Head Coach Discussion: Canned Ham, Who Is Our New Coach?

I like it personally...but unfortunately you kind of have to work the refs with this stuff. It's part of the HC's job. It works. We've seen it in the past.

 

holding his cards close to the vest I see



sneaky. I like it.

 

Damn good job for a rookie that can only give pep talks and speeches.

 

Coach Ham had another good series. Team was ready to play from tip off and delivered in a must win situation.

 

Good adjustment. DS in the starting 5 allowed us to push offensively, to get back defensively, put more pressure on Steph.

Aside from missing a timeout he should've called during the GS run in the first half, good game by coach.

Heavy minutes, but considering it was our do or die game (weren't going to win at GS in a game 7) and we don't play till Tue, it's the right call.

 

Well, you know. Championship or bust now. Screw Pimple.

 

Ham was a match for Steve Kerr and I thought Kerr did an a great job this series. Kerr scrambled thru 3 different starting lineups till he found a way to attack AD effectively and Ham made the adjustment to go with 3 guards who could attack Steph no matter who switched.
(warrior screaming for Kuminga didn't watch the regular season where the Lakers owned that dude)

Really really impressive and has the buy-in for his team so that he can take players in and out of the rotation without any moping and if you're given minutes you come in ready.

 

Pretty cool of Ham to act like he had never seen a basketball all season and come out like Pat Riley in the playoffs...lol.

 

What gives? Do you guys think it’s someone on his coaching staff that’s pulling these moves? Or was he really playing dumb all during the reg season…

 

he was preparing for the playoffs by playing different combinations he foresaw he's have to use. 4D chess man. Humbled to be in the presence of his greatness.

 

Ham has been excellent, this is who I thought we were getting when he signed.

 

i think he had to play most of the season with russ and pat bev in the rotation. spoelstra can't do that.

he's got enough pieces to work now, and he's doing ok. still think gs's staff seemed a step ahead for most of the series, though.

 

We had a terrible roster to start the year. No one could win with that line up.

we gave Ham some guys who can defend, shoot a bit better, and are taller than 6’4” and the results instantly improved.

this team could’ve quit numerous times but here we are in the WCF.


The level of buy in he has from the whole team is also a feat as he had to incorporate major new pieces in less than half the season.

I could go on but I’ll stop. He’s doing a good job.

 

Can't wait to see Ham go to work this series. I think this will just get progressively more difficult, so this will be super fun to watch.
