    No s***, Sherlock.


    :LLLLLebronlaughing:


    Was this before or after emphasizing the significance of the jump ball defense?


    "Adjustments"?! From this clown on the bench. That's funny. The only adjustment he makes in game involves jewel relocation while his hands are in his pockets.

    We’re not winning anything with this coach, we just aren’t. We’ve largely been winning in spite of him. We’ll be lucky to make the play-in because he f***** around with lineups so much when we had a lot more winnable games. He’s an incompetent coach, he doesn’t prepare the team, he doesn’t call timeouts, he doesn’t use challenges, hell I’m not sure what he does other than spout cliches.

    What exactly was he supposed to do differently tonight? Cam was unavailable, he can't make Austin, and D'Angelo, better 1on1 defenders.

    Double? Trap? And then leave perimeter shooters open? Take them out and the offense suffers?

    Sacramento didn’t get back into the game, or take control of it, because they called timeouts. It's the NBA, teams make runs. You have to play through that, or you will use all 6 timeouts in the 1st half.

    What would you have done differently?

    Call timely time outs to kill the other team’s momentum like a normal competent coach would.

    He did call timeouts Kareem..that didn't stop anything. Because he had to send the same guys right back out there.

    not d***ed around with the lineups early in the season so that losing a game like tonight's doesn't matter that much?

    True but this team still can't win 2 games in a row against good teams and Ham has little to do with it .

    See y'all for the play-in games .

    Yeah. You know, I could definitely discuss coaching moves and things I did or didn't like but my overwhelming thought watching last night was that these guys don't have it.

    I meant when we got that 19 pt lead and it was being whittled down to nothing, he never did call time out then

    Not playing Reddish is just mind boggling if he was available

    You can see in the highlights of when he plays he gets back on D boxes out, etc.

    Instead we got to watch Prince get cooked and he reverted to taking my coach thinks I'm Kris Middleton shot selection

    I wouldn't be surprised if Irwin's sources fed him BS sometimes knowing this guy will repeat anything to gain listeners for his show .

    Not to excuse Ham by any means, but I do feel like there are legit questions on how the medical staff is managing guys and the minute restrictions they are at least supposed to be putting on them. I know Reddish was available but I wonder how he looked and what he might have told Darvin. Reddish is clearly liked by Ham so I was surprised he didn't get any run too.
