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

Im saying even someone like you, can coach this team better than Ham. Calm down KD, with the burner account lol.

 

One important adjustment I wanted to point out and give credit for: Rui was the first sub in. Not Brown or Beas. Not Dennis the safety blanket. But from that (mistake) DNP to being the first sub in for game 1 of the playoffs on the road. That's a huge swing and learning situation for Ham and man did that call pay off tonight.

 

that was the best i've seen him play on offense, tbh. hit some very tough shots.

i thought we gave up the switch too easily on him, and memphis was doing anything it could to get AD off jjj. again, i guess it worked out ok, but if he's killing us, we need to find ways to keep AD attached to him before sending a double, imo.

 

This was his best game as a coach - made all the right subs and had solid rotations.

Most imporrtantly, he played Rui A LOT which is what he SHOULD have been doing but better later than never.

 

Never understood any Laker fan being a “Vogel hater.” He had his flaws, but he also is our last Championship Coach. SMH.

 

Ham is future HOF'er. I've been calling it.

 

he took the fall for injuries and the westbrook trade. simple as that.

 

Vogel was a great defensive coach and was appreciated by the players ( not an easy task to have a good relationship with Rondo).

Championship in his 1st season ( our 1st in TEN SEASONS) then 1st in the West until Bron and AD got hurt

The 3rd year wasn't his fault , but the FO once , midgets on the roster who can't defend and trading for a guy who wants to fight fans over a nickname.

Vogel always will be a Laker who counted in the franchise history

 

Would take Vogel over Pimple so quickly...

Side note: DVD is living his dream. Took him what? 10 years and a mini-Jokic?

So, assuming Ham is as smart, in potential, I am going to hate that upcoming decade.

 

After watching some of our defense on Jackson we can clean some stuff up pretty easily. We need to commit if we double. He can't be allowed to split our doubles or spin around the back side. We also mixed up some screens and gave him some get rolling buckets. Thing is though we really dug in when we needed to. This game is ours for the taking. I just hope we want it bad enough to take it.

 

Does he still give post game press conferences with his head down looking at the stats sheet?

Never forget HE was the coach that prompted THIS ….

 

Is it too late to bring back Frank?

 

For what? He is unemployed for a reason

 

Game 2 rotations and adjustments were deplorable. The long stretch where he played Troy Brown and Beasley was the beginning of the end. Ham needs to give Thompson some run at the 5 and put AD at the 4. Tillman and JJJ are tag team beating him down.
