wasn't ready.

    It was one of those small pimples he kept squeezing that don’t pop and just got bigger maybe? If he’d have just left it alone we could have beaten Denver and won that chip two seasons ago. Slick will dispute this and put it all on DLO but that’s what really happened IMO. :giggle: ;)

    Doc stanning for him and parading out the IST title to justify his value.

    This was a pretty fun watch, I had forgotten just how bad it got at times. Ham’s love for Prince is a love that knew no bounds, transcended season and team to continue in Milwaukee.

    Tremendous. It's a bit of a watch but this guy delivers it so well just laying out what actually took place (@Slick :cool: ) with matter of fact emotion and perfectly supporting clips; to remind everyone of the timeline with surprising, if you like me hadn't heard some of them .... public responses by Ham to defend that insanity. And LOL with the cameos by A. Irwin. :D

    I had completely forgotten that it was reported he was going to finally start Vando before that one game and then boom, gametime comes and there’s Prince still in the lineup. Ham was such a clown and a troll.

    Meh...water under the bridge now..but everybody doesn't see things in the same way. I saw some players sphincters getting tight in crunch time , late in games against the good teams, especially Denver. You saw what you saw.

    LOL you and your poorly chosen devil’s advocate cases are funny …. they really are. You definitely see things differently. Who the **** was that you put up in rebuttal saying it was LeBron’s fault. Oh yeah that trumped the other 15 minute documented timeline presentation. Your observational powers are either highly suspect or it’s more likely as I said earlier Occam’s Razor time and you’ll just never concede you were wrong.

    I was wrong about Castleton getting better and becoming good for us. It doesn’t really hurt …. my bad!! Try it some time.

    The same unknown fan in both cases. An opinion is an opinion. I don't give a s*** about being " right" on a fan message board. That obviously means more to you than me. I said what I said, I'm still standing ten toes down on it too.

    The players deserve most of the credit when we succeed, and they deserve most of the blame when we fail.

    He was a two way player to begin with. That's not some kind of big deal.

    Geez watching that video pisses me off. Ham deliberately torpedoed our chances of success last year. I'm so glad he's gone.

    Ham was bad last year but I don’t think he was the worst in the league or anything. The rotation and lineup stuff was awful but the offensive sets were pretty damn good (even though we didn’t go to organized offense nearly enough), to the point that JJ seems to have kept a lot of last year’s playbook.

    I’m just glad we have JJ. I’ve liked what I’ve seen/heard so far and he seems to have the buy-in from the whole roster. I think it will be a significant upgrade.

    Malone echoed similar sentiment...

    Their sharpshooter is out, but when he's back, he may find he's fallen out of favor due to Ham's love of Prince. It's really inexplicable. What incriminating evidence does this man have on Ham???
