    One of the worst pairings Ham trots out. Repeatedly. On purpose.

    You say that with such certainty.

    Sounds like D'Angelo and Rui aren't happy with their playing time. The question is, have their play warranted the scale back? AD is subtlety reminding Rob, that he wants more time away from the 5. Lebron is wishy washy as usual, if we are winning, he loves the team, if not, there are problems aplenty, but he's not one of them.
    Lol..coaching in the NBA is a tough job, win or get fired, regardless of the excuses.

    He would just be a stopgap.
    Ham is a big problem.

    Yes lol like I said about Ham when people were fawning over his hire, there was a reason he was an assistant coach for 15 years who no team thought of hiring as a head coach.

    Ham seems to lack any abilities to adjust, this team consistently start slow (not sure how many times they've lost 1st qtr and 3rd qtr)....he just doesn't know what the team needs to do defensively, most team consistently get wide open, still cant defend PnR and drive and kick, as well as poor transition def

    I know Dlo has been struggling, but swapping him for Vando doesn’t make sense

    You’d essentially be going back to Lebron at PG, but have him surrounded with only one shooter in Prince? Vando and Reddish together would make the offense completely inept IMO

    Unless there are some other changes to the lineup too (ie maybe Austin comes back into the starting lineup for Cam), this would feel like a desperate change for the sake of making a change

    Aha! Darvin has decided to go with his 4 best defenders and Lebron. I imagine that the Kang, won't be able to loaf as much on D, without it being pointed out on National TV. We might see the best D from Lebron all season tonight. Lol...It will probably last for 3 games.

    Makes sense against OKC, he's going big like Lamar suggested it seems. The ability to switch everything is intriguing. It might get AD more shots too , if Taurean doesn't go all Steph Curry mode. I don't think we'd play that lineup for the majority of the game though.

    How can you win two playoff series without knowing how to make adjustments man? Can't comprehend how to play defense? The Lakers had the best D in the Western Conference playoffs.

    Lol..you are just throwing s*** against the wall in order to see what sticks now yourself!

    OK, he figured something out today. He reads the forum, obviously. Please stay with this rotation, bring the Big 3 (Bench Mob) later: Dlo/AR/Rui.

    Good on Hamster for mixing things up with the starting lineup.

    Rui should average 30 minutes a game and Austin 32 .. TP should never play more than Rui

    Self inflicted wounds
