    well obviously indy eventually thought he wasnt a good coach n orl, well you guys blame the roster...the bubble chip team couldve coached themselves, ad/bron were at their peak....we'll see if Vogel gets another job to verify if hes good or not

    Sure Kh …. just for you he can duplicate another five seasons and a 2nd ring to make sure if he’s any good. Great take. Let’s see if he can get another job and do it all over.

    Ok, now! Wow, Ham with the great starting lineup and moving DS to the bench! That was awesome. I am blown away and look — a pretty easy win. More of this, coach.

    Yes, good stuff from Ham. I hope he will keep his starting line up and not be changing every time we hit a little bump. Nice job overall. Pick up Dlo's minutes just a bit and cut down those long bench stretches. One of Lebron, AD or Dlo should always be in the game till it has been decided. Overall though much much improved. Picking up speed for those still hesitant to jump on. Don't wait too long...lol.

    Yup, my one nitpick of last night is that it feels like DLo sits for a really long team. He basically played the first 6 minutes and last 6 minutes of each half. I'd like to see him get a little more than that as well.

    OK am with you …. with the miracle of life and good health if we can get into the playoffs we can do this.

    Will take MVP level AD to neutralize the other MVP type bigs and a healthy LBJ. But all the tools are there. Rob has parted the Red Sea for us to get there. :clap: :D

    Ham is learning!!!
    I agree with having DLo get more burn.
    I would love to see theVandilorian get more minutes as well. His intensity is infectious!

    He did a great job with the lineup switch - thank god!

    HOWEVER - in his post game he said we still might see dennis/DLO together.

    This guy is truly sick to even THINK of that possibility after what we saw last night.

    It's SO clear that Dennis needs to lead the 2nd unit!

    Oh god if he does again …. duct tape him to a chair with beefy headphones on and cue up Nancy Kerrigan’s “WHYYYY” wail to 120db on a loop for six hours!

    It should depend on the matchups. They were very effective against Golden State.

    Amazing way to close before the AS break. Can only give us hope.

    Glad we took the W, this is definitely the way to go

    I’m not gonna credit Ham with that line up change, it’s more Pelinka putting his foot down despite the promise of non interference :giggle:
