We're generating open threes, so it's kind of hard to blame him for everything that goes wrong. The most frustrating thing is his continued infatuation and attachment to undeserving, underperforming vets. Prince right now, probably Vincent when he gets back.

Generating or the other team just gave us them? We were generating 3s last 2 seasons too.
Ham making bad early challenges almost cost us today. Lost it challenging a charge on AD in the first half that looked like a charge and couldn't challenge the egregiously bad charge call on AD in the 4th quarter. Just dumb.
Ham really save us from defeat last night. Those who want CWood after AD fouled out, has a very short memory. CWood has had now 2 games in the season with 0 points, both of them against Houston and the first one, he was a starter.
This guy Sengun is really legit.
Those who said Ham abandoned the post game in the 4th, not really. What happened was we exploit when Sengun when out with foul problems. Then in the 4th when Sengun came back,, AD got in foul trouble himself. Those calls in the 4th to AD no challenge will have overturned neither of them.

Totally agree.
He deserves criticism for whatever is happening in the 1Q too. Bad game planning? Bad starters? IDK but it's clockwork at this point.
But overall I still think Ham is decent. And I've been beating this drum recently but man the court is wide open for LeBron to attack the basket, yeah LeBron looks fresher but he also basically only has to beat his primary defender.
You win with superstars and I like the fact that we're creating the spacing needed for LeBron to play like a superstar.

To add to this, unless people think we are going to remain the 4th worst 3point shooting team all season (which includes brick after brick on wide open shots) the offense is primed to start looking a lot better with the lane open even more for Bron and AD. _________________ 14-5-3-12

But is it enough to get past Denver? And then Boston/Milwaukee? _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

That was the vision. This team playing up to shooting potential should be deadly offensively.
I worry we will be playing non-shooters in Reddish and Vando a lot of minutes, which will in turn limit the Lakers' shooting ceiling.
(I have hope Reddish can have a playoffs hot streak enough to make him a credible threat -- think Rondo in 2020 -- though. Less hopeful about Vando)
WHy keep 2 timeouts at the end there, when your oldest player who you just played the whole 4th on a back end of a b2b game looked exhausted and just spent all his energy to get you the lead?
The difference between us and other top west teams is that they could afford to not call a timeout there, they have stars that can go iso and score, we don’t (lebron is never that guy). We rely on AR/Lebron pick and roll and get things started. The last 2 offensive possessions prior to the 3 were so horribly ru.

Lebron just short armed the lob, I believe he would’ve gotten it to AD if the ball was 6 inches higher(another sign of fatigue)
Another way was lebron make a move to the baseline and that help defender would’ve come (yet another sign of fatigue)

Lebron was visibly gassed. Use those damn timeouts.

Lakers failed on that come back because they failed on all 3 phases there.
Coaching - Bad situational game management recognition. Not helping out your players there.
Defense - Up 2 points giving up a wide open 3 to one of the clutch shooter of the game. (Pissed me off the most)
Offense - Horrible execution of players there at the end. But fatigue did play a factor on both last 2 possessions.
