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

He was an assistant under Budenholzer , it's all you need to know .

I won't waste my time complaining about the rotations anymore

We ain't beating the Warriors with him , that's a given


PS : Look at our 2nd most used lineup in this series and its net rating

Bud is as good as gone in MIL, he was BAD this series, last game especially. I would send Ham their way and hire Nurse.

 

I knew this a long time ago. We will not win a chip with Ham as our HC. The food chain of inexperienced goes all the way up. Why would you hired a rookie as the Lakers head coach? Because Ime did well with the C Bags? Look at their roster, who wouldnt do well with them.

Ham needs to go, the reason he was hired was to make it work with Russ, now that we dont have Russ anymore, it is time to let Ham go.

 

I dont think they want Ham. I second the idea of hiring Nurse. I know this wont happen, but i wouldnt mind if they bring Vogel back. Maybe as an assistant.

 

Holy hell wtf was that kind of coaching.

CALL YOUR TIMEOUTS

PLAY TT OR BAMBA WHEN WE’RE GETTING OUT-REBOUNDED

STOP PLAYING MALIK AND TROY

 

I had a few groaning moments during the game but this for me was the big one. I believe that if we road this surge longer we would have won. Memphis had cracked and if we had gone on to build a lead they would have folded. It was a huge blunder and we paid for it. We need to come out and take that feeling of we can do this away from early in game six. Rotations in games have to be flexible enough to meet the need of the moment.

 

It would be throwing him into the fire. But it can't be much ugly than we've seen from some of the bench.

 

And it wasn't even AD's time to sub out yet - not even in DarvinWorld.

He came out at 4:10 in this game. Here's where he came out in the 3Q in the 1st 4 games:

G1: 2:25
G2: 1:10
G3: 0:00
G4: 3:09

 

Mo just has to stand under the basket and extend his arms high like the chief to prevent Memphis lay up drill after AD goes out.

 

Good work. That is even more astonishing.

 

Warriors looked very, very dangerous last night. I think the rest of the West is in trouble.

 

Oh, i agree, Ham is a worse version of Bud. If we beat MEM and then GSW... we can hire Kerr probably

 

Ham, AD has already offered to play 48 tomorrow. No excuses for dumb subs tomorrow.

 

We can all whine about substitutions, but the guys in the game have to perform. You don't just yank rotation guys because a team goes on a run, that's part of the game. When Lebron is off, it's imperative that other guys besides AD step up their scoring...like D'Angelo, Rui and Austin. That's not always happening, especially last night.

 

You do if they shouldn't be rotation guys, our rotation is too deep as it is and the minute distribution isn't making much sense.

Rui's minutes didn't make any sense last night and it cost him a chance to find a good rhythm.

Beas and Brown either need to be DNP's or have their minutes cut in half at the very least.

AD did not play enough minutes. When he's playing that well and it's clearly a game Bron has zero energy, AD needs more than 35 minutes.

Also timeouts help with runs. Ham doesn't like them. That's not great.

 

Ham decides who's in the rotations or not, he knows his team. I don't have a problem with it, basketball is a give and take game. We are up 3-2 so he's doing a lot right. Memphis may be missing two role players, but their stars are showing up. I think Austin and Rui have played pretty well in this series. D'Angelo and Malik have both been subpar. I'm cool with benching Malik for more size, D'Angelo however has to step his game up IMO. I believe Lebron will bounce back tomorrow night, but moving forward, D'Angelo is going to have to play better if we are to advance.

 

Ham needs social media so I can send him over all these progressive ideas. But I guess it's hard to scroll with your hands in your pockets at all times.

If I may piggyback on this:

Game 5 . . .

Austin Reaves on (40 mins): +5
Austin Reaves off (8 mins): -22

Sometimes it really is simple.

 

Maybe the Simpleton will figure it out?
