    You know what I’m not sure this isn’t true. I don’t know why Ham thinks he can be the guy to make it work, it’s not gonna work.

    Maybe. i thought he Probably figured even Russ couldn’t mess this up at this point so I’ll put him in there and let him show that he can be valuable and was quickly proven wrong.

    He can’t be prideful or stubborn about this. Ham knows what needs to be done.

    He has LeBron and AD, he just needs to have the balls to bench non performing guys like Russ and Bev. It’s as if he hasn’t reviewed what happened last season.

    Yea not benching Russ makes Ham a paper tiger with all his talk during the summer about holding players accountable.

    There's definitely improvements in this team. We are defending very well and with a "normal" shooting night we would have won comfortably.
    Let's see who closes the game on Wednesday, if it's Russ I'll be very disappointed.

    lol, i know we're a bad shooting team, but i can't fathom being 20% from deep as a team as a rule. you almost have to try to miss that many shots.

    It's hilarious it's so bad. Nobody should be expecting to win anything based upon the number of threes we are taking these days

    We saw a bit of improvement in the third. Teams got to keep shooting them.

    It has to be a team wide mental issue by now. I keep hearing how next to any NBA player can make tens of threes in a row in training. Well, our players are bricking mostly uncontested shots due to the way they are being defended. Thery are not really THAT bad (maybe with the exception of Westbrick).

    Back on topic - Ham absolutely needs to bench Russ in crunch time, he just has to. If he doesn't, he loses all credibility.

    Yeah I agree. They also hear all the noise around and feel that pressure.
    Troy got a ball by Russ in the corner and the play stopped. He still made the shot and it got in. He turned his head up like "now I make it and it doesn't count?". That's not a normal reaction from a NBA player in a shot that doesn't count

    Ham looks just helpless out there.

    I assume he knows this team sucks, but what is he suppposed to do except singing the same old song...."we were great, I'm very optimistic, we will figure it out" lol.
