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

I can’t “like” that just yet. Too soon since I was calling for poop on the man’s head just 4 days ago.

 

We got to give credit when it’s due, and poop on the head when it’s not. If we can’t change our mind every single game then we’ll all get a coronary, gotta cope by blaming ham for his midget line up fetish when they lose and completely ignore it if they win

 

I agree. I’m not sure who else he could play at this point.

 

Gotta again tip my hat to him for keeping these guys playing hard despite the tough moments this year.

 

Definitely. Was going to say something similar several games back even while wanting the brown stuff for not playing Reaves or Brown over Schroder or Bev in starting lineup, but forgot to. Since Slick posted the information on his history with Dennis it would have to be Bev … fine. Considering now the 5 game win streak with AD and three of our other best reserves out, including the win over hot Miami with no AD OR LeBron …. maybe he knows what he’s doing.

But still Pelinka has to get rid of Bev and Nunn to save us from Darvin having that option and they are even playing better to help upping their trade value.

 

Rotations get easier when guys are hurt. I’m curious to see what he does when guys get back. Will he keep running Walker at SF even though we get killed? Stay tuned..

 

This will tell the tale for the rest of the season. I believe we have turned a corner and Ham is figuring this out. I don't believe in jinxes so I am going to say it. We will be the last team standing. Lebron, AD and TB will be incredible now that Bryant is playing ball again. Early in the season he didn't looks so good. Schroder is playing great and it looks like Beverly is going to be the fifth guy no matter what as long as he is on the team.

 

We know he would bring intensity lol

 

It's kind of weird that the Lakers are 5th in the NBA in scoring and 7th in rebounding, even with the small ball.
While a lot of the favorite trade scenarios involve adding more shooting.

 

Da hell are you all talking about? Max has been playing well, especially on D and certainly can't be any worse than the Hobo...

Rotate:

1. Bron, PatBev (if you must play him, because it gets you off), Dennis, TB, JTA
2. Russ, Dennis, Max, TB, JTA
3. Russ, PatBev, Bron, TB, Max

Throw in some Nunn, but AGAIN, not in a 3 midgets setup!!!!


Or thereabouts. There is no need to play 3 out of Nunn, PatBev, Dennis and Russ together. None.

ESPECIALLY WITH BRON AT CENTER, you weirdo.

 

i think the smallball complaints are largely about defense, where we're...not strong.

 

The 2nd best perimeter player over 6'5 on the roster is Troy Brown

I'm not judging Ham's coaching

 

don't like that he implied that AD is good on the perimeter there. he can't actually believe that. i'm a big AD supporter, but the other team breathes a sigh of relief when he catches the ball 25 ft from the basket.

15ft and in, they should all be terrified and basically have no option but a super hard double. our offense needs to understand this.

 

Or switch Walker and Brown.

 

I like Brown or Austin starting...they stay engaged without hunting shots.

Lol..he just totally left Bev and Nunn out of the equation.

 

Lonnie Walker has been a huge net negative. We'll see what his role is once he returns but he shouldn't be guaranteed anything.

 

Did you miss the first 13 or so games of the season when the lineup was AD, LeBron, Brown, Lonnie and Beverly? He looked and played terrific and was OK on D … tried.

 

yeah, walker got swallowed when we put schroder in the starting lineup. he also started dealing with his injuries around then, too, right?

i do agree that he'll have to earn his way back in. and if we're going to keep starting schroder (which is defensible at this point), it will probably have to be from the bench.

also, given his contractual status, i wouldn't be shocked if he were used as salary ballast in a trade if need be.
