This guy needs to get a copyright on the Blocked by Bamba phrase and put it all over purple and gold t-shirts.
Well, you have a point but the other side of this is that I doubt seriously any of these trades would have happened earlier. EVERYONE was waiting and EVERYONE was trying to fleece us. ONLY when it got down to the very end and THEY needed to make their own changes and decisions were they willing to deal with us fairly. I think Rob did what was available and didn't do the stupid things that he was being lured into. He knows the fans were up his as* ready to rip him a new one and he waited until reasonable deals were offered. One of the main reasons I feel these were all good moves is that these are all tradable assets should the fit not prove to be exactly what we need. IMHO, Rob did a good to great job, not just because of the moves he made but also because of the moves he didn't make. Whatever!!
This dude... Let's see what he can do against the Pelicans. He's still under suspension, but at least he's with the team now.
Suggs saved Mo from a 3 week suspension. Mo was half cocked there and Suggs came in and took Rivers down fast enough for Mo to think twice. Damn.
Another guy shooting them like he does in the game … that follow through But hey 55% last 10 games … whatever works.
Not with this guy at the helm. I think what may be the issue is that like an iceberg 90% of that bump resides in the section of his brain where reasoning takes place. No offense to icebergs everywhere.
We'll see..but he finally get's his hands on a Brook Lopez type of 5. A shot blocker that can shoot it from deep. He's given everyone we've traded for this season a good look on the court. Bev, Rui, D'Angelo, Jarred, Beasley..I'm expecting the same for Bamba.
I am not thrilled with Coach Ham but neither do I think he merits being the poster boy for Laker fandom hate. It's like y'all gotta have someone to blame at every moment. Russ is gone and now y'all on to Ham. I mean, he is at the stage of questioning some of his moves but the hate is ridiculous.
Raises hand in back of the room. Meh he’s an easy target with his pig headedness about starting Schroder “seemingly” above all other considerations. When we could now after acquiring DAR better use him off the bench, same as Westbrook. But I don’t hate him. A lot of barbed jokes in the name of attempted humor. Can’t speak for others’ true level of dislike or worse. I do feel he talked a whole bunch of certain coaching traits to look for from him in the many interviews pre-season and has not been true to what he was selling.
Just speaking for myself: I did not like Ham as headcoach for this team way before we traded Russ. I have the ability to not like two people at the same time. And when I say I don't like Ham, it has nothing to do with his personality. I originally thought he was a good hire because of his personality and the probability that he had a good coaching base working under Coach Bud. However, his performance has been poor. I have three main complaints: Terrible team defense Head scratching lineup mixtures Lack of in game adjustments If he could figure those three areas out I would stop complaining.
