    So are a lot of dudes such as Rui/Kawhii/etc but the dude is 38 and simply does not have the reps nor the mental makeup of a center. Plus those two are definitely bigger than lebron in terms of mass who has dropped weight as his playing career has progressed.

    He didn't score 40 so unfortunately he didn't earn Brooks's respect

    Really good game on both offense and defense. The missed dunk was bad though: 5 point swing.

    Otherwise, Ham can't play a 38 yo guy the entire 4th quarter. He looked gassed and you need to take him out for 1-2 minutes

    Yup. It's such an easy adjustment. Give Bron a rest around the 7:00 mark in the 4th, put in this lineup: DLo/Reaves/Vando/Rui/AD, then after 2+ min depending on how that lineup is doing, sub out Vando for Bron and close it out.

    Instead, Ham plays Bron the entire 4th Q for 2 straight games now, ignoring him clearly being gassed, and Bron ends up -6 in a game where we're up by 15+ most of the game and win by 10. That's pretty hard to be so - in a game like this, and it's mainly Ham's fault.

    Screw Bacon Pimple.

    But also.. some of Bron's decisions in clutch are mindblowing for a player of such a high IQ. ISO while gassed. Pass out. Let AR do his thing.

    Great first half performance but dude looked gassed at the end there. Those lazy passes still bother me so much though.

    Hopefully Ham doesn't play him for entire quarters. He no longer can do that effectively.

    Steven Adams out there banging, and throwing bodies around, might have tired him out some?

    Maybe try reading the thread or watching the games better?

    Adams hasn't played since January.
