I think this is important for Ham particularly with our record at this point. Support in the locker room will be crucial for him moving forward.
Yeah we got the win, but there were some absolutely head scratching lineups out there. We actually ended up pulling away right afterwards, but there was a moment in the 4th where the Pistons were still within reach and then Ham subbed in Westbrook and Beverley while Reaves remained on the bench. I was very worried that would lose us the game. It didn’t… they subverted my expectations and played well enough. But I still think it was a bad decision. I just don’t get why Beverley has such a big leash.
Some questionable decisions. My biggest issue.... We get all their bigs in foul trouble. To the degree they are cycling back through with the bigs who only have 2 fouls in the 1st Q. Our response to start the 2nd was to go with the smallest lineup in the NBA. Well, they at least punished them with shooting, right? No. With pressure D? Detroit actually went on a run. With great ball handling?... I mean you had 3 PGs out there. No, we actually coughed it up multiple times. Awful! f***ing awful. Never want to see that 3 PG lineup. Two of them are not NBA players at this point (even with Nunn's 10 points) .
yeah, i haven't seen enough of the most recent games to pinpoint the differences, but we were playing well on that end early, and it gave me hope. the slippage on that end has been pretty discouraging.
I think Ham is slowly finding his way but when Lebron comes back if takes Austin out of the starting line up and leaves PB in I will start having serious doubts again.
Okay coach. We need to start having some line up discussions and lets remember AD is the one that needs the ball. Thank you.
Wenyen with 4 guards=20 pt lead evaporated but we probably have not seen the last of such line up with old Bron at center
Yep, TB is playing too well to get a DNP. Unless his plan was to give him a heavy dose on tonight's end of the back to back. I guess we'll see.
Needs to use TO's better: always seems to call them a few possessions too late. Also late game offense: come on now run some PnR with Reaves as the ballhandler
Dumkopf and Russ should not be in together to close a game. They are the dumbest non clutch players on the team in that situation. Well Beverly would be as well I guess.
