    You can’t really tell about the capability of this team until Trevor Ariza returns from injury.:giggle:

    We're not in a position to have a coach who has to learn how to be a head coach.

    Ham will be a good coach. He's not one today.

    Will he?

    A big problem in the NO game was that they kept losing the ball off stupid TO's or trying to force passes across the paint against teams with length.
    Same thing happened tonight.

    One would hope that after the NO he would have emphasized ball control and swinging the ball outside of the paint but to me it was an eerie duplicate

    SGA had 4 fouls early and I would think you would tell Lebron to hunt him out on the picks but they didn't.

    Wouldn't you at least try to get AD going by giving him post touches.

    He seems like a decent motivator and the players want to play for him but man he's got a lot of things to work on IMO.

    It’s criminal Wenyan and Max and JTA got zero minutes today. Any game. Considering the performance and the limitations of some of the guys on the floor. The young energy and size and heart and defense and offense we could be adding out there. Did Austin tweak his hammy again … anyone know why he only got like 6 minutes or whatever?

    Eff Ham …. garbage use of the roster, unwillingness to try any other guys, keeps losing games and changes nothing game after game after game.

    Walton would handle that roster infinitely better. Don’t care if an exaggeration. I’d bet money on it if he saw what we see Ham doing with it.

    I think he will. I think if he was in Atlanta, Portland, Philly, New York; he'd be fine. Lot less pressure.

    Can't take away from him getting through to Russ. I think the guys like him. He's a good motivator. Good at developing (they say).

    He's a bad in game coach. No adjustments. Awful lineups. No 4th Q comprehension. Timeouts... what are those?

    I also think he wishes he was 4 inches shorter and is trying to live vicariously through these dwarf lineups.

    Not saying Luke was better (he wasn't), but I think Luke was more ready to be a NBA coach and I didn't expect that.

    I miss scapegoat Frank.

    1) lulls? 46 minutes of no defense is more than a lull
    2) you don't admit that
    3) what is the excuse for the 4th? You know, after Bron broke the record

    He’s so bad. I hope this is the last we ever see this lineup again. WHY do you have Pat Bev on Giddey? You don’t think Max would handle that assignment a little better?



    Also, yeah, this is basic stuff

    LOL … yeah you and me both Doc! Preach. Where’s Kurt when the coach “truly” needs to get an earful? Oh right only Vogel got that treatment and Ham can fail with no intervention to his heart’s content with his inexplicable use of the roster.

    Yeah, this is bad, this was a mistake hire looking back. Ham may be a good coach some day like JSM said, but yeah he’s not ready for this right now. Looking back a more established coach should have been the guy to add stability, maybe Stotts was the guy, if only for a few years.

    I thought his strength was his defensive prowess? This guy just isn’t very good. Please convince me that Vogel wouldn’t have done a better job with this roster.
