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

Lebron only cares about what happened in the playoffs dude. Do you think he really gives a s***, about the regular season record? I bet if he was asked that question, he would say so too.

 

Devil's advocate extraordinaire .... you're amazing with your ability to see things no one else can to prop up your takes. It didn't need to be this desperate and this hard and this dangerous where 1 loss can eliminate us.

 

Just win baby! Winning shuts everybody up. Except the Laker haters, they will always find something else to yap about.

 

You can't understand that how you finish, is more important than how you start? Shame on you ,for trying to be negative, in the midst of our best run of hoop all season!

Get on the train buddy! You still have time!

 

I'm positive as hell about our team and our players but do NOT want this coach back again doing the same stupid stuff so often over and over that he has done for two seasons. Why with this much talent and AD and Bron healthy and only role players injured (there all interchangeable, right, according to you with those two healthy) ... are we fighting for our lives here headed for one game elimination trial by fire.

 

Aw..man up dude. This coach got us to the Conference Finals last season. All these perceived, slighted players, are having one of, if not the best seasons of their careers.

Lebron, AD and Vincent, are the only guys that's ever even been to the Conference Finals, without Ham as their coach.

A bunch of nonsense, grumbling, going on right now IMO.

Yeah..If Lebron and AD, had played better against Denver and Sacramento this season, we wouldn't be having this conversation either. So I'm not crying over spilled milk.

 

There are the strangest conversations on here. Crazy uncles and cousins everywhere.

 

Who still thinks Ham will f*** this chance to move up unless LBJ overrides his stupidity?

 

Winning a championship with the worst head coach in the league.

Lebron's greatest achievement if we pull it off.

 

It probably would be lol



he would probably improve his case for GOAT if that happened

 

If Ham is the worst coach in the league, coaching is totally irrelevant.

 

Rotations are looking good and hope he’s got his **** together with that finally. We are deep! Make use of it. Team’s playing great.

 

I know we were really limited with our options out there, but I think he made a few errors that probably wouldn't have changed the outcome but would've given us a better shot than the one we had.

1) The Prince, Austin, Cam lineup before AD went out was rough. I saw it in real time last night, but can't find who posted it, according to cleaningtheglass their numbers as a group aren't very good. You need either Spencer or DLO in there instead of one of those three.
2) No Castleton or Giles? In the second half when Jaxson needed a breather, he needed to give one of those a shot. We were way too small. Can't expect Rui to battle in the post alone against their size.
3) Stagger. That's the problem with starting Spencer, who did great as a starter especially in the first half, is you're going to have clunky second units when both he and DLO are sitting. Austin can man the spot when his 3 ball is falling, but it's not and he's not getting any space because there is no AD or Bron to pull defenders away.

 

Stop playing Reddish , he never came back from his high ankle sprain .

 

He deserves to be fired just for wasting the assets Rob tries his best to give him from the budget that he has to work with. Because as Toklat was saying from the start of the season give Castleton enough burn off the deep bench frequently enough, as a 2-way, and actual coaching and development to see if he can help by the end of the season. Giles has been here what almost a month now and all he gets is garbage time or the quickest of hooks. He doesn't have big picture player development smarts. Same thing when Rui was finally back from his several stints on the disabled list and no real give a s*** from Ham to get him back up to speed and knock the rust off to the level he showed he could play at last year. BEFORE spending the whole summer almost traveling with Handy expanding and polishing his game. Just gave him the under 18 minute games instead .... couldn't be bothered. I still think, well it's obviously too late now, that Castleton could have been brought along (told he needs to run faster, hustle his a** off) and encouraged to be aggressive rather than fearful to do anything other than be completely conservative and try not to get yanked immediately.

 

Lol..Castleton and Giles are both garbage dude. Might as well play Lebron or Rui at 5.

 

Currently that's correct, although Castleton's limited development does fall on the coaching staff. Giles has jumped around, but the one game he saw double digit minutes this season he did have 11 & 6 against the defending champs. That's not nothing. He's also 6-10/6-11 (varies per site), 240 lbs. They offer up size against one of the bigger teams in the league when we were grasping at straws in the front court. There was one play Gobert got a triple tap at the rim because he's got 7 inch wingspan advantage over Rui.

How can you play Bron when he wasn't with the team for this one? Please share.

Those two options are vastly better than playing lineups with Rui at C and as the only big. Prince at PF against those guys is a damn joke. Maybe if Prince is a flame throwing like he was on Saturday, that makes up for it. But last night he was only good for 6 points and zero made 3s.

Like I said, I don't think either Castleton or Giles get us the W but it's the right call to address the size disadvantage. But we were competitive and to not at least give the guys the best chance at a win is s***ty coaching.
