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

almost gave away the gm with the denis/oscar pairing

 

i'm with everyone. i was watching down the stretch wondering where reaves was.

 

Ham is really getting on my nerves: why is so obsessed with playing small guys

 

He keeps doing dumb things. I really don’t get this dude. I thought he was supposed to be a good coach?

 

maybe from his playing days? an unkilled smallish guard?

 

As a rookie, Max is already twice the player BevMo is and much better than Dennis. He plays great D and has found his shot.

 

Why keep on playing midgets together? The lead evaporated because both can’t shoot or defend consistently. Mind bottling

 

No one said he was a good coach but he was a competent well liked long time assistant. Apparently one of the qualifications the Lakers FO was looking for was to grant someone’s wish to be a head coach, to earn cookie points and feel good about themselves.

 

Yep, don't like his rotations.
The thing is that it's against his own words. "Facts over feelings". "Defense, Defense, defense"

And then he does the opposite. Maybe it's something else going on.

Anyway, we are desperate for win, missing AD and we should play our best lineups. I don't buy the "showcasing" Nunn or Pat to trade them. No time for that and it's not like every team doesn't know already what they can get from them

I mean we were even playing the FT game and Reaves was seeing from outside, one of the best shooters in the LEAGUE. And then he comes in...to inbound sounds like a joke lol

He also tends to play his closing lineup all 12 minutes in the 4th. I don't get it

 

showing trade partners he's not actually physically dead? my best guess.

christie's got a really short leash, though.

lol

 

You think he'd learn not to do this after what happened in teh boston game?

 

This is why I stand alone on LB calling for POOP on this man's head.



But in deference to @Cookie 's apparent (reading between the lines) aversion to this .... OK fine

.... let's do HATS.

 

We won the game, that's all that matters, on to the next one.

 

Not when the stupidity makes every game so much harder to win. You can’t be a supporter of this midget ball of his …. even with AD out? Oh wait …. it’s you. Defender of devil’s advocacy. OK let’s hear it.

 

Dont think @Cookie likes Ham

 

Sure, lets play Bron 40mins./game just to have a chance at a W (against all the bad teams), because dumbo can't figure out the rotations. This will end well...

 

hasnt this midget ball a key issue for most of the come back loses, i.e Bos, Indy, Dall, etc

 

i'd have to go back and look, but we got killed in the first half with lebron out, largely because russ came in and looked to be playing for the hornets.

when lebron sat in the second, i think ham made sure reaves was on the floor, which was probably the right call. that and no russ kept us from getting murdered while lebron sat, iirc.

with AD out, i'm not sure how many options we have other than to play lebron big minutes. i do think we should strategically sit him in games we're unlikely to win anyway, though, which we rarely do and have a lot of groin pulls to show for it.
