    Why is he not putting a big on Senguin when AD fouled out?? This team is totally dependent on AD as the lone big. Why wouldn't we just sign Biyombo or Thompson?? I'm not seeing where Hayes or Wood help us..

    Wood actually played well: just can't buy a 3 otherwise did his job.

    no idea why he challenged that AD offensive foul to end of the half. no way the refs were going to overturn that despite it looking like a flop.

    I also didn't get the 4th quarter lineup when he randomly put in Hayes. Can't play Hayes, Reddish, Dlo, Rui, and Lebron and expect to score.

    Not one of Ham's better coaching jobs although he settled into a good closing unit

    He's terrible in rotations and minutes allocation .

    Reaves 25 minutes

    Prince and DAR who were horrible : 24 minutes

    LMFAO

    Yeah I'm just frustrated with the shooting mainly. Lebron had to score every basket until Reaves made that three at the end. I'm sick of guys NOT being able to make open shots once they have a Laker jersey. Geez...

    Wood should have been on Senguin. No more Rui and Lebron at center. That hasn't worked dating back to last year. Ham is a clown with that.

    Guys gotta hit open looks..there were plenty to be had. Hopefully they'll shoot better in the next game.

    Some role players aren't comfortable with not touching the ball at all unless it's to shoot an open shot..

    A lot of time wasted on the perimeter until we get into our sets , if we get into one ..

    We play with ZERO tempo

    Aboslutely r******* subsitution putting Hayes in. I agree there.

    Ham could have cost us this game but we are lucky to pull it out

    No excuses for a stalled out offense down the stretch.

    Ham is also the worst at challenges. I see coaches across the league winning challenges but he always loses his.

    Do better

    Ham has to chill on his love affair with Prince. If the guy goes 1-11 he shouldn’t get all the minutes he’s getting.

    Should have called timeout after that Kyrie three.

    Poor coaching trapping Luka as well. Let the roles players dice us up. When we stopped the Mavs couldn't score.

    d****** said he reserves his timeouts to rest LeBron, the time to rest was when we’re leading by 2 and have the ball less than a minute left

    Dlo can't guard a traffic cone. Ham got stuck because they made the run with Hayes playing well and so he tried to keep him in with AD. Offense started suffering for obvious reasons but I don't blame Ham as Luka the rest of the game was just getting anywhere he wanted except when Lebron was on him. This one really was due to not having Cam or Vando IMO

    My issues with Ham
    1) went away from Lebron guarding Luka which led to Dallas finally getting some buckets (Lebron tweaked a knee?)
    2) this team does not guard the 3 point line at end of games when they are up 2. Makes no sense: they've lost 3 games which should have gone into OT
    3) not calling TO to give Lebron rest: some people are defending this but Lebron clearly ran out of gas as well as AR
    4) not having Lebron ready if AR got pressured: this was especially dumb as every team presses AR now when he at point.

    Yeah: this made no sense. Both Lebron and AR were gassed. Use those TO's to get them a breather man

    He’s a flipping NBA Head coach. Not having at least five different end of game plays ready is inexcusable.
