    Then stay out of the conversation.

    LOL, don't even know anymore. I cannot deal with these people, if I let myself engage, I would become a blithering a**hole and it completely ruins the fun for me. Much easier to just quit reading them. But it kind of cracks me up watching the one sided arguments. They are actually all over the forum. I know I must be doing something right because I see you all frustrated as hell with someone.

    I’m just concerned that the team won’t be able to have fun anymore

    This is not very good coaching IMO, I agree that he needs to be more involved there. I get that his thing is being calm and such, but that was a big possession.

    He’s just a slow learner. Ask Linda- she knows.

    i'd like to hear his comment on it, though i'm guessing nobody will ask because it would be a bit awkward. i could see him saying that he just trusts schroder to know when to call the TO. but it was weird to watch.

    Fire this MFer already. I said DVD2.0... with the way Kings are playing, it's an insult to Mike Brown, who's gonna win COY.

    Bacon should win best janitor in some school in Idaho.

    Got severely outcoached tonight and then just accepted it. No halftime adjustment.

    Wolves used size on our guards and really pressured the ball handler. Ham was like, cool. No P&R when Gobert first got in foul trouble, no pushing the pace to avoid the smothering half court D.

    He gets a F tonight.

    He should get an F tonight. With a crowbar.

    We got rid of one piece of crap we self-imposed... we need to get rid of another one, or we are not winning anything ...

    Hambone got us again. I've been supporting him but I'm starting to think he just doesn't have coaching instincts.

    Missed most of the game till the end: any synopsis? Sounds like a lot of ball pressure from Minnesota

    Everybody is mentioning coaching so much, there must be something to it. Makes it tough when you decide to sign a guy for 4 years to cut bait in year 1. Hopefully the best is yet to come.

    I have many issues with Darvin Ham.

    But maybe the “something to it” is the fact that coaches are always easy scapegoats. And that narratives around coaching deficiencies are easy to go viral, even when a majority of fans don’t truly understand what goes into coaching at this level.

    I would bet good money that the same people calling for Ham to get fired and acting like we made a mistake by letting Vogel go… would be calling for Vogel’s head right now if we had kept him.

    Well..we are playing without D'Angelo and Lebron. I mean that's 76 million dollars of talent not available.

    Yeah it's going to tough without Lebron and DLO. Not enough scoring and not enough playmaking.

    We just have to tough it out with AD leading the way.. Folks complain about the roster, then complain about the head coach not winning games, without our best players. Role players are role players for a reason. Some nights the matchups might be in thier favor, some nights they won't be. It's the stars that are expected to perform at a high level in every game. That's why they are stars.
